The auto renew can also be switched off there.

Thanks for the hint but I much prefer a paper copy.

what professionals use to play records

Latest hifi+ (may 2025) has an interview with Giles Martin (son of George Martin of Beatles fame).

When Giles wants to check a pressing he plays it on a wrensilva console (I never heard of them either)

Re: Has aliexpress stopped using paypal (Feb-2025)?

The latest is that it accepts PayPal but when I go to the checkout it tells me I have to pay in sterling.
I agree and then it tells me the stuff is not available for my address.
I then have a cart with no entries.
Strange.

Has aliexpress stopped using paypal (Feb-2025)?

I am trying to buy stuff on aliexpress. I put it in my cart and at checkout I don't have the pay button. It seems to ask me to add a credit card. (I have been using paypal with aliexpress for ages. Including last week).

Anyone else noticed this?

Is it safe to add a credit card?

Re: Tir Na Hifi Notifications

Thanks to both of you ..
I had
TirNaHifi Notifacitions
instead of
TirNaHifi Notifications

I don't worry a lot about mis-spellings but I thought it was important in this case. If any one is searching for advice on Notifications I would like them to find the thread.
