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.

Re: TirNaHifi Notifacitions

Thanks for the advice. I have the default settings but I don't seem to get any notifications when someone sends me a PM.
I did not change any of the settings but, to try to improve things, I clicked on 'Save' so maybe things will work better now.

Tir Na Hifi Notifications

Can I get a notification (via email) if I get a PM (private message)?. I regularly look at the site but only login when I want to post/reply to something.

Re: Squeezebox

I started out with one of these. A really good introduction to (local) streaming. You rip some CDs to your computer and run the Logitech media server on your PC. Also gives you Internet radio. If you want to try streaming grab the offer. Don't think it will support Tidal or Qobuz.. A really generous...

Re: What's the most overrated/disappointing gear you bought?

I can (maybe) see the (possible) advantages of separate volume controls for each channel.
Less crosstalk?
But why not couple them with string as used on old style tuners with an analogue dial?
Maybe for true double-mono you should have a 2 box preamp.

Re: Wtd: 2m interconnect

I have the same player.
Resolution audio recommend a cable from (I think) DNM? and they made one up for me. (din to din).
Maybe contact Resolution.

Quad 33/303 -- new verion being launched

https://the-ear.net/news/quad-33-303-amplifier-history-revisited/ I got the latest Cloney newslettrer and he mentions a new revision of the Quad 33/303. So I looked it up and the above is a good description. It's an interesting concept but it is really (as far as I can judge) a totally new design b...
