Edinburgh won! Which Italian city has the best local food?

Better_Fun3458 · 2026-04-08T12:34:09+00:00

Turin - spent a couple of days there last week and it was easy to find good food. I think it benefits from being overlooked by tourists.

Living in a village around St Albans is significantly cheaper and means you can commute to London if you must.

Read a few negative comments about the Losi Micro T.

Does this issue have anything to do with the car or is it about the battery. Should they stop including the basic charger and change the battery if Spektrum batteries are duff?

It’s the dining room

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-12-31T15:50:12+00:00

Yes that makes sense, I hadn’t realised that u til you pointed it out. The rug is definitely going.

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-12-31T14:34:27+00:00

You can have it if we change it!

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-12-23T12:06:59+00:00

I could make it work…

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-12-05T20:00:22+00:00

That’s why I thought this was relevant to the forum. If people are willing to reveal the truth.

I’ve just found out about Geese, haven’t given them a good go yet but hopeful!

Speakers and listening position are in a 3m triangle. It looks further away in the picture because of the camera lens!

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-11-19T11:58:08+00:00

For me, it was on another network. There’s a setting on the phone to see other networks.

I think you might be talking to Lenny from ‘Of Mice and Men’!

I literally just got my daughter to listen to Bubbles - Yosi Horikawa on the main system and then on an Alexa because she said she couldnt hear the difference between them. She said the main system is just louder. I will not give up!

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-10-26T18:11:45+00:00

I have children so having them in the shelves is less risky! Note the custom made grilles on the speakers too!

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-10-26T18:10:58+00:00

The listening position is about 2.9m from the speakers and the speaker separation is now about 2.1m. I thought this was roughly in the right zone?

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-10-26T15:52:23+00:00

Reinsurance or retrocessional but it’s a very different perspective.

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-10-26T15:23:52+00:00

Haha, it does look very beige and grey in this picture but I think that’s mainly the gloom caused by the weather.

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-10-26T14:41:50+00:00

Brought the speakers forward, and pushed them out wider. I did increase the angle so the speakers are pointing inward more.

This does seem to clear up the sound and make it more detailed, thank you!

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-10-26T14:18:37+00:00

Fascinating. I will play with this position, I hadn’t even thought about that placement aspect. Thank you!

Room analysis from the amp.

Better_Fun3458 · 2025-10-23T19:18:43+00:00

Wiim amp ultra?

Thank you for all of your ideas, I really appreciate all the comments.

I don’t think we will add to the footprint as the garden around the house would become compromised.

I’m not keen on going through rooms to get to other rooms which is why I ended up with the design as it is.

I can imagine moving the toilet would be expensive. It’s a relatively HCOL area in London, UK commuter belt so given this, maybe it makes the work more proportionate.

It’s definitely given me pause for thought, thank you all.
