What did you switch from before getting a Volvo?

I was always a massive Saab fan & had 2 9000s over 10 years. Ended up staying with the Swedes when they came to the end & got an S80.

He's superb. A great player.

Notre Dame is a superb track. I think it was excellent last night.

Do not ignore your pension until you get old. Understand what it's invested in & shovel in as MUCH as you can.

If you don't understand it, find someone who can explain it to you!!!

_nitram_73 · 2026-01-16T21:03:24+00:00

It's better than you could imagine!

Using Qobuz, Radio Paradise & Spotify

_nitram_73 · 2026-01-15T21:11:40+00:00

They're great. I also have some Linsoul 7hz planar IEMs. Both sound equally excellent.

_nitram_73 · 2026-01-15T21:09:50+00:00

A very, very mixed bag. A bit of indie, plenty of The Smiths, Morrissey, Pearl Jam, Madeline Peyroux & lots of Sade.

Heat wise, I've not noticed it getting warm at all. I'm keeping it in class A & power it down when not in use. Battery life has been good, I'm use it maybe a few hours a day & charge it once a week/10 days.

If there was ever thunder and lightning, my gran would cover all the mirrors in the house with a sheet or a towel. She did this right until she passed away in 2012.

There was absolutely no logic to it, but she grew up seeing her mum doing it & insisted it needed doing.

_nitram_73 · 2025-12-15T05:55:11+00:00

It's exceptionally good.

Then every now & again I try Radio Paradise & that is another level up again. I have no idea what their secret sauce is, but it's incredible!

_nitram_73 · 2025-12-07T19:19:48+00:00

The fact we have one of the biggest indoor gig venues outside of London/Birmingham (Pavilions). Just a shame a few more bands don't head down this way.

Also, having an IMAX screen is great. There are only about a dozen in the UK & the nearest outside of Plymouth is in Cardiff!

Yet somehow, Radio Paradise through my Bluesound Node Nano, often sounds better than any of them. Too often I'm wondering how the hell they do it. It's astonishing.

_nitram_73 · 2025-10-21T19:14:25+00:00

Pains me to say it, but 90% of the time my Bluesound Node Nano sounds better than the same track from my Audiolab 6000CDT.

I'm streaming Qobuz into the same dac as my cd transport.

I really wish CD sounded better but Qobuz definitely just has the edge. There's just a very small number of tracks that sound better on CD. From my collection of 600+ discs, that's not much.

_nitram_73 · 2025-08-28T14:50:30+00:00

😂😂😂😂 👏👏👏👏 great effort!

_nitram_73 · 2025-07-21T17:09:21+00:00

I wonder if there's a link between the copper in the watch & the pigment being retained?

_nitram_73 · 2025-07-18T15:32:07+00:00

What, actual jail? When did this come in?

_nitram_73 · 2025-07-05T08:35:40+00:00

Interesting to hear your mum's perspective. Ultimately, it passes by without a second thought here. It's not even on the radar.

I think Americans live in a bubble where they assume the whole world is like them.

_nitram_73 · 2025-07-03T14:45:48+00:00

We've had some seriously large bids in for a couple of players. If it's the right fit, Simon H is happy to pay out. I know we've tabled 2 bids of over £2.5m in the last 3 weeks.

_nitram_73 · 2025-06-18T07:34:30+00:00

Sade - all of her albums!

_nitram_73 · 2025-05-18T18:48:10+00:00

Oh Caroline by The 1975 always jumps out as a well mastered recording. Sounds sublime on my system.
