    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    A Leon Cupra. I think it might be capable of something nearer 40mpg on runs but the problem is that is conditional on not turning on 'Twat mode' (SEAT calls it 'Cupra' but the sentiment is the same), where it makes a noise like a small war and moves amusingly quickly. Weirdly, my Fiesta didn't!

    Today, in 'breaking unexpected digital frontiers' is the discovery that my new car can play high res FLAC; It has to be said, sitting in it and listening to music is decidedly cheaper than actually using it*; *This may have been after driving it like a complete twat. I couldn't possibly...

    The Gyro lives again; The Gyro has been fitted with an SME M2 arm for the last few years but unfortunately, that’s developed a ground issue that is going to be a bit of a pig to fix. Thankfully, it is fairly adaptable when it comes to arms so today I’ve changed the arm board over to one that...

    I'm not going to lie, when I was held up at knifepoint many years ago, I was pretty fucking grateful that the Police turned up.

    I confess I asked the UK distributor but THIS looks reasonably legit.

    Black Lives Matter

    I'm not remotely qualified to comment on US police issues (beyond there are some serious issues) but with reference to the UK, something that has struck me for years is that the difference between regional police forces is extraordinary. I'm a middle aged white man, possessed of every innate...

    Yes. Put it this way. Someone who really knows what they're doing can use the free skins and plugins of Foobar to kit it out to do what jRiver does. The caveat is that it takes considerable time and experience to do so. For most users, they won't be able to do that. jRiver is able to work...

    In terms of 16/44.1, the Nils Lofgren Acoustic Live album still ranks close to an optimal demonstration of the art of the possible. More recently, the 24/96 version of Ayo's Royal on Qobuz is basically audiophile pornography too.

    Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

    Honest answer? No idea. Separating event from conjecture these days has largely resulted in me turning everything off and drinking beer until motor functions prevent me from holding a glass.

    Ironically, because everyone with access to flour has been making vast amounts of bread (with varying degrees of success), I haven't even had to buy bread let alone make my own.
