dismissed the whole idea as some modern youthful nonsense, but yesterday I was moved to subscribe to this music, if you will, 'streaming' service.

It's amazing! It's got all sorts of stuff! 'Playlists' and so forth.

Give it a go, you won't regret it.

Quite good save for the annoying voice telling me to upgrade.

My classic broke, I was too poor to buy a new one so started putting selected playlists/albums on my phone each month.

Then, by the time I had money to buy a new classic, Apple discontinued them.

So, Spotify makes a lot more sense when I'm listening outside of home. It also allows to immediately listen to new albums w/o downloading etc. V nice.

They're just champing at the bit to tell you that the sound quality is rubbish and you need some gold plated, diamond tipped leads and a proper valve amp to truly appreciate the work of Color Me Bad.

just how good it is. I'm running it through an Arcam AirDac, Cyrus 8a amp and B&W 683s (the series 2s).

Very impressed with the tonal imagery, which I expected to lack depth. Dynamic control is tight and there is a muscularity to the delivery in the mid-range.

I'm guessing that 'Cyrus' is the made up bit.

Is that alright? You don't mind waiting? I mean, I'm really sorry not to have the answer to this most sensible of questions at my fingertips. The trouble is, I'm NOT A f**kING MIND READER.

Was it pre- or post-cider? This is crucial.

It was merely a question which may have had a simple reply.

Perhaps the equipment was concealed, perhaps it was in a room that the thieves did not make entry to, perhaps they were simply too stupid to notice (at a guess) a few thousand pounds worth of audio equipment at their disposal.

Perhaps it was robbed but has since been replaced.

The rudeness of your response is unwarranted.

Or is there a way around this?

I am under the assumption it's a streaming service?

It's really quite fantastic.

Although digital or simulated effects will divide opinion. For home use it's really quite spectacular.

rarely use my amp or pedals these days. When you can have thousands of different sounds to choose from it's great stuff. I even have a guitar lead with a usb on the end.

Wish this stuff was around when I was in my teens.

you have a triumphantly and robustly agricultural approach to audio quality. I'd like to sit you down with Steve Albini. I think you might respect him.

equipment that they're really not hearing what the artist recorded at all.

The difference between a good system and a poor system is far from infinitessimal.

Any minute now my brand new Puma Kings are going to impact your testesatchel at high velocity. It's a good job your nuts haven't dropped yet, or it might hurt.

Yes. I've resorted to playing the man. What are you going to do about it?

Safe to say that Kurt was never going to make old bones.

Until she hired Melissa Auf der Mar to play bass, that is.
