    what speakers do you use?

    I started out on Cambridge Audio gear, long before the Azur range existed though. Great stuff - the quality you get for the price has always been impressive. For a £200 budget I'd go with some good bookshelf speakers - rather than buying some cheapo floorstanders that just won't deliver...

    Favourite Music Theft Blogs

    I've set myself a limit in order to curb a spending habit that was getting out of hand. If it comes out on CD I buy it, vinyl only, and I'll grab some mp3s instead - be it legally or illegally. That twisted logic keeps my conscience clean. I apologise now to any labels that only release vinyl...

    what speakers do you use?

    Disclaimer: that isn't my photo by the way - the kit behind them isn't mine! Going back to the original posters question; cheap bass - Bang Diddly mentioned Mission and I just remembered, they did this great pair of multi-coned things a while ago now, Mission 753's. The quality wasn't...

    what speakers do you use?

    Using Quad 21L's - although these days most of my listening is through headphones. The Quads are really accurate, but the low end drops off fast... I've added a BK sub to try and flesh out the deeper side of things, but to be honest they aren't merging too well. Of course, it really depends on...

    King Midas Sound

    i really should change my avatar... combined with this thread its making me look like some kind of fanboy, and I do love other labels. Honestly.

    King Midas Sound

    It is a real grower. First couple of listens I wasn't too sure - but now it slots into my top albums of the year. I don't usually go with Boomkats sloppy 'sounds like this' comparisons, but they did mention Tricky, and I have to agree - it does feel like Maxine Quaye even if it doesn't actually...

    The Event : How Racist Are You?

    Yeah, quite frankly I think I'm being a bit of a twat about it. I was just riled by the experimenters defiant response to Krishnans question - to my ears it sent out the wrong message.

    The Event : How Racist Are You?

    Some people seem to have misunderstood what I tried to point out - probably because I worded it pretty badly; but I wasn't disagreeing with the gist of the experiment - or that white people are racist...that we exist within a racist social structure in the UK. That is obvious. BUT, and this is...

    The Event : How Racist Are You?

    Seems a rather childish simplification to me. I can't see how you overcome racial tension by labelling the white man the racist problem.

    The Event : How Racist Are You?

    Are we saying that racism isn't a problem in Jamaica for example? That you don't find gangs of racist Asian youths on the streets of the UK? That the Chinese hate the Japanese. The question isn't 'are white people racist?' it's 'are people racist?'.

    The Event : How Racist Are You?

    I only saw the last 10 minutes, but found it odd when Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked her the loaded question "So are all white people racist?" To which she didn't seem to recognise the irony. Am I missing something here, or was her experiment all about showing the racism inherent in a...

    BNP on Question Time

    All a bit of a letdown, Griffin is an idiot - I really wished he would have either stood up for his beliefs in front of direct criticism regardless of how warped they are, or... or something! Anything other than the predictable shuffling and avoidance that bigots/racists come up with when under...

    social networking is killing society

    Is it killing society? No one told me about this, sounds worrying.

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    OFP-DR is brilliant when played with 3 friends via online co-op. Discussing what to do next, shitting yourself when bullets start flying out of nowhere, crying like a girl when you bleed out on the floor because your medic was too scared to run over and help - hardcore gaming doesn't get any...

    Warp 20 Boxset

    I think they look quite good from a technical standpoint, although I agree the concept isn't great. Whoever did it spent time getting the lighting and specular to match the surrounding photo. What more could you do when dealing with a floating purple mobius strip? I could justify the purchase...

    Warp 20 Boxset

    I snapped it up. The package as a physical object is beautiful, and as a graphic designer the book of every Warp cover to date is a must-have. The music could have been a bit more exciting. Firstly everything on CD is being released as either separate CD sets or digital downloads. I'm not sure...
