Hmm, it could be that you should be considering a simple active speaker set-up as suggested by Pete Millard, a 3.5mm cable and you're all set. Your Android device will give you access to all of the various online streaming services if they're important to you. A couple of years back I bought a...

I have to say, Bose's lack of transparency with pricing has always alienated me* - it feels like they're trying to sucker me into something. There appears to be very little discounting on Sonos kit, but at least they're upfront with their prices. *I take it back, their UK website now has...

Pete, what source material was your sister using? I rip all my CDs to lossless FLAC*, and they sound fine to me. I do find that some of the streaming services use very low bit rates together with dynamic compression to the point that they're almost unlistenable. In truth I do very little 'pure...

Just checked this morning at http://www.sonos.com/shop/ Sonos are offering the 'free' bridge with all of their systems, so Play1 + bridge is £169 inc delivery - with a 60 day return period. I've not tried their returns process, so can't speak for any complications that might arise - but taken...

I find the Sonos 1 fine for my listening habits in the rooms I have them in - if that makes sense. One is in the kitchen, ~4m x 3m, the other is in an office of similar size. Both offer more than adequate volume for the size of room and my listening habits, I don't think I've ever listened...

Translation : I've got no evidence to support my assertions, so I'm going to pretend to be above this.[fx: sound of chicken squawking] :lol:

Left wing rant? I was simply asking for the evidence to support your claim, methinks the lady doth protest too much. edit: interestingly I just did your suggested Google, it came back with "phil.p is a paranoid fantasist" - spooky how accurate search engines can be these days.

I have a pair of sonos 1, great kit but no line in or similar. You do have the option to stream music from an Android device over wifi, presumably same for ios, but I've never tried this.

are you playing the smiley allows a moronic comment card, or do you have some evidence for this? Thought not.

Indeed, you have made a non sequitur. What is your point?

It was all the other rot in between the bold and CAPITALs of Losos' rant that concerned me, it suggested delusions of adequacy.

So long as the BBC continue to provoke this sort of reaction I'd say they're doing a fine job. :lol: Note how the smiley makes that statement less offensive. :lol: If it looks like an ill-mannered political squabble, swims like an ill-mannered political squabble, and quacks like an...

This deliberate example of how not to use a tablesaw made me feel quite queasy, spooling through to ~4m30s it's amazing he didn't sustain an injury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 7sRrC2Jpp4 His strapline is: I do (REALLY) dumb stuff so you can see it happen - he's not wrong...

I'm afraid I can't help with the plans, but on a related topic I saw some pictures from the Lyme Regis boat-building Academy last week. Their class for 2013 had their mass launch in Lyme Bay last Monday - some lovely work on show. http://www.boatbuildingacademy.com/...

I watched a reasonable amount of the coverage,although not all of it, in fact just sufficient for me. I suppose I should point out that I had, rather fortunately as it turns out, treated myself to one of those fancy Japanese TVs with a remote control channel changing facility and an off button.

I use coach screws from underneath.

Peace in our time!

Not wanting to start a fight, or cast nasturtiums on the one true sharpening technique, but (deep breath...) if I were paying an hourly rate for trades and had a facility out of commission because of refurbishment works or for any of a thousand other reasons wanted the job done lickety split, I...

I look forward to hearing your progress - I've got the same bandsaw. Getting the boxes out of the car and assembling it on my own was no joke, but I was too impatient to wait for a helping hand! I've only used larger blades so far (exclusively 3/4"), so I'd be interested to hear how you get on...

Duly noted! :lol:
