Can you describe your setup a little better? I assume you have an AVR and your sources (DVD player, Sky box etc) in a cupboard with a HDMI linking the AVR to the TV and then speaker cable going to the various speakers around the room? If this is the case then checking if your AVR and TV both...

I had one on my 80s Aiwa thing I inherited/stole from my parents but was never convinced I ever made anything sound better, simply different and some element always annoyed me. I've not had one for two decades now and don't miss it at all. That said, we dont have space for a seperate hifi and...

Don't think that something that anyone into hi fidelity music would do, cannot remember the last time I saw an EQ from anyone like Arcam, Cyrus, Marantz, Cambridge Audio etc... it's fairly unusual to even have a base/treble knobs now. I don't believe you will find a modern all-in-one that would...

Both sides of the room go onto the neighbouring flat's lounges and the radiator pipes emerge from the wall rather than floor so I am guessing its a structural wall with plasterboard infront (dont know if dot & dab or on studs). The property was built in 2002 and we're doing the actual moving in...

Do you actually need it to be portable or just quick/easy to setup/put away? What do you listen to your music on normally when its not LPs? Also, what LPs are you listening to? How music is mixed has change a lot, initially due to different formats (tapes, CDs etc) and particularly since the...

Approx layout The window currently has built in blinds, we may consider adding some curtains but haven't decided yet. Going into the ceiling was the obvious choice, especially for the HDMI cable, but what I wasnt sure was on how to deal with the going left/right for the speakers? Do I take...

We're moving to our first own place (flat) and so now have the opportunity to hide cables for our 5.1 sound system and to the projector... the question is how? The room is a large lounge/diner/kitchen with the "lounge" being at the far end with a floor to almost ceiling window & french doors...

I once worked with a finance company that worked with a lot of car dealerships. Many of them wanted the convenience of buying their finance and insurance from the same company but we didnt write GAP insurance or such but we made some enquiries and found for the average policy that the dealer...

There are solid lines, cycle stop areas etc... all points to a traffic light controlled cross roads (though cannot see the lights either)

I had two almost identical dents but very different causes... Most painful was a large dent from the mid point of the drivers door all the way to the top of the front wheel arch on our SL500 when it was parked in the station carpark. Unfortunately the CCTV had a slow panning camera and the car...

Which make/model of TV? Are there any other smart devices (eg AppleTV, Google Chromecast) attached?

I've seen a philips 2 pin plug with USB socket that was sold as a "travel adaptor" into the UK market for a toothbrush. I cannot say for certain if it was designed for use with the shaver socket or was intended for use in Europe but it worked when plugged into a shaver socket.

There could be but I don't believe there is - the system was installed when the development went up in the 80s so not sure if regs were more relaxed back then, certainly the electrician said our current consumer unit wouldnt pass regs. The suppliers of the heating came out to see what the...

No storage heaters (as in the wall mounted units with bricks in them), just the floor heating that works in the same way as storage heating but uses the concrete slab rather than bricks. The internal thermostates don't control the floor heating, only the ceiling, and we've never had the...

It has been descrived as having storage heating that is in the floor. It has a central control unit, outside temp sensor and a on/off switch in each room. It only operated on the off peak power with the standard idea of using the thermal mass of the concrete floor to heat up on the cheap...

We need to replace both our toilet seats as they are clearly ancient and stained. Both the toilets appear to be the same but their existing seats arent. The toilet is a normal floor standing type (rather than floating) but the mounting points are not accessible from the underside - the pan goes...

Our storage heating currently has a single control thats marked min-max. This links up to an outside temperature probe and then by reference to the manual it shows what percentage of power is put through the floor heating during the off peak power hours. Eg no matter the setting you get 100%...

Wife has finally moved her pottery items out the back bedroom and hired a small studio to work in. The building used to be a factory and has been subdivided with stud walls (and some dodgy electrics) into a series of artists studios. In her room the floor is covered with some red tiles but...
