I think that having a decent selection of options allows you to pick what works best for you, and your point about changing the volume is valid. Something that always niggles about Bluetooth is what happens when you get social media and message alerts, and of course phone calls. There are ways...

I've installed in-ceiling speakers with streaming audio for customers where the systems have been based on Sonos/Bluesound multiroom amps, and Zone 2 out from AV receivers, and (for commercial applications) in-wall/on-wall single gang-sized amplifiers. Before Sonos really took off, (and before...

Good photo. Nice and clear. Thank you. Regarding daisy-chaining from the Triax 304260, if you look at your picture you'll probably be able to see that there's only one small hole for the centre core of some coax. There's no second entry for a loop connection. I think the moulding for the cable...

SCART hasn't been a thing on mainstream TV brands for about 15 years. It died a death with the arrival of LED TV (because they're much thinner), and with the demise of Plasma, and with the growth in HD signal availability and the requirements to keep signals secure. It's a damned shame because...

You could always try the Yamaha. The same socket that does for optical doubles up as an analogue input. Stereo RCA to 3.5mm jack plug. Same with the BD player. Compare the two.

Do you have a lot of physical media to play? More importantly, will you play it? Having a streaming media player opens up the possibility of playing digital files from your home network. The most sensible solution is a network attached storage drive - a NAS drive - because unlike a PC, it's...

You're asking me to guess? Come on now, let's be sensible. How would I know what they're suggesting, and you seem to be groping for? Which amp? What speakers? It's kind of like asking how fast a car goes. Are we talking a Ford Fiesta, an M-Series BM, or a Koenigsegg, here? Look, this is all...

You'd have to get them to quantify what they really mean. A good old receiver (with an external multichannel input to get around not having HD audio decoding) would sound comparable to a good modern receiver also decoding HD audio. The bass level for the main channel speakers is a function of...

You're asking if the bass 'goes off' with age? :sick: I don't think I've ever been asked that before. :LOL: Unless there's some problem with the circuitry - duff caps or a failing IC - I wouldn't expect the bass signal to sound worse with age. It might not stand up to scrutiny compared to more...

British mic stands tend to have 3/8th- or 1/4-inch British Standard Whitworth (BSW) threads. The Samson website tells me that the SP01 shock mount fits all standard mic stands. From that, I'd presume it's 3/8th Whitworth.

I've done it all for various customers. Screen paint allowed me to create projection surfaces where traditional fixed or rolldown screens wouldn't have been practical. The last one I did was in a museum in Chester. The screen size is 6m x 3.5m roughly. It's a 200 seat auditorium. It works...

Just a thought, (and you might have already covered this, so apologies if that's the case), but a lot of LG TVs have an RF power supply feature to run masthead amps and powered splitters etc. What I've noticed is that LG has a habit of re-enabling the feature after firmware updates. I've taken...

^ This. USB stick recording doesn't even have the flexibility offered by VHS/Betamax in the analogue era. It's a nice idea, but very poorly implemented.

Where you should start is with speakers. You're asking for something that can produce a wide sweet spot. There's one brand that comes to mind instantly for that, and it is KEF. They put the tweeter in the centre of the mid/bass driver. It's a position that doesn't contribute much to the bass...

It's a DVB-S2 receiver, so yes, it should pick up the HD channels.

^ This. You'll need a HD-capable receiver.

Regarding the idea of a single remote control that works both the TV and a Sat box. Yes, that's possible. Your Logik TV should have something called HDMI CEC (HDMI control). Does your Grundig Freesat box connect to the TV via HDMI? If so, switching on HDMI control for both the box and the TV...

Thanks for the pictures. Is it the camera making the faces look so magenta (purple), or is your TV picture really like that? If so, the green LEDs have gone in the backlight. Given that the TV is by Bush, the overlay issue, nd potentially a backlight problem as well, I'd say it's time to get a...

Have a look at your TVs settings for sharpness, contrast enhancement, colour enhancement, dynamic contrast, and whether you have the main picture mode set to Dynamic. It reads like your TV is picking up on the high MPEG compression used on Netflix streaming and on certain shots the TVs...
