The "f" in "Middle of the road"

Hi-Fi twat
Well.....I guess it's on the right track

OK. Let's go with baby steps.

This may be where I have to nope out. I do not want to have to create a sodding quiz, but Copilot sure as hell can't. Just a never-ending circle of not-good-enough.

I'm going to wager that this won't turn out as well as implied:
December 16, 2025 at 11:32 AM
Erm.....
December 16, 2025 at 11:30 AM
Again, the clarification suggests we might get somewhere.....

Oh FFS 😅

Onto attempt #13,787

Just get in the bin. I could have done something actually usable myself but this nonsense has me equally intrigued and enraged.

Here's a question with multiple choices.

Well this is an exceptional tune 😎

Stupid "hobby".

Bought some HIFIMAN HE1000 Stealth for the upstairs headphone setup, so the FiiO FT7 can be part of the "full" system downstairs 🙄

This little stack of electromagical stuff is proving to be a heck of an investment for the old home office. Proper music.

Oh boy, this is still a good racket to listen to 😎

'Liquid Skin' by Gomez has been reissued for the first time in years 😎

The latest additions to the nerd castle are in place and work like charms.

I knew I wanted the snazz factor and usability of the WiiM Ultra as a streaming transport but that it lacked a bit of clout with headphones, so a FiiO K13 R2R DAC / amp takes on that task.

Parcel #1 setup in standard simple #WiiM fashion.

Parcel #2 arrives next week and gives some oomph.

Sexy new headphones, baptised in unicorn juice and rainbow aura have arrived.

The cable is from the distant future and thankfully they sound excellent.

You joke, but some of the marketing bullshit associated with this latest nonsense is *sensational*.

Behold (and no, this is not a joke. It's incredible 😅):

Wes Montgomery and the Wynton Kelly Trio "Smokin' In Seattle"

I'm not sure if this is the new ICE uniform or an American golf fan?

This is somehow the album I've owned by The Rolling Stones, and it looks set to be swiftly followed by three more that everyone can instantly guess.

TIDAL recommended this guy to me and if you like some acoustic guitar flex, he's totally worth a listen.

Incredibly clean sounding album.

I'm only fifteen years late in finding Jimmy Wahlsteen 😂

It's taking a while to get through my record backlog. Onto LP 2 of 3 from B.B. King's "Nothin' but...bad luck".

'Mean Ole Frisco' is superb on this one.

Then some Rolling Stones, Wes Montgomery and finally Pink Floyd.

Then maybe I can go shopping again...

Three B.B.King records? Yes please!

It's a compilation of material from his first decade or so and has a whole bunch of alternate recordings to versions of songs I've heard. Bargain at £15 and all on funky blue vinyl 😎

A mid-nineties classic here. The Bluetones are still touring and are still excellent. Terrific debut album.

A fortuitous similarity to lead singer Mark Morriss made me a bit popular back in my college days.....
