D’oh! Quite right, and the Sansui was an excellent turntable but it wasn’t the one I was trying to remember. Trio’s offering in the same market area had a composite granite plinth. Can’t remember the model number now but it was a long time ago.

Always thought Kenwood/Trio were under-appreciated in this country. The SR222 was a brilliant budget deck, much nicer than the ubiquitous Pioneer PL12D. Let’s hope the KP9010 lives up to that.

I don’t know if you’ll all be able to see this as it’s a link to Facebook, but can anyone tell me what this bloke’s on about? I think I may once have smoked the same stuff he did…

It seems to me that this message wasn’t following the thread, but it certainly fits ‘Nothing in Particular’.

Well either it is or it isn’t….

Love that smell! Interesting mechanism behind it:

Nor me, but we did have Yeovilton’s Swordfish, a Harvard and something else I didn’t have time to identify over us on Thursday. I’ve seen the Swordfish a few times over my son’s place two miles from Yeovilton, but I’ve not seen it down this way before.

I just had a look at the WD forum members list in order of greatest activity, and the vast majority of members who have contributed more than 300 posts are active on this forum as well, so I would assume would be more likely to communicate through here than through there, since most have moved on ...

Fingers (and legs) crossed!

Be interesting to see if the Quads and Leaks sound any better than the KEL84.

Sorry to hear that, Phil. Condolences to Jean and yourself.

It seems simple to me, but I’m a simple person.
Looking at the way we pronounce millimetre, centimetre, decimetre, kilogram, kilowatt etc, why would you not pronounce kilometre the same way?

Equally, those who pronounce kilometre to rhyme with speedometer should burn in the hottest corner of Hell.

Having said that, why do we pronounce speedometer that way?

You’re right. They never did an automatic version of the 2015-2020 H-RV. The current model however is a hybrid where the ic engine is only connected directly to the wheels at higher speeds. The rest of the time drive is provided by the electric motor and there is no gearbox as such. I drove a Jazz ...

Lord knows what I'd replace it with when the time comes.


Same story with my Civic. Bought it on 45k in 2018, last year it turned over 100k and the local garage reported the timing chain was getting a bit rattle. Not necessarily a cause for concern but when added to a couple of spurious engine ...
