A note about reviews in quality HiFi magazines
Firstly. Believe that a reviewer believes what they have written. Very few are outright cynics.
Secondly. What isn’t reviewed is as telling as what is. Some dogs of product are sent back to the manufacturers unreviewed.

Stop renting your music collection, start owning it (again).
LP & CD are the finest sources of music reproduction available. We have always advocated these sources because of our experiences with streaming - simply not equalling the performance of well chosen, cost effective physical media players

Of course, I have been reliably informed, the best place for coffee in Cheadle is not marked on this map! 😁
Reports of the death of eating / drinking out has been, I feel, very much exaggerated.
I give you, the coffee shops of Cheadle village.

What made us so interested in setup?
A moment 25 years ago when we realised that the finish on a Quadraspire shelf made more difference to the music than that between two different CD players.

It doesn’t matter how much you spend on audio equipment. If set up isn’t taken seriously, then you haven’t got great performance. Simple.
Reminds me of the long term customer who we’d not seen for 15 years, he came in a few weeks ago to update his equipment, and walked out with an AcouPlex rack

In music reproduction it is rarely the big players where performance lies.
We have had some mesmerising results recently from small companies (most that you have never heard of) that are pulling out all the stops to do it better.
Great HiFi is not a commodity, it is passion.
