She has on more than one occasion offered to go shopping with my sister me so that we can learn about fashion from her. 🤣🤣 I would give her a colouring book and some pencils for Christmas. The expensive presents can be put away until she grows up and learns some manners 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank's pride and joy(apart from me of course😊)was a Bush Arena Hi FI stereo system and the sound quality was beautiful. There is no comparison to the CDs we listen to now, imho.

Even expensive TV speaker systems cannot compete with large free standing floor speakers, with multiple woofers, tweeters etc. Coupled with a decent amp (Denon in my case), you would get a depth of sound with proper stereo separation that is far superior to any tv speaker system 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the main reason modern CD systems don't compare with old vinyl systems, is because they are packaged in tiny little boxes, which makes them very convenient. Play them both through a quality amp and speaker and I am sure the difference would be minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad I am tone deaf, I have a small smart speaker that I use to amplify my record list from my computer and that sounds as good to me as my mates mega expensive Bose system.

But as you say, you still need a decent amp and speakers, which most people do not have. Cheap systems give a "thin" sound, with far too much treble, and no bass due to the small size of the speakers. Using bluetooth degenerates the sound quality even further. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tui unlike P&O were not trying to save money as Mein Schiff 4 overnighted here, so their passengers got to see the fabulous decorations. Anyway exceedingly quiet here today as the 10,600 passengers from Ion and Mein Schiff 4 have left and there are no ships in port at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did try to tell me yesterday that Christmas trees should have "lots of colours on them, not only boring silver and white". ☺️ Kids!
