    Home Alone. Thats me. Mrs and kids away for about ten days during the school hols here. Quite frankly , Im bored already. On the up side, I got a new stereo recently...and , now that I am in a position to test it out properly I can report the volume goes up past eleven all the way to " loud as **** ".


    might stick something by The Jam on soon <whistle>

    nothing too special just a sony, its very large though and the sub-woofer is pretty good I think.....wouldnt have been anywhere near my first choice but how it looks in the living room is the most important aspect....so I was informed.

    That's wimmin for ye. Form over function every time for them. As long as it looks pretty.

    Been about 12 years since I bought a hi-fi. Mibby time to get a new one. It still sounds brilliant though. So mibby not.

    We have a "hi-fi specialist" where I live, and I swear that one day I'll be in there to spend big...

    He sells all of those brands that look like a ****ey black box with one dial, but sound belting through the speakers with diamond tipped tweeters and dustbin sized bass cones.

    All for £5k.

    Until then, Richer Sounds it is!

    I don't see what the whole appeal is in hi-fi's. I have all my music on my computer and only listen to CD's in the car. Guy in my work spent over £15k on a hi-fi, although he gets pissed off if you call it a hi-fi.

    *Record for number of times hi-fi is used in a post*

    I've got BOSE in the house and in the car.

    Bought a BOSE docking station for the XiFi MP3. Sounds class for a wee thing.

    Home alone? Mrs & kids away for 10 days?

    I suggest you stock up on the kleenex, some lube, decent hardcore pornography and then indulge yourself in a week long turbo-pokey-bum-****fest.
