I wonder if all you hear is the sound of a vacuum cleaner up close?

I think perhaps the Dysons have arrived a couple of days ahead of schedule. Naomi Wu does a whole thread about them on Twitter, which I urge you to read. She calls them "Air-Purifying Headphones” aka. the Snot Cannon aka. the Wearable SuperSpreader Event  Dyson does a nice line in urinals too, err, no, sorry, they're hand driers.  Derek Beavis, 78, was horrified when he used the public convenience off Hamilton Road in Felixstowe because it covered him with his own pee. The retired teacher, pictured above with the offending item, said: “ I saw this newfangled urinal attached to the wall. It was an odd shape but I put that down to everything having to look cool these days. And to be honest, I was a bit desperate, so I didn’t look too closely. “ When I began to relieve myself it made a noise like a jet engine and then all this air came out with such force that it sprayed me all over with my own pee. “ It covered my coat, my trousers and even went all over my face. Trouble is, once I start I can’t stop, so I had to stand there until I had finished. “ Luckily it was raining outside, so nobody noticed that I was soaking wet as I made my way back home. I got some odd looks on the bus, though, and nobody seemed to want to sit next to me.” Mr Beavis said he complained to Suffolk Coastal District Council, but was told the urinal was not faulty but was in fact a high-speed Airblade hand Dyson dryer. It should be said, Mr Beavis is not alone in mistaking them for urinals, I've heard about it happening in Scotland, and at an airport somewhere, the location of which escapes me now. And there's this... |

If you like a modern take on a retro Japanese battleship amp, this HiFi Rose RA180 is a bit of a looker.
Some lovely switches and check out the volume control -

If matching components were available and you fitted out your listening room like Captain Nemo's cabin on the Nautilus, that would work well!

Wow.
Simaudio have managed to make a minute long 'lifestyle' commercial for their first ever loudspeaker, the new Moon Voice 22, without managing to tell us *anything* interesting about the speaker at all.
Top work guys!

It looks to me like the majority of the people in the video are either laughing at it or taking the piss out of it. Of course, that might just be my interpretation, because as you say, Jules, it's not like they give us any pointers, and left to my own devices I do tend towards the cynical. |

It's difficult not to be cynical about this film Paul!
We're meant to think the punters are having a great time listening to the speakers.
The amount of "appreciative nodding" in one section is very silly - how that wasn't spotted and edited better is anyone's guess.

If I was still 16 I would have been all over this new 'Metallica' deck from Pro-Ject.

It should appeal to its design audience!
