Just got the new edition of the mag through my door and started reading it. Got to the speaker group test and looked at the now add these box. Don't think the sound quality of the speakers is going to be very good with that speaker cable, looks suspiciously like a HDMI cable to me!!

OK, you got us, fair cop. As Ms Editor-in-Chief Newsome is currently in Las Vegas, I'll cut out tea and biscuits for the production dept for the rest of this week... still, hardly the worst crime against humanity!

Is it that time of the month again. How exciting...my missus will be chuffed for the next couple of days as I become a magazine worm again.

Re: Another What hifi magazine blooper??

Just got mine yesterday. I thought it was a nice balanced (between hifi and HC) issue.

Talking of the speaker test, the recommended components Apollo/Kandy/SCM11 - has anyone found a hifi shop in the north of england that sells all 3??

Only you can come up with that Mr. E...

I am not old enough to remember the ViVa HB Smile Was that the motor you used in 1964?

Is Andrew secretly involved with What Car?

They must be having a bad month, Claire goes away and they lose the ability to publish the magazine! Speaker cables that look like HDMI leads,
Denon DVD-1940's costing £2000,

Whatever next ? A Linn amp only getting three stars?

Hmmmm, Andy seems to be displaying his usual attitude to the accuracy of the content of the magazine!!!

Perhaps we should start a thread to list all the typos, errors and bloopers in each issue? Wink
