Not sure, but I am watching the football upside down.
On the basis you can't ski uphill, I'd sooner have the highest quality possible rather than the squished MP3 style mush.

PHWOARR!
I'm not a plumber, but I know a nice tool when I see one
I fitted this ( and did the plumbing) and wept, when it wept . . . Fortunately I had just been a bit a scaredy cat and the olives needed more of a pinch. (Phew) View attachment 147304
Only 15mm sticking out after tiling, as calculated . . . Squeaky aint the word

Bought a new house last month. Don't think I'll top it this year, or ever actually.

I have a turntable too; a half-decent one and I was ready to start buying vinyl again but the Naim streams Qobuz/Tidal over CD quality without much fuss. I played Moderat on vinyl (good MM cartridge) and then on Qobuz at higher resolution and the difference is quite profound. Qobuz has some warmth and is significantly better than Spotify (I have both atm as a phone contract legacy). Highly recommend Qobuz. Currently playing via Naim app on my phone but purists will tell you to download lossless files onto a drive and then run them through.
The turntable is wired via a phono amp into the Naim. Naim says 80 watts but that is constant. It is much more powerful. I also bought new speakers and tried them out with my old Arcam pre and power amp before wiring the Naim and the amps struggled - can’t remember combined wattage but much higher listed. The Naim isn’t struggling.
You can get into ridiculous upgrade territory. Don’t. If you want good reviews, read Stereophile.

So a couple of things.
CD quality is 44.1kHz and your ears will apparently struggle beyond that. Qobuz (and I am not a salesman) goes to 192kHz. It’s not pure lossless but it is very intricate. I think beyond that you’re in swinging d### territory.

That was last year. Super Tuff Burner Mk1. Very nice original condition Stat Bro! Might be willing to sell as with the kids growing older they need more space.

Kindle.
I've read about 7 books this year on it. Currently reading Jimmy White Second Wind (99p). I bloody LOVE browsing cheap books, which I can then view instantly, and on a splendid matt screen in the sunshine, no reflections, its like a paper page. And I can read it in darkness in bed at night. In daytime, that little slut slips neatly in my pocket for when I slope off out for a read and a pint. Love it.
I'm a late convert, as I STILL love a paperback (and newspaper) in my hands. But the Kindle has surpassed my expectations.

It's relatively simple to prove that the 44.1kHz sampling rate for CD gives sufficient headroom to cover the entire 20-20kHz spectrum of human hearing, so anything greater than this is absolutely unnecessary - the only reason 48kHz is used for professional work is(was) to make it easier to downsample to other commonly used rates - 8kHz, 16kHz, etc.
192kHz is magic beans. Unless of course you've also purchased my hyper-premium diamond weave unicorn hair interconnects, when all will sonically be revealed...
Interesting . . . I'll look up Qobuz. I have arcam pre/power . . .rega P3 and PMC twenty5-21 noise boxes. . . . my biggest issue is lots of old vinyl isn't available any other way, the list is getting shorter though.
volume is never a problem, most power ratings are double what anyone usually listens at. IF I want agricutural racket I have a PA system in the man cave for a band!
Are they an upgrade on my old Queen mother pube with Churchill-tooth plug interconnects?

Of course! They're literally SEVERAL YEARS better.
