VAT Reduction – Complete waste of time?
The 2% ish reduction isn’t enough to bring prices down to the next optical price so what has happened? Some retailers still price in store at the ‘old’ price and take the hit at the till. Good for them – I guess the loss of sales for not being quite as obviously competitive is cheaper than the cost of the many thousands of new price signs that they would need to print.

Chord Signature AES/EBU Digital Cable
Chord has spent many months experimenting, with what has often been a frustratingly difficult connection, and believes that the new Chord Signature AES/EBU is the right answer.
One of the real challenges with the AES/EBU connection is that audiophiles have often found that, despite the technical advantages that the AES/EBU connection offers, a high quality S/PDIF connection will produce the better quality sound.
