New Hifi

[JoJoGabor]

I'm working from home and my hifi I've had for 14 years has just packed in. Just having a quick search on the internet it struck me that I have no idea of what features I could consider besides the usual radio/CD player combo. I like the idea of DAB radio. What other funky new technology is available nowadays?

God I sound like my mum.

The latest is an orgasmatron hi-fi.
Also comes with radio and cd.

I am looking to buy a sonos system soon.

Multi room wireless thingy, takes radio and music from your PC.

Time to invest in some wireless home media kit. AirTunes, Sonos etc. etc.

You can't beat old technology.

I've got one of these, it's great. Good for technophobes too as the controller is no more complicated than using an iPod.

Wide range of internet radio, Pandora, and such like. If you have an iPhone there's an app for controlling the Sonos too, as well as the PC software.

Hey I'm not a technophobe, I've been coding Cobol for 30 years!

It was more Mrs Chug I was referring to!

Most blokes have to "convince" their other halves of the relative merits of the latest spangly electronic purchase. Anyone can use a Sonos, the Mrs thinks it's great.
