I could smell it a mile away! 🙂

Not even bothering to click - guessing it's Cologne?

What a shame - I missed it! 🙂

Nah - you need a second one! 🙂

A bigger cab?

Apologies - I previously conflated them as "remasters/remixes", but missed the 2nd part in my statement. 🙂 But yes, it would take a remix to, as you say. I think remasters give an opportunity to use better equipment to create the final product, maybe with less effects & adjustments in the (ahem) mix to get in the way of what comes out of the speakers. I've also picked up a few HD-audio tracks; they can be a (ahem) mixed bag too. FYI, I'm just in the process of auditioning a cable to connect my pre-amp to my power-amp; it's quite interesting. I'm not sure at what point someone changes from being an audiophile to being an audiophool, but if you can hear it then it doesn't matter whether someone else can't (or won't). (I'm a member of the Steve Hoffman forums.)

I do wish the Black Sabbath remasters had taken Ozzy a bit back in the mix and brought Bill Ward up a bit; all the recordings I've heard have the mix a bit wrong.

Well, some bands first/earlier recordings are their best, before the "engineers" and "producers" started dicking around. Led Zep 1, Black Sabbath 1, Deep Purple (3rd).

I've got some good remasters & remixes and some not so good. The Beatles Giles Martin ones are really good (though you can tell that Macca was involved and Ringo wasn't!). Steve Wilson does some good stuff, but sometimes he's hampered by whether the originals are available to work from (a couple of albums are missing bits). Rush ones can be variable - one of the albums was deliberately recorded to sound good on cheap radios and the information simply isn't there to get back. I think some of the remixes/remasters were done by people who've lost the upper ranges of their hearing, because they can be like sandpaper on the ears. It's all very much a mixed bag.

I thought they were moving the manufacturing?

I've come to the conclusion that eBay don't give a monkeys about counterfeits and, after arguing with them, being told by their "AI" that there's nothing wrong with obvious fakes, escalating, speaking to people, and so-on, I've lost faith in their service. The fact that they then started adding on a "buyer assurance" (or whatever they call their buyers fees) premium gives me no confidence that an issue with an item would be successfully resolved; either (a) their conclusions would be via the same system as their handling of counterfeit reports and yield the same results, or (b) they've downgraded that to deliberately create a premium "service". I've pretty much stopped using eBay.

I've got a 4-door saloon (the back seats fold down, so I can fit quite a lot in there), a toy car (2 seater with enough space for an overnight bag but that's about it), and tend to have scruffy cheapo (a spare if needed, for jobs to the tip, etc.).

Why have only one car?
