    B&W are over rated and very expensive for what they are. Check out the AKG K371. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/akg-k371-review-closed-back-headphone.19657/ For the princely sum of $229 from Amazon. https://amzn.asia/d/ayiOuaR Sent from my motorola edge 30 pro...

    You can get studio active subs with line level passthrough. Look at: -Presonus Sub 8BT: variable LPF & fixed 80Hz HPF -ESI Aktiv 10S: variable LPF & fixed 100Hz HPF -KRK S8.4: selectable Xo (LPF&HPF) 70/80/90/100H Sent from my motorola edge 30 pro using Tapatalk

    The HiFi thread

    Here are some of my recent pickups for the new house, all of which I picked up second hand. Given that I can't even imagine how you could improve on the Polk Legend/McIntosh THX setup, I can't understand why people are letting this stuff go. I've also picked up the top of the range Yamaha AV...

    I'm doing 1.49s around Eastern Creek in the GTR now. Only M2 Comps can touch that. There's a Nismo GTR that did a 1.41, that's what I'm aiming for when all the turbos and new diffs have been fitted. For context, there's a BRZ that has done a 1.46. The BRM is good for 1.29s maybe even...

    Have you blown up your BMW at the track and had it covered? I've seen people who have blown theirs up and it's not covered. The E46 and E90 are famous for their water pump failures. I've personally seen a pump failure on track lead to a cracked block by the time the car made it back to the...

    Except if you track a BMW M Motorsport car where plastic impellers have been known to explode and the warranty won't cover you for track use. Audi, VW and non GT Porsches are also track shy. AMG, Porsche Motorsport (GT cars) and Maclaren cover you for non-competitive track use. Not sure about...

    That's pretty scary. How much of that is due to having a cast impeller vs a forged/stamped one. Sent from my motorola edge 30 pro using Tapatalk

    This! It just annoys the crap out of me that BMW et al make such great engines then surround them with crappy ancillaries. The water pumps are one thing but then you get the awful brakes in S series Audi's, the shitty AMG suspension etc etc etc. Sent from my motorola edge 30 pro using Tapatalk

    I had a VL with a RB26DE head on it. 8500rpm was fun with a crappy live axle. It was easily better than my mum's VS Berlina. Sent from my motorola edge 30 pro using Tapatalk

    They have a funny habit of disintegrating with age and rpm. It's apparently the biggest source of BMW engine failures, especially in the M cars. The aftermarket units are made of metal and cost less than OEM. A lot of the other ancillaries are expensive crappy plastic as well. Sometimes...
