Editorials

Rayner Feeling Aged…

You know as a reviewer, one thing I really care about is the truth. Ian Drury once said that if a movie director broke his leg while making a film, The editor would never let that get into the final cut. Likewise, just because I am past 50, Does not mean that you carry the same biases as my grumpy old self. So a review of a mono loudspeaker, in this case was best done with some help from people a little more up to speed with modern use of tech.

I can tell you that the PURE DiscovR has awesome build quality and tremendous sound output purity but literally I was compelled to admit that when it came to varying accounts of online music supply and also perhaps keeping track of multiple offspring using Amazon Alexa, I simply was not up to speed. So, I had help for the full review here. https://www.adamrayner.net/pure-discovr-smart-speaker/

In any case my friend is a hard-working nurse and was delighted to get the DiscovR to enhance their already well Alexa-controlled world. Sometimes being an ‘expert’ just means knowing the right people who actually are and being able to translate.
This time, that’d be me… gosh I feel venerable!

By now, most thine Yuletide preparations will be under way. I wish thee a restful and loved up Christmas and do take care out there driving and avoid the old BOOMPH tinkle… (added mostly for Mr. George Williams, who always enjoyed that sign off.. for 25 years!)
