Where are signatures visible?

Signatures are visible if you have the option ticked in your account preferences under Content options.

I can't find account preferences either.

Its in my signature. A Yamaha A-S 2200.

I have looked it up, and quite like the look of the Silver version.

Is this in a PC browser or mobile?

As @Achim1811 said, but here’s a screenshot from my phone browser.

Mine is the black one, for reasons (from my wife)

My Rotel was Silver, although I can’t remember whether they did a Black version.

It is fairly similar in PC or Phone browsers.

 

[slartibartfast]

in iOS and in Android

Hmm, it is ticked but it seems signatures don't show up in the mobile version of the forum.

Everything seemed to be silver in the 70s, then it all changed

For both mobile versions I can see the signatures, if there is one. Strange.

I can confirm that signatures don’t show up when I view the forum website in portrait mode, but they do show up when viewed in landscape mode on my phone.

See if that works for you.

I reckon that's it. I can see it in landscape mode. Maybe it gets hidden depending on screen size.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

Very, very strange. In landscape AND in portrait mode on both my iPad and my Samsung phone the signature are visible.

My iPad shows signatures in both modes, and so does my iPhone, but only if I reduce the text size to 85%, which is too small to read.

Nope my Cambridge P110 amp and matching T55 tuner were black. (silver was an option iirc). Bought 1974.

I didn't even know Cambridge existed in the 70s. There were lots of manufacturers around Cambridge but I thought they were much later

This is what the off topic /music sections should be about!

Aware this is not hifi but I like to bring the 90s vibe. Had something like this as a kid: a 5cd Panasonic/casette/radio tuner. One each for me and my brothers. Saved up on birthday/Christmas money etc..



Few years later I managed to get what I remember as some old/retro Pioneer bookshelf speakers and some Yamaha amp + receiver (don't ask me for models and unfortunately my parents got rid of it after I moved out). Had that as near field setup on my study desk connected to my pc (iTunes) blasting metal from 1 meter away... I carried that setup from home to student home most weekends..

When moving out we opted for a Sonos One stereo pair which actually is still serving us well enough. The kids are at the stage where they can launch their music by asking "Hey Google" but don't have a screen at hand. Still perfect for family usage but want more for critical listening...

Maybe something with a WiiM if they can get decent Plexamp endpoint Although with a fresh puppy in the house it might not make sense yet to introduce new speakers and an extra set of cables... Probably will expand first into headphone territory..

Try landscape mode, it doesn't show in (normal) portrait mode on mobile

Nixe!

I once bought a Thorens TD 145 mk2 but never got truly into vinyl. Sold it recently. Cost factor of buying vinyl was mostly the issue at that time as a student.

With the ease of digital and "plex streaming" happy to have sticked with CD in the end...
