With all I watch on TH-cam. This is the one show I look forward to. I pour myself a little something, sit down, make myself comfortable and enjoy all you have to offer. Thank you and Happy New Year.
I thank you for being here in 2024! I look forward to your reviews & the banter that arrives with them. Wonderful work, and I wish you both the best , even beyond 2024!
This Yank still has his Radio Shack SPL meter, a Nakamichi cassette deck, and Sony Walkman professional, so as we welcome a new year, some of us enjoy “living in the past” reviewing ancient tech. Thank you & happy new year!
Happy New Year! I hope 2024 is filled with lots of new videos from you and that you never change a thing! Love from the Colonies I mean States! States!
Hi Jordan - thanks for your kind words across the Pond. Despite the rather abrupt divorce all those years ago, you've done surprisingly well without us! 😎
You touched on HiFi magazines in this. Would be interesting to do a Riff on the demise of HiFi World maybe and what it’s like working behind the scenes. Probably a silly idea but could be interesting? HNY🎉
I'm so grateful for your channel! Thank you for being yourselves and sharing your memories, thoughts and (most importantly) your joy with us. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year chaps! You talk about everything we love and I can relate to so many things here. I was the only one in Marlborough to have a Nakamichi CD player in my Nova SR in the very early 90's after moving on from my old Yamaha fizzy! Look forward to seeing the channel grow in 2024 as it's the best hifi channel on youtube!
Hi guys, and a happy new year! I love the shows and your 'so loose its barely connected' style, please just be you 😊. If you want to improve it, a few pictures inserted during the show can help, and many of your shows already have this. Looking foward to more riffs throughout this new year.
Fantastic stuff. Loved top trumps. Super cars - if it was the same pack as mine, the 'pinininfarina modulo' was my favourite... Max speed 360 kmh and looked like a lowered Countach, fabulous! Happy New Year!
That was a very nice Aiwa, one of the first cassette decks I had was the JVC KD-720 with analogue VU's which was also a model that was a similar to the Aiwa.
Happy New Year both. My Dad had one of those Aiwa tape decks; he was burgled and they took it, leaving his Naim Pre/power and the LP12 untouched. Burglars with a sense of style!!
A jam on those two lovely guitars would have been nice. I'm guessing they are not just set decoration? Happy New Year back atcha “Live Long and Prosper"🖖
Good Rift, good title. Puts me in mind of going to a BMC/BLMC event at the BMIHT at Gaydon in the early years of this century. Stayed in a hotel which, rather poncily, named its more upmarket rooms after Shakespeare plays. One of the other attendees managed to bag "Much ado about nothing", and imagined that it was a brilliant homage to Austin (or occasionally "Amalgamated") Drawing Office project codes.
Thanks Robert. I am sad enough to know those Austin Drawing Office codes too, I'm afraid. Don't get me started on the SD1, SD2, etc., Specialist Division stuff...
Happy new year! I’m a fan of the channel. Though I think it’s fairly obvious that you shot this episode on the same day with the Christmas episode. Changing shirts in between could sell it better😀. Or I could be wrong. Cheers!
Good grief. The first day of the year and you've set the bar so high that I fear you might not surpass that in 2024. I had the other, pictured, Casio calculator. It played tones as well. It was so ####ing annoying!
Yes, all downhill from here I'm afraid! Our pal Pete had the calculator watch with the space invaders game on it... we were both insanely jealous! Mike
This channel is pointless!! Their reviews are not expertly detailed, but rather, rely on a subjective score out of 10.. I can do that!! But more importantly, they don’t reply to viewer comments - RUDE !!!
If you take the piss you'll get a reply. This is pub chat about things we can't afford anymore due to our kids in higher education. Chill out and happy new year!
If they were doing "detailed reviews" it would be boring. Many of us, if not most, are here for the chat and banter as much as for comments on the equipment. Keep doing what you are doing guys. Happy New Year.
Hi Dean, you may be right, but perhaps not in the way you mean. We just wanted to make a hi-fi TH-cam show that we ourselves would like to watch - one that doesn't take itself too seriously, and needs little if any preparation, as we're both busy boys. As they say, 'other channels are available', if you don't like us. We love answering comments, but again we can only do it sporadically due to lack of time. Our next Riff actually focuses on the past year's comments, by the way. Happy to answer any serious questions you may have about hi-fi, fire away!

HNY to you both. This is hands down the best hifi chanel on youtube. The Top Gear of hifi. Looking forward to more much needed irreverance in 2024.
You're so kind. 'Top Gear' on one millionth of the budget!
All the best to you two in 2024
Regards from Denmark
Thanks, and brace yourself for a classic Bang & Olufsen review!
@@MrVinylista 🙂
We are all very proud of B&O (specially back in time)
The best HiFi channel on TH-cam by far. Someone else commented that it was “pointless”, and thank god for that. Points are so overrated. ✌️
... especially ours! 🤣
Mike
With all I watch on TH-cam. This is the one show I look forward to.
I pour myself a little something, sit down, make myself comfortable and enjoy all you have to offer.
Thank you and Happy New Year.
"Little something" - a pint of gin?
@@MrVinylista Shhhh !!
We pour ourselves a little something, sit down and talk crap!
Mike 🤣
Cheers, guys, all the best!
I thank you for being here in 2024! I look forward to your reviews & the banter that arrives with them. Wonderful work, and I wish you both the best , even beyond 2024!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Happy New year!
Happy new year! This episode was just brilliant entertainment. I’ve been grinning and laughing throughout. Please ignore all criticism. All the best!
Don't worry about the criticisms, your channel is completely unique, AND informative, Carry on regardless and Happy New Year!
That last item, the Aiwa cassette deck 👀 as you say, if only today's gear could look that exciting. Happy New Year 🍻
"Where are you all coming from?
We're from Dartmoore on the run" 😂
A tangible improvement!
Mike
One of my favourite channels on TH-cam!
How is it that you dont have 500k subs is beyond me :) Hands down one of the best channels on hi fi. How sad is that for our hobby 😂
That we have more than 5 subs is beyond us!
Mike 🤣
Brilliant
I love it , there’s nothing like it on you tube
Thank the heavens! 🤣
Mike
Happy 2024….”Just look at those chromed Allen bolts”
Absolute classic Mike!
HNY both!
Rod Stewart Faces and early solo good. Look at the value of 1st presses. MOR later bargain bins. Happy New Year Riffos
This Yank still has his Radio Shack SPL meter, a Nakamichi cassette deck, and Sony Walkman professional, so as we welcome a new year, some of us enjoy “living in the past” reviewing ancient tech. Thank you & happy new year!
Well done sir. I have all three too - so we are true hi-fi aristocracy! Mike only has two out of the three, by the way...
Happy New Year! I hope 2024 is filled with lots of new videos from you and that you never change a thing!
Love from the Colonies I mean States! States!

HNY🎉
Indeed... David has some cracking tales!
Mike
I'm another fan who'd love to learn more about the sad demise of Hi-Fi World.
I'm so grateful for your channel! Thank you for being yourselves and sharing your memories, thoughts and (most importantly) your joy with us. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year chaps! You talk about everything we love and I can relate to so many things here. I was the only one in Marlborough to have a Nakamichi CD player in my Nova SR in the very early 90's after moving on from my old Yamaha fizzy!

I would have been your arch rival on my AP50!
Mike
Ha ha- we definitely would have been arch rivals if you had an AP!!@@Hi-FiRiff
Long May you two continue, love the vibe, Happy New Year. Cheers Chaps.

Happy Christmas and have a great 2024....lots of new stuff coming for your delictation.....kevin
Absolutely brilliant. 👍❤️
Happy New year Kevin and looking forward to buying you a beer at one of the shows this year.
Best wishes
Mike

Ooh... I may be controversial here, but wasn't the Modulo in the "prototypes" deck?
Mike
@@Hi-FiRiff yes that's right, brilliant!
That was a very nice Aiwa, one of the first cassette decks I had was the JVC KD-720 with analogue VU's which was also a model that was a similar to the Aiwa.
Thanks both for such a great channel! Happy New Year to you both too from all of us!
Happy New Year both.
My Dad had one of those Aiwa tape decks; he was burgled and they took it, leaving his Naim Pre/power and the LP12 untouched. Burglars with a sense of style!!
Not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Happy new year Dave and mike
Great stuff tks
A jam on those two lovely guitars would have been nice. I'm guessing they are not just set decoration?
Happy New Year back atcha “Live Long and Prosper"🖖
Would love to, but David won't be let me... to be fair he's suffered enough with my playing!
Mike
An 89 th minute goal from Aiwa
We saved the best till last. 🙂
Happy new year both, always love the videos.
Happy New Year Mike & David! 🎶🎉🍾🥃🥂

We're just smelly! 🤣
Great show as always, thanks chaps. Speaking of Casio, does anyone remember the VL-Tone? Peachy little mono-synth cum calculator. Still have mine.
I was a texas instrument poser and Doc Martins (8 Hole)
Then we must start a secret society. Mike and I both had TI30s and DMs, at one point!
@@MrVinylista and mini solar panels were quite nice
Ox blood or black?
Mike
Any consideration being given to a lava lamp? Obligatory…,elsewhere.
Brilliant idea!
Mike
