If you have more time on your hands during this unprecedented time in lockdown at home, here are some music, film and TV related ideas to help keep you entertained:
Netflix
A widely known video streaming service. If you’re watching your pennies, then you may wish to share the cost with friends and family. By subscribing to the Netflix Family Package you’ll be able to watch on 4 screens at once for just £11.99 a month. Take a look.
Tidal Music Streaming Service
Tidal is widely regarded to be the best value service for music lovers, balancing sound quality and choice of music available from their online music streaming service. Tidal also provide a family plan for up to 5 users for £29.99.
BritBox
BritBox claims to offer the biggest selection of British dramas, comedies, film and documentaries from the BBC & ITV. The first 30 days are free with a monthly fee of £5.99 per month thereafter. Take a look.
YouTube
If you like the idea of watching your favourite bands perform or want to discover new music, then there are a variety of streaming channels available on YouTube. We frequently enjoy content from the following channels:
KEXP
1071ThePeak
NPR Music
Music on The Go
If you intend to keep yourself fit during the coming weeks of isolation and find yourself outdoors, then you may wish to access streaming services on your mobile device. If your mobile data package provides you with limited data, then check out the TP-LINK M7350 Mobile Wi-Fi dongle; you’ll need to purchase a Data SIM card (such as a 24GB card from Three). There’s an upfront cost of £60 for the data, with no monthly charge, and is valid for 2 years, giving you a lot of data to enjoy whilst out walking the dog, jogging or even cycling like our Simon!
Headphones
If you find yourself in need of a pair of headphones for when you are venturing out and about, or a pair of closed-back headphones to minimise upsetting the family, then check out the fantastic selection we have available on our website. Take a look.
Cleaning your Vinyl
Why not make good use of time and give your cherished vinyl collection a clean? We have a varied selection of cleaning solutions available, from the Knosti Disco Antistat manual cleaning system to the Clearaudio Double Matrix automatic cleaning system, an engineering masterpiece. Also, it’s all well and good cleaning the surface of your records, however some of the dirt will remain on the inner record sleeve and therefore sat ready and waiting to make contact with the record surface. We recommend purchasing a quantity of Nagaoka Anti-Static Record Sleeves to help maintain a clean playing surface.
Innuos Music Servers
With spring now upon us, why not clear your lounge of your prized CD collection and replace it with an Innuos Music Server? Throughout the past few years, we have seen CD Player sales plummet and replaced by significant interest for Innuos Music Servers. Whether you have a budget or a high-end system, Innuos have a model to suit. We have a comprehensive range of Innuos products at our showroom for you to experience; take a look.
Working from Home?
Enhance your workspace and wellbeing with the addition of a pair of KEF LSX desktop loudspeakers. The LSX provide Bluetooth and connectivity to your home broadband to access to Spotify Connect and Tidal music streaming services. In addition, there is an analogue input connection and the option to stream from the cloud, or directly from a NAS drive or a computer through DLNA fully wirelessly at 48kHz/24bit resolution (or 96kHz/24bit using optional wired connection).
We are here to help – or if you fancy a chat – whether that is audio-visual-related or to catch up and feel connected. Just let us know or give us a ring on 01622 676703.
