Get yourself the new Sonos One and subscribe to Amazon Music Unlimited, no need to fart about in shops anymore.

I got the large Alexa ,and whilst it’s sound is quite good and there’s a decent selection , it can be irratating if it doesn’t respond to your commands or can randomly say things normally at night

Try using a Yank Alexa with a Mancunian accent... I might as well have a f*ck*ng wind-up gramophone.

Anything from Bang and Olufsen but be prepared to pay

Wouldn't have anything listening in my house lol I have all microphones turned off on all devices including my daughter's, unless they're needed.

Although saying that, my mate had one in alicante and that bitch is a lot of fun when you're pissed up

Understood. I've got Marantz stuff at the minute but deciding whether to go a different route.

My inlaws have one. Enough said. It was funny for about 3 minutes then just annoying. I still can't go through a drive-thru here as I never get what I order!

Will I be able to play my vinyl on it?

Yes if you get a compatible turntable. ...I think.

It's hilarious when someone (my mates grumpy as fuuck Scottish wife) is trying to get it to play a song and I'm talking over her

"Did you ask for sex sounds"

I drew the line when the inlaws were getting me to use it for their entertainment. It was like that sketch a while back with the Scots lads in the voice-activated lift!

Very funny sketch that is

I was asking Alexa for all sorts. Had me in stitches when it replied on full volume "I'm sorry I don't know bollock cheese" infront of my mates kids, wife and parents

I let a couple of b*ll*cks, bellends, and w*nk*rs slip but you've got to know your audience! Wifey had a face like a smacked arse but to the 70-year-old mormons from the desert, they were oblivious! Not that American Alexa knew what a purple bellend was anyway...

Anything from Pink Triangle if you can find any, was rare audio in it's day, but there is some out there.
