Everybody loves a good turn on: Website reviews how your knob feels
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Everyone loves a knob, right? Especially the feel. So the website knobfeel.co.uk, the only one promising “reviews based purely on the feel of a knob”, must be racking up quite a number of hits. Started anonymously this year, our intrepid knob-feeler likes to try out various knobs on stereos (yes, stereos; what did you think I was talking about?) and report back on their smoothness, sensation and texture.
So the Sony STR-DH820 is derided for its “cheap slippy plastic knob”; the Cambridge Audio 651R receives praise for its “nice dampened axial skew, and lovely weight behind the rotation”. But the top review so far has gone to Rega Osiris Reference Amplifier, which had “such a smooth rotation I could barely contain myself”. But while we thinks it a very informative website, we appreciate Knobfeel might be misleading some web browsers out there.
