In fact, the tour has never been pure. A brief look at its history shows doping and cheating are not a recent problem. Skulduggery of all kinds has been endemic in its 104-year history.

In a word “Amazing”. There’s no other way of describing these Denon
earphones. They produce wonderful sound, are built to last and look
pretty cool too.
Newsmonster tested these earphones over a couple of months so that we
could pick up on those niggling little faults that only show up after a
lot of heavy use. These earphones are one of the few things we’ve
tested which didn’t seem to have any faults at all. We dropped them too
often, trod on them and used them in the pouring rain. Nothing seemed
to phaze ‘em. They’re as tough as old boots (probably because they’re
made of chunks of machined aluminium) and sound wonderful too.
