http://www.dared.com.hk/index.php?route=product/product&path=92&product_id=168 Bought this as a band-aid to get me through as I needed a pre-amp to get my Quad 909 and Dynaudio X-12's going again. Cost me about 290 pound and about the size of 3-4 DVD cases stacked up, seems well built and is...

I have a Leema Pulse that I bought at the recommendation of PP and ran with a pair of Dynaudio Excite X-12's and loved the sound. Due to wanting to play music loud for long periods I felt I needed more power and got my hands on a second hand QUAD 909 and use the Pulse as a pre-amp. If I could...

Hey splasher, Thanks for that I guess those are all decent considerations, a couple of things I have read is the difference is more noticable in higher quality recordings as well. Unfortunately cannot test where I live. The Cyrus XA is listed around the same price in the UK but is actually...

I see the CXN has just won the best streamer. My Quad 909 is on its way back from interstate after being serviced/upgraded by dada electronics. I have no pre-amp at the moment and was heavily thinking about buying the 851N but it doesn't seem to get a lot of love and there is not that much...

Thanks, I would love to be able to go and try them out but it is 3000km's to the nearest capital city where I live! After looking around a bit more on the net and in the same price bracket as the 851N is the unitiqute 2? Maybe thats what I should be comparing? I know the uniqute 2 has the amp...

What do you think? Used as a pre amp and streamer into a Quad 909 and currently a pair of Dynaudio X-12? Would the Naim be too smooth or warm in this set up? Would I be better going for the maybe drier, brighter detailed 851N? I mean I only ask because when I showed the missus tonight she...

Thanks mate. I appreciate it.

Hi All, Being in a remote part of Australia with no hi-fi dealers. I am about to buy a Cambridge Audio 851N or CXN and it states it is a digital pre-amp. What I am concerned about is where do I connect it to my QUAD 909? Just through the analogue outs? I don't beleive there are any other...

So I have sent the QUAD 909 off to Melbourne for a overhaul. I have decided on the Cambridge Audio CXN streamer. I have one last upgrade that is going to cost me the most money. Replacement speakers for my Dynaudio X-12's. My wife and I listen to wide range of music but top 40, R&B, balads...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there has compared the two purely based on musical audio performance? Unsure if it is worth the extra for the bluray performance or to have a separate bluray player? Thanks, Darryn

Hi again, As part of upgrading my system, currently using my Leema pulse as the pre-amp (I know) to my QUAD 909. To use the Leema in a second system (or sell) can I use one of these new Cambridge Streamers or something of the like as a pre-amp as it would kill two birds with one stone? Thanks DJ

Been a while! Looking at upgrading my Dynaudio Excite X-12's. Can my QUAD happily run the likes of Dynaudio Contour 1.4's or PMC Twenty .22's I have a B&W PV1d I would pair with either if needed or would I be better off moving back to the Dynaudio Focus 260 or PMC Twenty .23's and get rid of...

The Remote Was 20 Pounds. He Said The Usual Courier Company They Use quoted 80 Pound Delivery! So He Put It In A Padded Envelope Which Cost 3.50. i Was Fine With The Cost, Having No Remote Is An Inconvenience.

Having moved home 3 times in a year managed to lose my Leema Pulse remote control (it is kinda tiny). Now settled in a new place I contacted Leema Accoustics via email (I'm in Australia). Quickly I received a response, recieved a quote and account details from Harry. Due to the office closing...

The Quad 909 in is storage at the moment due to a marital break up. I have gone from living in an apartment that was as big as a house where the Leema would run out of gas at the levels I was listening to (which to be fair was loud!) :rockout: , to a 1 bedroom apartment where I don't need to...
