I'm facing the same problem. The PS3 does make a very good case for itself. Blu Ray movies look fantastic on it. Only when you compare it to stand alone player do you see that you are not getting as much detail as you should. I was thinking of getting an S760 for Blu Rays. A Marantz CD6003...

Andrew Everard:Yes, I think the Marantz will be more than good enough Thanks for taking the time to answer!

Andrew Everard: Whether you buy a DAC for your laptop or a CD player is really a matter of personal preference, but if you take the former route I'd definitely rip the music to hard disc and play from that, rather than direct from the computer's CD/DVD drive. But whichever route you take, try...

Anybody?

Hi, My 11 year old Marantz CD player can't play tracks anymore. I might still get it fixed cheaply later on, but am thinking of buying a new player. I hear good things about the Marantz CD6003, which I can buy in my country at 190 GBP. The problem is that I have a Denon AVR 2310, which would...

I have downloaded several albums which are compressed in 320kbps and compared them to either a FLAC version or the CD version and am quite astonished that there is such a difference in quality. Having been happy with 160kbs compression on my iTunes for a long time, i recently started to rip at...

Boah.... How sexy are those speakers?!?! Best speakers I've heard till date still remain the B&W 803s. Even if I "just" get the booshelf speakers, I'm sure they will sound insanely good.

Like I satated onthe other thread. i work for an electronics company. Through staff purchase I bought 2x 10m HDMI @11 USD each. The cable works perfectly with no perceivable difference when compared to known brands.

I would just like to share my experience playing with my set up last night. After listening to music on my newish Denon AVR-2310 in surround for the past week or so, I decided to start listening to the pure direct mode. As much fun as listening to music in surround is, I notice the difference...

Hello what hi-fi staff, I would be much obliged, if you could let me know, which retailer you got the av rack in this video from: http://www.youtube.com/user/WhathifiTv#p/u/42/1rCma1yvpF4 It's a what hi-fi video on how to get the most out of your hifi. This might sound silly, but it's...

Hi, I realized I indicated the wrong model. It's a 67 Mk II SE. I've submitted it for cost quote. I'm hoping it won't cost much to repair and that it will come in handy in future. By good, I mean that it was very enjoyable to listen to and I couldn't really fault it for the price. It's not...

jase fox:activebass: New question: but when I use my analogue Ixos interconnects to connect my Sony MD player to my amp, it just sounds better. I agree activebass, i find when i use my IXOS analogues with my CDP it sounds laods better than with a digital connection, however it all depends...

New question: I thought I should resurrect this thread before starting a new one. If you're using a digital source like a CD player or MD player (yes, you read correctly) is it better to use a digital or analogue interconnects? This may sound funny, but you would think that optical digital...

Hi, I've just moved into a new apartment and recently set up part of my home theatre setup. Now my Marantz 67 Mk II SE CD player won't open the tray, so I've had to listen to CDs through an Acer laptop (with HDMI connection). Anyway, is it worth repairing my Marantz? I do love the sound. Or...

Hi! thank you both for the good and practical advise. I'll giving the spikes a go using the coins and felt suggestions. Cheers!
