    Turntable options for Sonos Five

    Thanks for your replies, my original thought was towards the Project, but then you start looking further and make life more complicated. Also, I do like the look of the Walnut finish ;) I guess by "substantial" I mean at least a reasonable improvement in quality that would be noticeable. Do...

    Turntable options for Sonos Five

    Hi I currently have a Teac TN-100 connected to a Sonos Five, I am considering either the Project T1 Phone SB or the Audio Technica LP5X. Will either of these be a substantial upgrade over the Teac, and what do people think out of the two would be the best choice. Obviously happy to hear any...

    Q Acoustics Media 4

    I have the Media 4, and picked up a 2nd hand Q Acoustic 1000si sub. I find that for music I tend not to need it , but it does add that bit extra when watching movies. I used to have a full suround sound system, but don't miss it at all, which I think is testament to how good the Media 4 is...

    Upgrade advice please :)

    Thanks for your Advice I wasn't thinking £250 to upgrade all, (that would be nice!) just one thing at at time. Should the phono stage in a reasonable amp, be better than the built in one on the Teac? And if so, would there be a noticeable improvement in sound? Also, I like the idea of going...

    Upgrade advice please :)

    I suppose in an ideal world, as little as possible to get an improvement. So not sure what that would be? I am happy to go the 2nd hand route though.

    Mixing new and old.

    Thanks for your responses, I also have the tannoy sfx sub/ sat system, I am using the rears and sub from that. The MA's were purchased to improve stereo performance (£69 off ebay) and I am very happy with the results. The centre from the Tannoy sfx was a bit weak, so removed it from the...

    Mixing new and old.

    I currently have a set of Monitor Audio Bronze B4's. Ideally I would like to find a matching centre on ebay, but at the moment there are none available. If I purcahsed the Bronze BX centre from the current range, would it sound ok with B4's in a 5.1 set up? Any Advice is welcome. Thanks
