    Speaker upgrade advice

    Edinburgh is closer but I've a trip over to Glasgow for a gig so was planning to head up early. Was going to see whether Loud and Clear on Vincent Street have some suitable offerings. Although I will likely head to Edinburgh too. I'm not one to rush a decision!

    Overheating amplifier

    Thanks a test (admittedly a YouTube video) the cones are vibrating at low frequencies (20 Hz) but wouldn't say this was madly, not sure how to test this on the turntable a low bassy song? So potentially a suitable external phono stage could alleviate the problem?

    Overheating amplifier

    Thanks TrevC this is obviously not the news I wanted to hear! Is there anything I can do to alleviate the problem? Or is it the case of saving in the meantime for a new amp and running it as I would?

    Overheating amplifier

    Hi, I am looking for some advice regarding my amplifier. It is a Roksan Kandy 2 and seems to be overheating when I run my Pro-jet turntable through it.

    New Amp to power KEF Q5 floorstanders

    Hi My NAD C320 BEE died yesterday so I am now in the market for a new amplifier. As this is unexpected I am rather tight on a budget (wanted to upgrade in a couple of years), at around £300 - 450 tops.
