Its tricky at this budget but we'd obviously recommend avoiding the one box hipster systems that come within your budget - its worth investing a little more, but you can achieve a starting point for a reasonable sum. The Pro-Ject Elemental USB is a good starting point (with built in phono...

We got the full Grado range on demo when we refitted our store recently and while the workmen were finishing our headphones bar, we took the opportunity (in the evening when it was quiet!) to compare the latest "e" models to the prior "i" models and even the earlier models (in one case we had a...

Most specifically we'd say, buy from an authorised retailer - you might save a few bob buying a from a generic seller on an auction site or elsewhere, but you could be getting fakes/non-genuine product which isnt backed up by any warranty. Buy from an authorised dealer and you get the genuine...

More specifically, where is the sound youre getting lacking for you and what does it need more of?

Really depends on your set-up, can we have some more info? What screen do you have, how large is the AV stand and is the stand glass or wood? If the screen is large enough and the stand isnt very deep, a soundbar can be the better idea as its not as deep and can sit in front of the screen (and...

Can of worms this. There are some genuine reasons why some components will benefit from "run in" and others won't, but in most cases we've found (not surprisingly) that the biggest difference between the sound of something out of the box and run in is with speakers. The only omission to that...

Sorry for the late reply. Our current terms and conditions do reflect that we will collect FOC if an item develops a fault within 6 months, please excuse this in our prior post. As indicated, we only suggested return in this case to the manufacturer to save some time, but we usually arrange...

We've got Primare A34.2 and Primare PRE32 on demo currently and we've listened to them with KEF R700 (good combo), Focal 1028 (which are a little more expensive but we only suggest as theyre currently on offer so a little more on par with price), but our favourite combo is with the ProAc D20R -...

Thanks for your comment and appreciate your frustration when something goes faulty but customer services will always aim to get any such items resolved as soon as possible. Your contract is with us (not with the manufacturer), however, unless something goes faulty within the first 30 days (in...

Many online retailers do this but we ONLY do this for *some* items. We keep a LOT of stock otherwise and many orders do ship same day. Its impossible to keep *every* single item in stock at any one time but we monitor stock daily to ensure we're ordering more of popular lines and keeping them...

Thank you for your comments. Many of the orders we ship arrive within 24/48 hours, otherwise we aim to keep customers updated as frequently as possible. We spent a considerable sum about a year ago updating our customer services system and introduced a better process for customers to be called...

The last comments on this thread were posted several weeks ago now and while we hope the issues posted were resolved, we wanted this opportunity to respond to these on this thread. Please accept our apologies again for any order delays relating to stocks. We value excellent customer service...

Chebby - done, removed the store links, sorry, should have read the rules first. The manifesto link isnt to solicit business, etc though - this is purely to share the message of good hi-fi Where do you sit on the question posted?

To paraphrase a character in Pulp Fiction, "that's a bold statement!" Would you guys agree with this? Of course all speakers need to be set-up and positioned properly, but this statement would be written from the perspective that bookshelf speakers are affected by the stands (type, height...

Hi Jeremy, There are certainly a number of ways that you can do this, all with varying degrees of quality. We use these in store, to stream Spotify, they work a treat and also sound great too: http://www.audioaffair.co.uk/audio-pro-wf100-wireless-audio-system
