This is a stupid question I'm afraid. How do I connect a Cambridge CXN streamer to a Naim 5i amp? I guess use phono cable and connect from the analogue out to the phono in on the amp? Do I then need to disable the preamp in the Cambridge so I can then use the volume control on the amp, sorry for...

Hi all, any assistance with what CD player to partner with a Rega ELEX-R amp? Speakers will be Tannoy Revolution XT6F. Cost to spend around 1K. Any help great fully received Thanks Martin

Hello, I am thinking about replacing my 5.1 system with a sound bar. If the sound bar has no hdmi how do you connect a blu Ray and the TV to the sound Bar so you can switch between the two? However at times I would still want the TV to play through the tv speakers to keep her indoors happy, the...

Thank you for your comments, I have asked BB about his thoughts on the Anthem MRX310 as I have size restrictions (and money) if I make a serious amp upgrade regards Martin

Many thanks BB for your comments, I have checked on your recommendations but all 3 are physically too big for my furniture, how about an Anthem MRX 310? I'm not interested in spotify, Bluetooth and all that business? comments gratefully received

Hello BB, I was just wanting slightly better than my current set up, are you suggesting it's probably not worth upgrading? Obviously the money factor enters into it and if it's not worth spending the money for little improvement then I will have to buy more fishing tackle! Martin

Hello, I plan on upgrading my receiver from a Yamaha 673 to either a Yamaha 677 or Sony 1050, I am currently using monitor audio RX1 fronts, RX centre, RXFX rears and PV1 sub but these could possibly be upgraded to MA Apexs? I use my current set up 90% blu Ray and 10% music, I'm always hearing...

Hello all, what would be your opinions on replacing MA Apeks with the new MA Gold 50 and 150 centre, do you think it would be a noticeable upgrade? Thank you

Could anybody offer some advice with what B&W centre to match with B&W 685 S2? I am possibly upgrading receiver to a sony 1050 from a yamaha rx673 and upgrade of speakers from monitor audio bronze. I will retain use of the monitor audio bxfx rears, I think they should be ok. many thanks Martin

Thank you Big Boss*biggrin*

Thank you Big Boss, I appreciate your answer but still confused a little. Why when you connect the samsung blu ray and select info on the samsung TV does it show a different (4k) resolution to when the oppo is connected and it shows 1080p even when the 4k output is selected? Don't forget I don't...

Can someone help please. My brother has a Oppo BDP-103 blu ray and a samsung 4k TV, when playing a 4k disc and you press info on TV it only shows it as 1080P? When you set the blu ray resolution output to 4k it still shows 1080P. When he connects his £110 Samsung blu ray and presses info it...

Anybody help please? My brother is updating his speakers to Ken Kreisel, this means his MA apex including centre will be redundant! I may buy them off him, do you think the a10s and a40 used as fronts, rears and centre would integrate with MA RXFX surrounds? I have a yamaha RX673 and a PV1 sub...

I like to think my taste in music has always been a bit "different" but Sylvians later stuff is hard going!

Earlier I was listening to "Brilliant Trees" by David Sylvian, But I still think "secrets of the beehive" is the best, Orpheus is so good. Nice to mooch through the album collection!!
