    Electrocompaniet PI-1

    I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work well with those other components. I found Electro very unfussy it just sounds great. The PI - 1 got 4 star review simply because it has half the power of the PI - 2. The PI - 2 is fantastic. Mine is on on Gumtree for £1395 but i'll take £1300 and it...

    The cheap challenge

    Yeah. The CD player works fine I've tried it in my other amp.. I tried the HK CD player and my iPod through the amp using CD and Tuner inputs. They both had the same symptoms. At first only the right speaker was just audible at mid to max volume and seems to be either badly distorted or badly...
