I want the sound of vinyl.

Thank you nopiano. Don't want bluetooth but logistically need to stash turntable away when not using it and connecting it with cables is a hassle.

Merry Christmas all, looking for recs on best bluetooth turntable upto £500 (could go a little higher if absolutely needed). Amp is Cyrus One, speakers are LS50s (wired). Many thanks you lovely lot in advance

Just to close this thread off...my Cyrus One integrated turned up today and set up with the LS50s, turntable and bluetooth. Road-tested them on Steely Dan's lush production (AJA and Gaucho in case you're wondering, the sound is quite fantastic). Next up see how they handle Shake Your...

Thanks Andy...placement noted....but a big improvement on my current Cambridge Azure a540 amp?

Hello again, now want to upgrade amp in next couple of weeks...would Canmbridge cxa61 do a good job with my LS50s wired do you think? Any other alternatives to power them in a large-ish room gratefully received (happy to buy used to get into the c.500-600 price bracket). Thanks in advance...

Ah thank Nopiano. I've got them in at the moment - will try them out but youre right they're not boomy. Room is about 18 x 30 feet (speakers are at either end of an 18 foot wall. Amp needs to deliver punch and bass to the speakers. Three things connect to it (apart from speakers obvs) -...

Thanks Greg, I've just got the LS50s so don't want to change, just would love some advice on amp upgrade around the £500 or less range (used is fine).

So I got the LS50s for Christmas and love them but do know i need to upgrade the amp - need a solid workhorse - second hand fine - if any ebay suggestions (age immaterial just needs to do the job. Also, probably an ignorant comment, but the LS50s came with these sponges to stick in the vents...

Thanks so much and all of you. Super helpful.

Blimey, thanks for that.

Thanks everyone and points all duly noted. Unfortunately i'm restricted to bookshelves. @12oner - i'm not dead set on LS50. My current speakers in the kitchen (where i do 70% of music listening) lack depth, punch etc and now i'm able to use them fully again (previous request aided by...

Hi all, So i am considering getting a pair of KEF LS50 wired speakers to upgrade my 15 year old budget Wharfedale Diamond. They will sit on generous bookshelves (clear space to the sides and above). My amp is a Cambridge Audio Azure 540A. Question no1 - if i don't change my amp, should i...

It only bloody works a treat. Many many thanks 12M. Lifechanger.

Thanks mate. Just purchased, arrives tomorrow. Will let you know how i get on.
