    Denon TU-260L

    I also have the MK2 and agree with JohnDuncan in saying that it is fantastic. It was purchased from ebay for £34 about 12 months ago, it had been well looked after and was in mint condition. I live in North Staffordshire and have a large 5 element FM aerial in the loft pointing towards Sutton...

    PS3 as media player

    The Drive my son uses with the PS3 is a Medion drive & Go - 320GB, (no power cable) - powered through the USB, formatted NTFS, not partitioned, it works with no problems. I've just tried my NTFS partitioned hard drive that has a separate power cable and the PS3 did not recognize it. So I...

    Playing songs ripped in iTunes through PS3

    Forget to say that after adding files to the shared folders section you need to click on the save tab, then click on Restart HTPP Server.

    Yamaha RX-V1900 - terrible availability !

    I appear to be one of the lucky ones, ordered it mid December from Creative Audio and drove to Shrewsbury to get it on Dec 23rd. Watching Batman,The Dark Knight (b-ray)on Christmas Day - AMAZING PIECE OF KIT. My advice is to grit your teeth and hang on until they are in stock.

    Cables & Interconnects for Cambridge Azur 740

    CA Azur Reference cable is the one that I "won" on Ebay, a lot cheaper than RS, but about 50% more expensive than the Mark Grant. I'm very pleased I haven't wasted my money with you regarding it as being evenly matched. Blakenhall

    Cables & Interconnects for Cambridge Azur 740

    Hi Brian123 I've been looking at this site/interconnect as well as another forum where he takes "made to measure" orders. He appears to have a lot of happy customers, so at £20 for 0.50mtrs it's worth a purchase. Just got a Cambridge 0.75mtr on eBay at a good price so I can give it a...

    Cables & Interconnects for Cambridge Azur 740

    Thanks for the reply momo72 I'm using the Chord Carnival Silver Screen for my front 3 speakers on my Surround Sound, great cable but way too chunky for me to pass through the conduit - I've also got coaxial running through it. Will have a look at VDH. Has anyone any comments on the QED Qunex...

    Hi. Re - Cambridge Audio Azur 740C & 740A. Mordaunt-Short Mezzo 2 speakers. Hoping that someone can give some advice on which speaker cable would be suitable for the above system. I don't want anything too "chunky" as I need to thread it through conduit that goes behind the fireplace. Also...

    Yamaha AX863SE/Panasonic BD55

    Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem with the Yamaha RX-V1900 and Panasonic BD55, watched The Dark Knight (sounds daft, but I thought it was better than when I saw it at the movies)but the True-HD did not light up on the amp. Blur-ray is set up the same, bitstream out. Just hope that...
