    4K Blu-ray players

    So what advantage does the latest hi end AVRs with many HDMI ins and outs have over my old Arcam 300 as far as sound is concerned? I have bi amped my dedicated stereo Arcam amp. with the AV300 to run my right & left front speakers when needed. For plain music CDs I switch off the Av300, but use...

    4K Blu-ray players

    Not ready to commit yet, but may be by early 2017, when I may be tempted by a Pioneer AVR to replace my Arcam 300 (no HDMI in or out) . If an even better 4K blu-ray player than the Panasonic comes out I will consider it at around 800 quid. Of course it will make redundent my current pioneer...

    4K Blu-ray players

    Well, the panasonic has emerged, and with a 5 star review. Do I wait for more competition, and/or for more 4k blu-ray discs, before I commit to one and a 4K TV? Will I have to get a new AV reciever? I currently have the Arcam AVR 300 and quite old with no HDMI.?

    4k PVRs

    Hi! Are there any 4K PVRs available for cable TV such as Ziggo in Netherlands, assuming Ziggo plan to begin 4K broadcasts. I get BBC HD channels via Ziggo and I understand BBC are planning to begin 4K broadcats.

    Upgrade AV amp, blu-ray player and TV

    There is only one solution, given the conditions I placed;- dump the free Mediabox and get one that has L & R inputs and has all the facilities we want - 7day rewind, record 2 channels (or view 1 & record 1); record series, free film or hire films on demand etc. So thanks to anyone who has...

The former worked for a good while off my laptop. but then the problem started. The same happens when I use the supplied phono adapter to plug into my amp. I...

    B & W P5 headphones.

    The right channel on my P5's cuts on and off quickly quite often. Its a nuisance. What can I do? I cant see any way off getting at the right speaker to check the cable connection or to connect a new cable.
