    Hummmm on Virgin feed.

    I phoned Virgin about this problem but quite rightly the operator said they didn't have enough knowledge on this to advise properly which was quite commendable. The only thing they could do was to book in a service engineer at the risk that if it turned out to not be their fault I could be...

    Peter Larsen: Sounds like a lot of people love the Arcam sound. I have nothing against the smooth sound, but is rDAC fast enough and punchy enough to play some good old rock with a fast bass drum? The DacMagic is pretty okay at that, but lacks some control when the music really starts...

    having recently moved house i am under the impression that it depends heavily on the quality of the electricity in your house my last house was an old fairly old 1930's one and i found quite sizable gains in using these types of things (mains blocks and iec leads) Im not saying it will make a...
