    Losing interest

    I do most of my listening in the winter as i like spending time in the garden or going out with my family. My listening room is west facing and gets too much sun late in the day so the room is not ideal in the summer months. I believe its good to have a break or limit my music listening.

    Yamaha A-S3000 review

    Looks like your getting a good deal and they trust you look after your speakers. They woudnt be offering you this deal if they were going to lose out on it. Your going to be spending another £2000 pound with them and they will move your speakers on no problem. There probably thinking your be...

    I was quite late getting into cds and bought my first and only cd player the Marantz cd63. I bought this in 1993 and still own and use this to this day. My first cd was Violator by Depeche Mode. I was and still amazed by the sound of this cd.

    Amazon pricing Issue

    What is annoying is if they had sent me the vinyl it would of only cost them an extra 2 pound than its cost them to give me the cd plus refund. Surely honouring the original order and the goodwill is worth the extra. They are risking losing future custom by not being up front with me which i...

    Amazon pricing Issue

    I ordered a Vinyl record on Amazon that was clearly incorrectly priced as the vinyl was cheaper than the cd. When i received the order i received the cd instead of vinyl record. I contacted them and they said they would send my correct order and i was to send the cd back. Four days later i...

    Streamer ideas

    I just read this complete thread and i am totally confused with all this streaming advice. I have always been interested in new technology but not now. There seems to be too many options and i have trouble getting my head around it all. The trouble with technology is it is forever changing...

    I’ve been very bad boy and brought a Yamaha A-S3000

    That is good news that its not working for them and your going to get a replacement. Best of luck with the new one.

    Must be really gutting to have your amp faulty on delivery and then get told due to stocking taking they may not ship out until late next week. I find it a bit suspicious that stock taking would effect shipping. I would email Yamaha and get confirmation from them. I hope you get this...

    Love and Sonic Temple are classics but I believe the new stuff is worth a listen.

    Dali

    I am surprised the dealer didn't connect a similar priced CDP to amp. Hearing a recording on the format you use would of given you a more worth while experience.

    A really hard question..

    I have a man cave / small box room where I listen to my music. My wife and I do watch the occasional music programme together but she does not really like my taste in music or is in to music that much to sit and listen.

    What got you into hi-fi?

    My first hifi was a cheap Sansui amp and cassette player with some cheap Laskys speakers. When the cassette player died one day after the guarantee ran out I bought a Sansui turntable. This was back in the mid 1980s. I bought a Hitachi seperates system off a mate. I soon replaced this with...

    Disappointing sound from mishmash set up...

    Have you tried different positioning of the speakers because this can make a difference in the sound presentation. Did you audition the speakers before buying them? I have my speakers on dedicated stands and this can make a big difference. Your cables should be fine but I would have a...
