I have got van damme hi fi cable and bought some second hand chord odyssey2 to test, i find the odyssey better but defintely not 4 times better. The van damme is what i recommend as it's a good cheap cable for the money.

I'd have no problem buying manufacturers refurbished kit with a full warranty but would want more than £40 off to be honest.

Thanks for the recommendations i'm defintely going to keep an eye out for the arcam alpha 9 as i still want to hear it and would use it for another sytem elsewhere and will give nad another try i'll go and demo some of the current stuff to get an idea of the sound. We got to hear the rotel and...

I'll try and get a listen of a nad amp but i'm not sure they have the sound i am after, i did have a nad 310 i think as my first hi fi amp but soon moved to the marantz. I'd love to hear the arcams as they get such good reviews, though i'm not entirely sure they would be my cup of tea.

Thanks for the replies, I'm hopefully going to demo the rotel amp today but am taking a look at the creek amps as well now, haven't seen any creek 5350se amps available but have seen the creek evo v1 on ebay for £350 brand new i think, and wonder how that might compare?

I'm looking for a new amp as i want a second system in my study, (my two year old has taken over the living room during the day) So i thought it might be a good idea to move my trusty marantz pm66se ki sig upto the study for headphone duties and upgrade my main sytem with a better second hand...

My daughter has just turned two, so no need for hi fi although she has an old micro system that i got from freegle, in there that she likes to play around with/listen to the radio on. I fully intend on kitting out her room with an amp and speakers at the very least in the future, I would...

I recently changed my interconnect between cd player and amp and speaker cable as they were to short, but instead of spending more money i spent less and found an improvement over my old cables. Agree with trying cables on loan and if you notice a difference then buy them.

I'm really enjoying Porcupine Trees In Absentia and Fear Of A Blank Planet at the moment.

Me too.

SteveR750: dibdab:I defintely won't be buying another cd player when mine dies, I very much like the idea of going down the streaming route, it will be nice to have all my music on a nas with streamers in every room. If this was a gardening forum would that be a strimmer in every room... Oh...

My brother has the same set up as you but with mission m33i speakers and he to found the treble to be harsh at times and that was using chord carnival speaker cable. We both recently moved to some cheap UP LC-OFC speaker cable and found it tamed the harshness in the treble.

I have just bought some new speaker cable after using silver annirversary biwire for years, i actually went for aLiEnRIKs recommendation in the end after wanting to buy chord odessy 2 since i got my new speakers a few months ago, i just didn't have the money in the end and they were still never...
