I can recommend the peak consult princess monitors, nothing will come close to them for such a small box. You can still get these as a bargain occassionally. They are nearly as good as the larger Empress and Grande. Nothing will compair. They are hard to get hold of though.

Quote... The DAC2‘s audio performance is stunning — in that it projects a smoother texture, with increased accuracy in the bass and mid-frequency soundstage. But the top-end is full of energy and detail. Usually, a DAC’s subjective improvements are subtle, but the DAC2 HGC’s audible...

A good HiFi should work with all music and sound. It should reproduce the sound exactly as it was recorded. It should produce a "You are there" sound. If it works best with only one type of music then it has failed and obviously has altered the sound. Now bad recordings.... don't get me started...

Got a vintage 1950's NOS 300b tube from fleabay. The description was wrong so got it for under £50, it worth well over a grand and a half!

I'm not going to sell (as the amps still keep the room warm even on the coldest days lol). I'm thinking of getting a decent switch made and having some cheaper speakers as the day ones, I have some blue room mini pods as the back speakers on a surround sound system in the living room, they...

About 12 months ago I got the Hifi bug pretty bad and at the time had a good budget to get a good middle level sytem. After auditioning too many systems to mention I ended up with a system that in my listening room blows the socks off everything else I considered, others whom have heard it agree...

I use my system in my listening room and lounge. Its a pain to change the speakers round at the back of the amp each time (banana plugged and built in banana end on the others.). Is there any high grade quality speaker switches out there. Price isn't important within reason as these need to last...

There's a main dome going on 'bay for 30 quid... save your no claims :).

Kartell did some retail sculptures along this theme a while back :)

Speakers - Yes, Earphones - Yes, Electricals (Excluding Valves) - No, Cables - No, Valves (Not too sure... I think so but the sound was smooth at the start and is now after 20min warm up... if there is a difference it's to gradual to tell)

I've never been able to tell a noticable difference between biwired or not. The speaker cable itself makes a noticable difference however ( I noticed differece each upgrade (from £2m >> £12M >> £Silly M)), in my case for the better, it may just be a change to the sound so make sure the cable is...

Surely the best sound quality to rival "real performance " has to be very linar in it's projection. Will active speakers give this as well as traditional. I too want the sound to be performance like and acurate so am presently saving for a pair of Peak consult Empress. I know these blow the...

My dream piece would be O'heocha speakers, I just can see then sounding as good as wooden counterparts, I've tried some of the original blueroom speakers too and they did sound good, but no where near "traditional" designs of the same price range, so have become part of my TV system. I do think...

I'm was just wondering how important it is to people. When choosing new components : it's obviously sound lead, but with more and more companies offering top end sound with looks to die for, which way do most people go and whats important to you guys? Looks and sound, or sound or simply looks...

I've gone for 47 triangle plate Sylvania 6SN7GTB for the CD player as there strongly recommended on a few forums for this model. As for the amp... 2 x 300b-z treasure tubes, 2 matched (Angled Black Plate) 6SN7GTB Tubes By Sylvania (manufactured for Rogers) , a matched pair Sylvania 6SN7 GTB...
