I have a Primare A34.2 power amp that replaced my Roksan Kandy 2 in power amp mode and while I am happy with the Primare now, but I wasn't always happy with it. The Roksan had plenty of bottom end and could easily rattle the windows if pushed. I saw the Primare with 50% off and took a chance on...

I love my Class D Primare, but only with the Monitor Audio Silver 300's. Speakers first - that's the way to go.

I've currently got a Audiolab CD8200Q, Primare A34.2 Power Amp and Tannoy Revolution DC6T SE speakers and the sound is very lean, even bordering on thin with some recordings. I was using my Roksan Kandy K2 as a power amp before the Primare and there was bass a-plenty. I've switched to the...

My current setup sounds great. I was just wondering if a mainly aesthetic upgrade would also offer any audio benefits. I don't think it's financially justifiable after reading everyone's helpful comments. Maybe a pair of 8200M's or 8200MB's would be the way to go if there was any upgrading to do.

Did I mean the P? Thanks. Ok, would the P be a waste of time compared to the Kandy K2

I'm currently using my Roksan Kandy K2 integrated as a power amp with the CDQ8200. Is it worth getting a dedicated power amp such as an Audiolab 8200M (if I can find one) or is the Kandy K2 as good as I can get with a CDQ8200?

I have a few albums that no longer have sleeves and one that never orginally came with the lyric sheet inner sleeve. I was hoping that someone, somewhere sold sleeves and inner sleeves. Thanks for the replies

Is there anywhere that sells record covers with the records?

I once had a Planar 3 with Elys 2 cartridge. It was fine. Not bad at all. After a few years I replaced it with an Ortofon 2M Blue. I couldn't belive how much better the 2M Blue was.

I'm sure this hs been asked before but can humans hear "hi-res audio"?

Thanks guys. The RP6 is just over a year old and replacing it is out of the question for quite some time. I'm mostly happy with the RP6 and Bronze so I'll just replace the stylus with another Bronze when the time is right.

Thanks David. I had a suspicion that the Black might be overkill for an RP6

Is pairing an Ortofon 2M black with a Rega RP6, a waste of money? Would I hear the benefits of the black? Should I stick with my 2M bronze?

I bought my RP6 over a year ago and two replacement TT-PSU's later I think I can live with the buzz. It's still there with quiet music played at loudish volumes but nothing like as bad as the first two TT-PSU's. I wouldn't buy Rega again

1994 and 2010 CD versions. Neither sound particularly "hi-fi". Superb album though which is really all that matters
