Apologies for the very specificpost but I have a Cyrus 8a amp which came with a remote control which I think is model IR14. The remote has a backlight which is set off by motion, and its burning through batteries as a result at a rate of knots. Has anyone had this sme problem and is there a way...

Spent a bit of time listening to the Rega elex-R. It sounded great. Then we tried a Moon Neo 250i. Its nearly twice the price but sounded superb, and was a step up from the Rega. However at £1650 I'm just not sure. The chap in the shop suggested the Moon is way ahead of the Rega Elicit R. Got a...

So thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I've decided to keep the NP30 streamer and will focus on amp/speakers. Budget probably a little reduced, maxing at £2500. In a couple of weeks I'll be auditioning the Naim Nait 5si, Rega Elex-R, and also, on recommendation from my local shop, the...

Thanks for the responses so far. The Cyrus Lyric 09 suggestion is relly interesting. Also, I'd seen reviews of the Tannoy XT8F and had already shortlisted them. So in terms of a streamer/amp combo, how do you think the Cyrus Lyric 09 would compare well against a Naim Nait 5si combined with my...

Hi, I have an opportunity this year to upgrade my hifi with a potential budget somewhere around the £2500- £3k mark. I have an older setup, which is at the budget end and would like some advice on where I should best spend my money. I'm happy enough to replaceall three elements of my current...
