I've not been personally, but my girlfriend did visit the PF-exhibition and thought it was brilliant. Well worth a day out. Do take some time for it though, it appears to be quite extensive.

Wow! I was not expecting that response ;) Is it that uncommon to still have .wma-files?

Hi all! First time I've come sneaking around this side of the forum. Hoping to get some assistance from you lot! I've been using Rocket Player as my main music app for the last year or so, but since updating to the latest version my .wma-files are no longer playable. Since I have no...

I can only say I liked the Aria's better and haven't looked back since! The MA's are known to be tiring to some ears and though that wasn't my experience, I'd urge you to compare both speakers before buying.

I have been lurking around here for some time now, trying to make helpful comments within my (rather limited) knowledge. But I have learned a lot here and would hate to see the forum go. What surprises me is that I do not seem to have the same issues other users are complaining about. Some...

You are correct, I missed the inclusion of the phono, my bad!

I have had similar issues with the PM-6005. Try touching/twisting the cables leading into the phono input on your amp. If the sound returns, there might be something loose (or a bad contact) in the amp's phono stage.

Go with the cartridge first, it should make the biggest difference.
