Hi everyone, thanks to anyone who replied to my previous threads but I am still in need of some advice. I have managed to rework my budget and now have £500 for a receiver and speakers. I was all but set to go for the Yamaha rxv375 and Boston soundware speakers but now my budget is slightly...

Hi, does anyone own or has heard the above receiver? I have noticed that Peter Tyson are currently selling it for £230 with free delivery. I have seen mixed reviews on these ''slim'' av receivers and wondered if the matantz was any good and if it was better than the Sony STR-DN840 and Yamaha...

Thank you for your reply Andy. The 375 was my first choice as I wanted something that steers effects very well, I guess the lure of extra features like networking and 7.2 from the Sony and other receivers made me question if I was better spending a bit more money, the only thing putting me off...

Sorry about the late replies, been very busy at work. Yes I have already bought the Panasonic bdt330 as I got it for £150 in a sale. My speakers are definitely going to be the Boston soundware as they seem the best speakers at their price, if I sacrifice quality of cables and hold off getting...

Thanks for your reply big boss. Yes I think it is between the Yamaha or Sony. I can't really stretch my budget as I need to allow money for cables and stands. I won't be ordering anything until next week so I am going to do some searching online to find the best prices for everything, if I can...

Hi guys, I haven't been on the forum a quiet a while and I am in need of some help/advice. I am currently building a budget home cinema system. Currently I have a Panasonic DMP-BDT330 Blu Ray player and my speakers will be Boston Soundware XS SE. I am having trouble choosing between the Yamaha...

I would go for avast anti virus from the play store. It's free, scan apps you install and has web browser anti virus. If you root your device it even has a firewall that can be used. I'm using it on my galaxy s3 and galaxy tab 2 7.0 and it works like a dream

Hi guys, work and family commitments have kept me away from the Hi Fi scene and this forum for a while but i am now back and i am in need of your help. I am looking to build a new system which will include amp,cd player and streamer, this will be used as either a second system or as my main...

Thanks for the replies everyone. It seems like i have got a choice between either a Synology NAS or the Apple Mac Mini. I was looking at the earlier G4 mac minis as they can be picked up quiet cheap and as i would only be using it to serve my media to my devices i would hope it would be able...

Thanks for the reply spockfish. Is there any model synology you would recommend to use? Do any of the NAS's have a usb port so you can add more storage to them? which server are you using, is it one that came pre installed on the synology or is it one you downloded?

Thanks for the reply tremon. I was thinking that maybe the spec shouldn't matter too much. it may be best to do abit more testing with my netbook first before i shell out on a apple mac mini. do you ever get any problems with buffering or music files stuttering? thanks.

Hi everyone, i am in the process of putting together a media server and need a little help and guidance choosing the right media server software and choosing the best way to run it. I need the server to stream music (FLAC/320kps) and movies (upto720p) to 3 modded Apple TV's, a modded iPad 2...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I want to say a very big thank you to Q Acoustics Customer Services, i emailed them late last night about the floorspikes and they have just emailed me to say they have sent some new ones out in the post FOC. @PlasticPenguin: I thinky you may be best to keep...
