My new Onkyo TX-NR 838 has one HDCP 2.2 enabled HDMI input, although the HDMI inputs are v2.0 they have a reduced bandwidth (limited to 10.2Gbps) compared to 18Gbps of full v2.0.

Looking to replace my Brio-r. I know the Brio does punch well above its price but would prefer something non Rega. The Brio has had a slight hum from day 1 (which I understand is because of the position of the transformer?) but frankly I'm fed up with it now and want something that doesn't...

Been listening to some new vinyl - Frankie Goes To Hollywood ''Welcome To The Pleasuredome'', Jack White ''Blunderbuss'' & The Black Keys ''Turn Blue''

My first 'serious' kit was a Rega Planar 2 TT, Sansui Amp, JVC cassette deck and a pair of Wharfedale speakers. Think I was about 17 (A long time ago!)

Received my Yaqin MS-23b earlier this morning. First thing I did was to remove the aluminium structure over the tubes - used a 2mm 'ball head' hex key (after removing the screws put them back in the holes remembering not to lose the very small rubber washers!) next I removed the tube sleeves (...

System at the moment is Rega RP6 c/w Nagaoka MP-200 (Which I believe your a fan of as well!) Rega Brio and RS5's I know someone with a similar system (different speakers) that is using the Yaqin MS-22b (model that the 23b replaces) which did (some say) suffer from a bit of hum - although all...

Are you thinking of getting one of the Yaqin MS-23b's yourself?

Yes! By the way, how are you liking the Michell?

Ordered one of these this morning. Thinking of which valves to perhaps try in place of the stock ones, the JJ Electronic 12AX7 ECC83 have been recommended as well as the Electro Harmonix ones. Any other suggestions?

Cheers, thanks for that.

Just wondering if someone on here can help me out. Mate of mine looking to get a RP6 and was wondering what is the default colour of finish of the supplied TTPSU (I have a black RP6 myself and the TTPSU supplied was black) but he hasn't yet (well his missus hasn't!) made his mind up between a...

Anybody had any first hand experience of one of these or it's predecessor the MS-22B?

Having the same trouble myself on my Oppo BDP-93 (which I believe the CA 751 is based on?) but found if I let the movie start (with pop-up menu visible) then press stop, then play, then select 'return to last time played' -no pop-up menu. If you do select the pop-up menu while movie is playing...

I received mine from Amazon today as well - looking forward to giving this a spin!

The Nagaoka is one heck of a good cartridge that's for sure!
