thanks for the reply chebby, regarding my apple comments, I had a mac and ipad which would had the tingling sensation and a few other friends who had apple gear with the same problem. If you google it, theres quite a few similar reports from others. Saying this my iphone 6S does not have this...

Hi all Some advise please...i currently own a Sony ta-a1es amplifier and hap-a1es hdd player and whenever I run my fingers lightly on either unit, I can feel some kind of static charge. It's the kind of sensation you tend to get with apple products. I have tried connecting the units directly...

I was sceptical too about the concept of running in an amp or hifi in general but the sound on the H160 has changed like light & day, they say our brain gets used to the sound which is true but it didnt really didnt sound great at the begining. But alls well that ends well, and I do admit...

Hi all, just wanted to give an update on what I bought in the end, and that was the Hegel H160 which ive head for about a month now. Last month on one of the TFL strikes (oh the joys), I decided I didnt want throw myself on a packed bus & overground train to go work, I decided to take the day...

Big thanks to all of you... I.D - you are right it is a big sum of money and auditioning is essential but unfortunately I find sellers for both amps are a bit far, apart from the CXN as I have a Richer Sounds nearby but they don't do the Yam AS2100 so could not try both at the same time...

Thanks for that Rick, sound like a perfect match...maybe I'll be giving Musiccraft a call soon

Hi there, im having a tough time deciding between a Hegel H160 vs Yamaha AS2100/CXN combo... The system would be used primarily for playing flacs off a NAS; the Hegel connects straight to the network via DLNA, wheres as the Yam/CXN also seems to be a good combo. I like vinyl also but don't mind...

The Kandy K3 drove the 906s really well and sounded brill, like I said before. The Marantz PM8005, although sounding really good & clean, I always felt something was missing & that it did not drive the speakers quite as well the K3 and was not as punchy/exciting. Although the 906s are easy to...

They were used with a Marantz PM8005 > Roksan K3 > Cyrus Lyric 09 (in this order in terms of sound quality through the 906s)

I have the 906s in a small room and got to say I love them, I find them transparant, punchy with great dynamics accompanied with a wide soundstage. Im sure they would be fine in a larger room

Hi Steve, Thanks for the feedback, and for making me feel better as I ended up ordering a Roksan K3 just before your post! Should be here tomorrow if all goes well but the C390DD is still playing on my mind abit, I would audition them both but just dont have the time. Can I ask did you allow...

Hi there James, Thanks for your reply...and for rewriting it again! The site does seem slow and buggy but I guess its worth the pain for the amount of useful info you can get *pleasantry*. The NAD C390DD does sound to be a great amp as per your description but demo'ing it will be difficult as...

Hi Tino, thanks for replyting. Yeah thats the price thats caught my attention, it does look interesting with those interchangeable modules but ive noticed on sevenoaks website it states you cant use both the BlueOS and analogue modules at the same time, which is disapponting if true...

Hi guys, im eyeing up the NAD C390dd following a price drop, has anyone had any experience with it, any opinions perhaps? I'm feeling my current Marantz setup is lacking, particularly in the midrange, and treble can be a bit a splashy at times. I wonder if my Focal Aria 906s would like the NAD...

Hi everyone, Is it normal for a 2 channel amp to have the left channel ever-so-slightly louder than the right when the amps volume dial is really low, say at 7 o'clock or should it be 50/50 at all volumes? When the volume dial is gradually increased slowly, say from 7.30 ownwards its starts to...
