Hi again. A quick follow up to my previous post on November 4th `Sennheiser HD 800 equivalent sound´ for anybody who may be interested?! I ended up with Dali io-12s. New price in my country (Finland) €1000. Advertised on a good Finnish second hand site as `as new´ (with photographs) for 600. I...

Ok, one more time, many thanks. Everybody`s been really helpful. I guess in the end I`m gonna have to wait until I next visit a big town, or simply take a risk. I`m stll leaning towards the Bowers and Wilkins PX8 S2, but the PX8 original may be ok too??? Cheaper!! Tricky. Even second hand, the...

Many thanks for all your replies, very, very helpful. Hal9001`s technical stuff just goes over my head, sorry! A couple of times the Bowers and Wilkins PX8 S2 were mentioned, and this is now a strong contender. I already have the P5`s and know how good they are, I`m guessing the PX8`s would be...

Thank you for that!! A good start

Just at a friend´s house and listened to his Sennheiser HD 800 (or S? not sure). Wow, so comfortable and amazing sound. Unfortunately they are rather expensive. I now have the HD660S which are ok, but what a difference! I would prefer closed, like the HD 820`s for example, but could manage with...

Yes Gray, I would. I retired from my job as a professional violinist one year ago!

A bit of light relief. I thought it may be fun for people to share any amusing hi fi stories they may have. I myself certainly have a few. If I can get the ball rolling. My interest in hi fi started back in the seventies. My brother, Kevin, who is nine years older, began before me, so I`ll tell...

Thanks all, my final reply. I went for it, and this is how it looks. As regards Fandango Andy`s comment about `how a silver/grey box will look with two other silver/grey boxes?´ Slightly different greys, but I don`t mind and it does sound excellent. Thanks again.

Fair enough. Thanks everybody. Would have been nice to see how they look. We have a stylish room!!

Briefly. Will the Cambridge Audio AXN10 streamer look silly with the A651 azur amp and C651 CD player? Everywhere, I read that it fits right in with the AX or CX amplifiers?

Thanks for your replies. I am very grateful......I live in Finland, and the `yes´ reply tickled me. Finns are known for their direct answers. `Yes´ hit it on the nail!!!

Ok, thank you for that. I don`t have the manual, but did have a look. I do have an RCA connection place, yes. I could get a second hand one for €200 but no possibility to try first. I`m not tech savy, so I need to think. Many thanks. PS there are five inputs, if interested 1) is for the...

Hi! Not been here for a while. My question concerns the Blue Node 2i streamer, and basically how to connect it. I have a basic system, Cambridge Audio 651A amp and the 651C CD player. A Rega Planar 2 deck and Bowers and Wilkins 606 S2 speakers. All magically connected so that my Samsung telly...

Thanks again. So refreshing when somebody simply answers the question.

Thanks. You always reply and answer the question!! Good price, but would I benefit? I don`t know either. To me all sounds fine as it is. But thank you.
