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.

I am not hi fi savvy! I listen to CD`s, LP`s and Spotify. Cambridge Audio Azur 651 A and C (amp and CD player) Rega Planar 2 with Audio Technica VM 95 SH. Speakers B&W 606S2. I have Spotify Premium, using either my computer or telephone, even the telly! For sale is a Cambridge Audio Stream...

Hi! I bought that turntable a few months ago. I replaced the Rega cartridge with an Audio Technica VM95SH. Sounds brilliant. The dealer did the change, no problem. In Finland the price is €199. Good luck

Thanks again to all of you. The Nosti Disco Antistat looks a good bet!

Thanks for your replies! I`ll just play the ones that look ok. The Okki Nokki is a bit on the pricey side. As for being OTT, I have seen how many people handle records!!! Two stories to amuse you. My brother, nine years older, sent me with a note to the shop to buy his first ever LP. The note...

Can LP`s in not such good condition damage a stylus? I am very proud of my LP collection, started some fifty years ago, and have never let anybody borrow one, or even handle them, they still look, and sound like new. Never been cleaned or treated, why would they be?! My wife has asked if she can...
