I saw the S6e's and there are also some S5e's on but they are auction and havent got going yet ...... I wish there was a hi-fi show some where nearby but I understand the best one is Bristol . An overnighter for me . Give me a hint .....

I wil also add that also love the sound of my Grado SR80i headphones . No idea what speaker manufacturer that would equate to ...............

Hi , Well I dont think i'll get a lot for the RS5s as they were battered when I got them but with new Mids in both and new grilles still set me back less than £400 . So i suppose around £700 . I dont have to stick to any particular budget as such but I am a bit of a meanie :-) . I am not too...

In need of your expert guidance .... My Rega RS5s are currently relagated to the garage due to my significant other unhappy with their size in the lounge . I also am unable to position them correctly . Either side of bookcase and 10" to a chimney breaast on one side is not ideal for side facing...

Hi, I just looked and I only have 1 sub output .....but I have other pre-out outputs so as the sub is active I have presumed it's ok to plug into this . And hey presto it works . I am also presuming this is ok for the amp. Bit annoyed with amp though. I might check if I bought any extra warranty...

Hi, Its the one that came with the BA XS 5.1 system, a couple of years ago, so not the latest version. But I have just remembered I have 2 sub outputs on the Yamaha so I gonna go home and try it in the other one , cant see very well at the back so I missed it last night. Not too pleased with the...

My BA sub has decided not to work all of a sudden. No sound from any inputs including B/Ray which is optical lead to amp. Tried all the normal settings on the amp ( Yamaha RX-V667) to no avail. All the lights work on the sub , but when turning on TV/music the light stays red so is not picking...

Guess what - another question.... If there is a decent blu-ray transport in the pc/storage ( media centre ) and sound card then I wont need a seperate Blu-ray player will I . But how does quality compare ? I have a Sony BDP-S360 currently and so dont want to go down in quality . The missus...

Will look at the back-up system , maybe a simple external hard drive . I dont but CDs everyweek so not a regular thing. Also , what about a seperate sound card ? Is this necessary ? This is not my sons expertise so need advice on that . Ta

Interesting . My son has suggested a box from someone like Silverstone although I like the look of the Aerocool :) And he agrees a small pc is best with all in one box. Straight out, HDMI to the AV amp. That will then , with a good Blu-ray drive , rip anything I want off and also be able to...

Ok so I will need a 'pc' to rip to first then copy to the NAS. Not a problem as my son is in IT and will build it for me . I just try to keep the boxes down or the missus has a hissy fit .....Thats why I'm changing the AV amp to a slimline . Thanks guys.

Cripes this digital tech gets more expensive the more I find out :cry:

If the NAS has software , ie Synology , dont I just need to feed the signal into the NAS . Seems daft to have to buy another player when theres a perfectly good one in the BluRay ! There must be a way ? I feel a song coming on...... Hmm, thinking cap on, methinks ....

I have a question for my soon-to-be future set up: If I have Sony BluRay player and NAS connected to Marantz NR1504 amp , how can I rip off my CDs on the BluRay and store on the NAS ? I can’t see a feature on the Marantz to pass digital out to anything other than the TV ? Does the NR1604 do...

Thanks Guys. Good info . I have gotta get myself down to Richer Sounds to listen. I will also have a listen to the Marantz NR1504 to see how the music is with it . I suspect the 1504 will not be so good as it is similar price but has many more functions and so I doubt the quality is as good (...
