I like Crossie's suggestion. Mono X's are the way to go for top quality sound and detail so do it in stages and find a good second hand pair of Mono X's as starter.

I would plan a project to upgrade to the 8 DAC QX and get your 6se2 upgraded at some stage to either of the CDT's the music quality is superb. That should certainly give you a very good sound system and the amp through the USB port works well with Mac and Windows. The big step moving to Dac +...

Answer is yes if you want to start a record collection. You start in analogue and finish in analogue no digital conversion to risk losing detail. As for the clicks and crackles well there are plenty of record cleaning processes available and they do a good job in removing dust and static. I Put...

atticus, I started with a budget for getting new HiFi at GBP5K. With the other system we have; Roksan, Cyrus Integrated amp and ProAcs I managed that. But then addiction took over and the Cyrus/Vienna set up finally cost me about GBP13 KI haven't regretted it for a moment. Just means I will...

My lounge is about 6 x 6 meters but with ceiling at 3.5 meters high. Best sound I get is with speakers well away from walls and other things at least 1 meter clearance. So mine sit well into the room 3.5 meters apart and 4 meters from listening position.

My Cyrus Mono Bloc X300's astounded me when I added them to my system. Perhaps not at the budget you want but the 200's also sounded good when I tested them.

I went through the same dilemma with my Cyrus sytem that has a CD transport to a preamp Dac. After a week running the cables in there were no similarities. A good quality digital coax outperforms optical cables in terms of detail and clarity. The only benefit with an optical is if you need to...

Crossie! Done! Back in UK at weekend and will pick up the new PSX-R for the Dac. Thanks for your advice.

Crossie, given that I made a mistake and it is the DAC XP+ would you still recommend the PX-R for this unit?

Chebby, for sure, I love Spooks and have all DVD's

You're right! It is the DAC XP+

Roby, I think you some it up well. We all have different tastes. For me I love the Cyrus firtsly for performance but also I love the compact and simple style and thus kept going with one maker. When I tested the Mono Blocs 300 in the shop I couldn't believe that it was possible that two small...

CYRUS VIENNA ACOUSTICS I hope this works! Above is the link to some pics as you folks have requested. :wave:

Having not kept up with latest technology for eight years my last line up was the Musical Fidelity X-A1 integrated amplifier with Mission 773e speakers and the Arcam CD player (I think the Diva 73) all which I loved and now in the possession of my daughter. I live in Moscow and genuine Cyrus...

I promise to get some pics or link to some pics tomorrow. I tried getting pics into this site but badly failed. :oops:
