Yes am open to alternatives. The Mac mini storage is not used to store music files as I use a nas drive. I gues the budget is £1300.00 for the streamer. But the Cyrus DAC is I think getting on for £3,000.00.

My primary source is a Rega p3 with elys cart through project ds+ phono amp into Cyrus pre vs2 serving x200 signature power amp and b and w CM10. I also have a cd8se which is used as a secondary source. I have until recently been using a apple mac mini as a streamer going through an arcam rDac...

the question of the poor dealer service is obviously a disturbing situation. Firstly I love listening to great music on great systems. I do not understand much about models manufacturers. Traditionally I used the media to attempt to understand what system I need went along to the dealer I have...

the turn table is a RP3 . The hum is clearly from the motor as when the motor is turned off the hum stops. It comes from both channels and is not particularly at loud volumes. it does get louder as the volume increases. There is certainly a very slight background hum at high volumes but surely...

Clearly showing my age the tt is a P3!

taking back to original dealer has been tried. No help whatsoever would never recommend them. They are a national dealer and simply blamed set up of system check earths etc. Hence all other equipment purchased from independent dealerships. I don’t know if anyone has tried contacting Rega direct...

Bought a Rega planner 3 with elys 2 cartridge about 3 years ago. Intermittent loud hum on right Chanel. Would disappear if turned motor on and off Upgraded to an exact cartridge in hope it would go away. It did not. After looking over internet decided to get the arm rewired with silver cabling...

So, cables don't matter to some. Cables do matter to others. I will experiment and see if I can tell a difference. I think cables are a little like the emporers new clothes! I have heard if you stand on your head and stick your feet behind both ears, sound can be improved on hi fi systems As a...

I have B & W cm10 with Cyrus cd8 SE CD player 2x mono x 200 signature power amp, Cyrus pre vs2 pre amp. I currently have atlas hyper 2.0 speaker cable. I think it may be time to upgrade the speaker cable. I like a detailed sound with controlled bass. Any suggestions would be helpful as speaker...

After loads of auditions where i took my amps and cd player. Finally decided on the CM10 awesome. Yes of course rest of the system is now lacking but thats the pleasure of upgrading. Quite simply the CM10 sound quality was so much better than anything else tested. Even when blind testing which...

You may be correct. But in my universe funds will not allow to upgrade both amp and speakers at the same time. I would like to upgrade speakers now with future upgrade of amps/amps at a later date.

Thanks for feedback. Interstingly if I run the x power in mono through one speaker. excactly the same results. If I run the system with a rega p3 turntable results are worse. Have had the speakers checked out and no faults. I really think I want something from my system which Spendors can not...

Did not want to start an argument! I bought my system from one supplier on one day after a lengthy audition. All equipment tried was as suggested by this supplier. I am shocked at the thought of a poor system build. Definitely no clipping also no distortion. Just over driving speakers. When...
