    Question Rookie choice - rank these amps!

    Except, you are used to them sounding a given way. I have a pair of KEF Cressida a pair of Tannoy Studio 10s A pair of Goodmans Maxim II and each has it's own particular sound, I get used to. If your source is flat, your amp linear and you listen every day to different speakers, you make...

    17 of the best British speakers of all time

    The LS3/5a was an attempt to make a Goodmans maxim bookcase speaker churned out in the millions, made of chipboard covered in vinyl sound good enough as a nearfield monitor, here at the BBC. The trade off was a very complicated and power hungry crossover burning up it's resistors with the too...

    Zero latency wireless speakers?

    BS! my naim doesn't, nore my Garrard 401 or my Decca Grey. I think you went down the rabbit hole and thought the yellow brick road was something to do with streaming! As was said a long time ago If Digital came first, we would all be switching to analogue!

    Newbie advice - Wired vs wireless for Hi Res music

    Just find yourself an old NAD 3020, get someone capable to recap it, and replace the blown Xenor diodes. Content yourself with the source being crap, and forget about all the BS you heard in the press, they want your money and are being bought to tell you fairytales.

    Zero latency wireless speakers?

    Just buy yourself an analogue amplifier. a pair of long wires. Plug them in and forget about all the digital BS.
