    Buying a hi-fi system, need advice please! :)

    That includes €10 delivery cost and it's too late but thanks anyways :) I found Isoacoustics L8R130 for £50 but on the site it recommends L8R155 for Yamaha HS5, which costs £75. Would I be okay using the L8R130? I would buy stands and I do have space but I'm going to be making music on my...

    Yeah that's triple the price of the foam :/ Thank you for the recommendation though, I didn't even know those existed. I think I'm going to try and get some custom sized styrofoam so it fits perfectly underneath my speakers while keeping them level.

    These are the adapters I need right? I don't understand why there isn't a 3.5mm to x2 6.5mm cable :/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/Phono-6-35mm-MONO-Jack-Adapter/dp/B004VGADY2/ref=pd_cp_ce_2

    I've heard that the Yamaha speakers should be placed at least 5 feet away from the nearest wall, is this ever feasible in most rooms? I'm going to be plugging the speakers into my Airport Express and listening to the music over Wifi. I initially thought the music would be reduced in quality...

    Okay, I've had a look at cables and speaker pads (I decided I'm going to have the speakers on my table rather than on stands). For speakers, I found these...

    Hello I managed to get new HS5's off eBay for £185 so I'm going to be using them. I'm eventually going to be making my own music and I think it's better I get used to good monitors. Thanks for all the help, especially Davedotco :) All I need to do now is buy cables and something to decouple the...

    Also, I've learned that the Yamaha HS50M's are considered reference speakers. Are Seiwin 4a's also considered reference speakers?

    Hello guys, I have the money now and so I'm going to go ahead and buy speakers. I've decided on either the Seiwin 4a or the Yamaha HS50M, based on your recommendations. I found a pair of Yamaha HS50M speakers on eBay and I'm going to make an offer of £150, do you think this would be a better...

    I bought an AEX so am I right in thinking there's no need for a DAC? Also, I figure the 2nd gen AEX will have amazing resell value potential - I bought it for £50 and I think I'll be able to sell it for above £30 within next 5 years if I need to (plus faster speeds, less hassle, it's probably...

    Thank you for the replies. I bought a 2nd gen AEX off eBay for £50 so that's sorted. - When you say phono adapter do you mean 6.3mm to 3.5mm? And is that for a cable that is RCA phono to 6.3mm? I linked a cable below for you, is it the cable you were talking about (I couldn't find Pro Install)...

    Buying a hi-fi system, need advice please! :)

    Thank you very much for the information, I have a few follow-up questions if you don't mind answering: - I found a review of the Seiwin 5a speakers and it says ""if you wish to connect several line-level sources then just purchase a switch-box (from about £10)." I've decided to buy the latest...

    Buying a hi-fi system, need advice please! :)

    Hello davedotco, I have a few questions for you! 1. If I were to extend my budget, what setup would you recommend? Seiwin 5a with Airport? I really want wireless and I'm not sure the DAC stuff you mentioned is cabled or not. 2. I had a look at some systems and Dennon DM39 coupled with...

    Buying a hi-fi system, need advice please! :)

    Hey guys thanks for your suggestions. I did research all night last night and found that what I really want to be doing is utilizing airplay. I found this little device: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neet%C2%AE-Wireless-Receiver-wireless-streaming/dp/B00O0U37HO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top So now I'm...

    Also for £150 (probably £120 now that I'm buying the Airplay device) do you think it's worth buying a seperate amplifier and speakers or should I get a micro hifi?
