Your right, I was going to have a change up but decided I would probably regret it so not changing speakers again now.

Looking to get some speakers for a Marantz PM7003 amplifier, I was looking at a pair of Acoustic Energy 301 standmounts, don't know much about them but they have good reviews and are reduced at the moment, I also heard that they go well with Marantz, Is this a decent match at this price point?

Back to the Arcam A19, I have heard that amp a few times and thought it was a very decent amp. As suggested before I would look at the speakers. My personal choice with this amp would be Kef or B&W.

I have had the Bluesound Node before up unitil very recently. Sound Quality was the best I have heard to date at this price point, app wasn't bad eaither but wasn't great. moved it on for other reasons. I was playing music from my NAS (Redbook & HiRez) & streaming Qobuz & Tidal. I have had...

Dosen't support Qobuz or Tidal, only Spotify or Deezer Elite. The apps nothing special, limited to what resolution you want to push through it. Besides all that its great.

Thanks for all the options, some I haven't thought of so its quiet useful to know. At the moment I am just going through the motions of swapping boxes. I am happy with having my music on a NAS, its just the box in between that and my Daac.

I have a WD My Cloud. I have been looking at raspberry pi ( a lot) but I am not sure how it would work on my Ipad (if it can) and how good it would be comapred to some user interfaces I have used, that said its a lot cheaper! I didn't know about NUC pc, I am quessing its a Windows version of a...

I am looking for a new (to me) solution to play my music that I have stored on my NAS. As I have never had a Sonos Connect or a Mac Mini I just wanted to see other people thoughts who may have had one or the other. At the moment I have my Macbook Air plugged into my Dac via USB but I would...

Its a really simple set up, I agree. Funny enough though I use it more for streaming films (via Plex) than music as I am either using Qobuz/Tidal/Spotify instead these days.

Only you can tell if you will hear a difference in sound SQ. I have pretty much used all the streaming services out there, although Dezzer had the best music cat for me it had the worst sound for me. Regarding Tidal & Quboz I am/was more than happy with the sound quality but lacks the music I...

I would agree with the above about swapping the stylus to a Blue. Also make sure your records are clean as it makes a massive difference.

I have had them for a few months now. I have never really had them at party levels yet & never thought of breaking in times I just broke them in gently you could say. However I do test them from time to time.

Hey, at the moment I have them in a space around 4x3m the speakers are on the 4m side of the room. I have them quite away from the wall only because only because I don't have much choice at the moment. I would say they are about 2-3m apart from each other. I am using Van Damme blue series...
