Oh yes, in the future soup will turn into water. Well not if I am a customer. And I'm not alone.

For me, THD is the most important measure, in making an "informed" decision. Am I now being told that it is all "reletive"?

I did not want to start an argument, I respect you all. And I am privileged to talk to you. You know my plan, and I will respond in time, how I am getting along. Who knows, I may be tearing my hair out, and screaming. Or I may tell you, that you should do this too! It's all in the ears, or...

Some people buy high end speakers, with a dozen drivers. That reach from the floor up to the ceiling. And some folk dream of sitting there bombarded by sound, like it was meant to be this way. Now imagine finding space in a small flat with room for bookshelf speakers, one peeping over the T.V...

My speakers are B+W CT7.3 LCRS. They are a little bright. The amp is also a little bright. I really would like some more punch. The medium plan is to power the B+W's with my old NAD 3200 bee. And power the NEAT's with the Yamaha. And run them similtaniously. It is rather complicated, but if you...

Thanks for your input, time is on my side. Your new advice is certainly welcome. I am notorious at planning ahead for every item. In 5 years I will have a tube pre-amp and a pair of ss mono blocks. And I am honestly checking out the waters these days. Like I always say the future is promising, I...

Thank you gentlemen. How about A+B speakers when one pair is 8ohms, and the other is 4 ohms? I'm not trying to wind you up, I really need to know, before I make a purchase. Thanking you. IAN.

Thanks AL, The amps I am considering for next year, (JAN-SALES) are the LUXMAN Z series. 505Z, 507Z or the 509Z. To be realistic, waiting for one used or ex display will be highly competitive, with hundreds of bidders. So I believe I will have to buy new. THANKS, IAN.

Hello everybody. It's something I know next to nothing about. I have the opportunity to purchase; NEAT ACOUSTIC ULTIMATUM XLS used speakers. My problem is this; they are 6 ohms average, minimum 4 ohms. The amp I am currently suffering with is the YAMAHA as701. Which is 8 ohms. the amp I will...

Some times, reading the discourse here, is like looking in a mirror.

Why are so many of you still stuck in the seventies? I just listened to WORKING MENS CLUB. It's new. There is lots of new synth' music today. All this old stuff is just old. We attended the DESTINATION DOCKLANDS, gig. We were just soaked to the skin, and the taxi's just disappeared. I am 68...

I'm rather fond of LITTLE BOOTS. Try NOCTURNES, circa 2013. It's my favourite by her. Try watching the REMEDY video.

I was convinced that a Japanese imported 100V Luxman amp, was the way to go. I purchased a reasonably priced English transformer. (Approx £450). Then I realised it was all fools gold. And a fool and his money are soon parted. So I have a Transformer for sale, and am now saving for that ellusive...

I must say this Belkin looks superior to my TACIMAs, First yours has 8 gangs plus 2 USB's, (mine has 6 gangs and no USB's.) Further more, Yours is half the price of mine, and it has a switch! And I had to buy 3 of them. TV, HIFI and Computer. I know I have said this before, THE NATIONAL GRID is...

I cannot afford a regenerator, or food, because I keep buying SACD's
