    Hi, I am Rega Nut, so I am very happy with new Brio amp mk7, same with new MM ND family of cartridges. But PMC Prophecy speakers are stunning, Ruark family of streaming radios and speakers look and sound great...New Cyrus 40 whole family is great, awaiting big Cyrus 80 pre/power and integrated...

    Advice on next upgrade for my vinyl setup (£500 budget)

    Hi, thanks for more info about your system. Bith amps Marantz 6007 and Rega Brio are very good ones. Rega is more lively, has more energy, very good for rock, pop, electronic music. Marantz is smoother more polite. Brio has best in class phono preamp inside for MM cartridges. Normaly you will...

    Advice on next upgrade for my vinyl setup (£500 budget)

    Hi SFW, you have good turntable and also cartridge, Project with your arm and Ortofon 2M Blue are well matched combo. Marantz 4200 amp is not bad but with 30w per channel and quite sweet sound do not give you many possibilities regarding combinations with speakers. I recommend to look on...

    New HiFi + Turntable setup for Apartment

    Hi, Hi, first remark is regarding analogue: Planar P6 with Ania Pro is excellent combo. Phono preamp Phono MC 4 is good, sound with Rega Aria is a class better. Amp NAD M10 is very good. Speaker combination with Kef R3 is underpowered for such big room. Do you already have those speakers? Is it...

    40m2 - Front ported

    Hi Cambridge CXA60 is very good small amp. Well designed for small to mid size room. In big room like you have it can work with high sensitivity speakers. But amp like his brother CXA 81 or new 81mk2 or Arcam A15 or Rega Elex are better choices. Speakers like B@W 600, 700 have very lively...

    40m2 - Front ported

    You have 40m² of space, so where is the problem? I have 35m² and I run 2 floorstanders with 100 liter internal volume and two subwoofers. And it just fits. Is not possible to rearange the furniture or some other change? May be, post some pics of current setup, we may have a look and think about. BR

    40m2 - Front ported

    Hi, I think solide floorstander will make a better service in your room. Something like QAcoustics 5040 or 5050 (neutral full sound) will be truly great. Or alternative from Dali Oberon 7 (livelier and more airy sound) or Monitor Audio Bronze 500 (full deep bass and good dynamics) or new very...

    Dual VIBRAPOD isolation

    I like your ideas of vibration isolation. What about your shelf, is it some home made design? Is also your Technics TT sitting on it?

    Amp Upgrade

    Hi, you have very good system. If my system, I will upgrade front of the system first. Roksan Caspian M2 is still very balanced and musical amp. I think no need to upgrade. Combination with Spendor D7.1 is very good. I recommend to try streamer Lumin Mini U2 which is a real best in class. I...

    Question IMPEDENCE.

    Hi Ian, Neat Ultimatum XLS are very very good speakers with high resolution. Luxman amps from Z line are excellent choices for them. I will only add, Neats sound also very good with Naim Audio Nait amps and Rega Aethos will be excellent match as well. Lot of good possibilities. BR. Juraj

    Not connecting via optical out....

    Hi, WiiM has a simple basic Dac inside. Better will be to use WiiM as Streamer only, CDP as transport only and run them in digital out into better dac or amp with dac like Audiolab 6000, new Rega Brio mk7 or Arcam A5. It will sound a lot better, e.g. WiiM via a good dac, streamer in WiiM is very...

This is 2x 100 watt into 8 ohm, "old style" AB class amplifier with Bluetooth receiver, good AM /FM tuner, analogue and digital inputs and lastly yes very good sound! Price here around 600 Eur. Just be warned, old good...

    Suitable AMP for my MXN10 & FA302i

    Hi Dean, If you have focus on sound quality, than to pair one amp with two pairs of speakers is noy optimal choice. I recommend to choose one good pair of speakers. Amp like Arcam Radia A15 is a lot better than Maranz PM6007 or PM6006 or A-S301 or your old HK 610. Arcam has very good DAC...
