    Room correction- mainly analogue setup

    Hi Entrigo, there is a lot detailed information about your system in your post. I just miss: Which cartridge, which speakers are you using and at least main, speaker, interconnect cables are you using? I am not big fan of Dirac, etc. room corrections. In certain situations and systems it works...

    Harman Kardon HK 980 possible upgrade

    Hi, NAD C350 is an old dog, but good one, polite with good manners. 😆 But seriously, weakest part of your system are your old Dali speakers. Dali as a brand has dramaticly improved since the prehistorical time, when ASX 5000 were produced. They are today sonicaly comparable with Dynaudio or...

    JBL £3300 price cut ?

    Those gargantuan price drops are typical for Harman/Kardon Group (now Samsung...)I have purchased JBL Ti 1000 Speakers new ones when price dropped down to 50% and Harman Kardon Festival 500 midi system year later to power them (also for 50%). It was back in 1997 and 1998😅.

    Question Speaker suggestions?

    Hi Omar, you have good hifi amp and turntable and nice wooden cabinet. But any idea like "put speakers inside these wooden cabinet" is foolish and killing your system, sapuka in Samuray's life. Pls. do not do it. Your speakers, some nice sensitive bookshelfs can be placed on top of the cabinet...

    New dali speakers next year SONIK

    Hi, after having experience with Dali speakers in the past I think new Sonik series is gonna be a superstar in its class - sonicaly. This is very capable competitor for B&W 6xx, Kef Q series, Monitor Audio Bronze, etc. Indicated prices are very competitive. BR.

    Speaker hook up

    Hi, It looks like you have activated short circuit protection after you have winded amp outputs for bass and treble together. I recomment to use only amp outputs for "bass" and power with them your Athenas speakers. It could work. My old Panasonic system was also "4 amp, 4 speaker" system and...

    Cd player upgrade

    Hi, you may opt for some Cyrus CD player like Cyrus CDi or Rega Apolo, both very good. With Cyrus you may use one remote control. BR

    Audiolab 7000a or Cambridge CXA81 MKII

    Hi, Mission 753 columns have treble spectrum very detailed and full of energy. A bit too much for some people. Combined with more analytic tuned amp like Audiolab it can bee just too much. I saw some hobist was using them with old Pioneer A400, and was very satisfied. This is no powerhouse...

    Denon DL103 stylus guard

    Hi, if your TT has cover and you use it, than using stylus guard at home has not a big sense. I use them just during transport of TT with cartridge or cartridge itself. BR.
