I have been the happy owner of a Fiio X7 for a while now AM2 module, sounds (IMO) fantastic but as is well documented the UI is clunky and the battery life is getting a little restrictive! I have not had the good fortune of listening to an array of other DAP's and am interested to take...

Putting together a setup for my new office (just moved house) - so need some advice please.... The only common denominator will be my Clearaudio Concept (MC) and Basic Plus Phono Stage - thinking of wall mounting it, how easy to do is this? Recommend a bracket anyone? So we are talking New Amp...

Been looking for opinion and verdict on the A39 and would appreciate any advice on its strengths/weakness' and would it fit into my current setup? Currently using - Arcam A19, KEF R300, Clearaudio Concept MC, Clearaudio Basic MM/MC, Chord Ref Cables. I am happy with my setup but have the...

Hi guys - thankyou for your comments they are hugely appreciated - price wise I am happy to make the extra outlay for the difference in performance. The real question is - is that price leap worth it - I will be unable to listen to the MC before purchase, don't get me wrong if I'm not happy I...

Using an Arcam A19 - but looking to upgrade to a Music Fidelity M3si or a Cyrus.... The Phono Stage will be the Clearaudio Basic+ - the reason for the Clearaudio cartridge is that I'm getting a package deal on it all. The Concept MC retails at about £600 but getting it with the Concept...

As simple a question as that - MM or MC. Have demo'd the turntable with MM and loved it - fantastic clarity and data retrieval. Am not able to demo the Concept MC - what are the relative benefits? I can upgrade the Concept MM to the Virtuoso MM or Maestro MM cartridge for similar money to...

Need some advice as to what to sample marrying this with - full upgrade - currently have a Debut Carbon, looking at the Rega RP6 or Clearaudio Concept - listened and thoroughly enjoyed both - the Rega through the Elex R. Speaker advice appreciated - I have listened to Kudos x2's which were...

Based in Reading, Berks - I have listened to all in store apart from the Concept - my leaning towards the Concept is borne of a friend of mine who has one that I've listened to briefly....very briefly sadly - he rants about it. Rega I have listened to through the Rega Int Amp - I have listened...

How do they differ? Am talking to my local AudioT store and they are attempting to get the Concept in for me to have a listen to.... They are currently recommending the Rega RP6 with with Elex-R Inegrated Amp - but for whatever reason my current leaning is towards the Concept with either the...

Hello again - I have received some excellent advice in a previous post regarding a new turntable - leaving me with a couple in mind - the Clearaudio Concept and Rega RP6 standing out - as well as the Analogue Works TT1 with a few upgrades thrown in.... Plan is off the back of this: Clearaudio...

Like all of us here present I have fallen head over heels for vinyl...I started with an entry level Pro-Ject Carbon - a worthy starter for 10 that I have enjoyed but it's about time I moved into the bigger leagues.... Problem I'm encountering is the sheer choice at the £1000 to £1500 price mark...
