I have no personal experience of the Denon system you are considering, but from the reviews it seems to be an excellent choice. I just wonder why you would WANT to add a turntable? Perhaps you have a treasured collection of LPs? Even so, I would suggest that you consider spending the money on...

Nowadays, fully digital recording processes achieve a standard of fidelity that is noticeably superior to analogue recordings, even on budget equipment. However, is the greater "attack" or "musicality" that a specific piece of equipment imparts, revealing qualities of the original recording...

I am honoured to possess the amplifier is undoubtedly the best not only for all time past, present and future, but also all relativistic proper time. What is it? The Q Pertors C-236. Not a name that you may be familiar with in the higher reaches of audio exotica, perhaps because it costs the...

Thank you.

I'm concerned that could contravene the site rules. I've only just joined the site. I don't want to get banned! Besides which, I need feedback from others testing the units. That would be pay back enough.

The equipment I have is plentiful, but decidedly inexpensive consumer grade kit. Mostly bought second hand, some almost heirlooms (they are that old)... Signal sources: CDs ripped to WAV files (I have the original CDs) hosted on Dell, Toshiba and Samsung laptops. Supplemented by TV and digital...

I have an idea that may help... I have a number of prototype connection boxes that simplify the connections. Most of them also have switches to allow a range of adjustment, and a 2 channel setting to allow comparison between 6 channels and 2 channels. They are "hobbyist" grade, e.g. mostly...

Thanks for this.

The instructions are not that complex to follow, if you take them one step at a time. They just seem so when written down. But as you are happy with the performance of your system, why would you bother?

As far as I am aware, these proposals are uniquely different from the facilities built in. Principally, the Centre speaker is not used, nor are speakers at the rear. Nor is any "processing". Have you tried two speakers spaced 60 degrees apart?

Thank you for your comments: My objective is to achieve a 60 degree stereo field. In my experience, when you increase the speaker-to-speaker spacing much above 30 degrees the dilation of the central images (the "hole-in-the-middle" effect) is clearly apparent. I can't see how a better DAC could...

I hope that members will be interested in an idea I have for widening the stereo field produced from conventional stereo recordings. I have developed a computer model which indicates that four speakers placed in an arc thirty degrees apart could achieve a stereo field up to sixty degrees wide...

One option that no one seems to have suggested is the use of a sub-woofer? Not specifically to extend the bass (though that is not ruled out) but to give you more flexibility in room placement. You said that it is impractical to move the main speakers, so move the bass?

DIN connectors are not just a different plug/socket, they (should) have different characteristics. Like, the DIN line signal level was 100mV into a 100K Ohm load. That said, it was commonplace at one time for manufacturers to ignore this. So unless you can track down a manual for the unit you...
