Thanks for the replies. I'm after a CD player as all the tracks on my iPod are low quality and I feel I would not get the full benefits of a dedicated DAC. Due to a minor error when backing up all I have is the link to My Music and not the folder itself, the 7 year old laptop with the higher...

As the title really, I currently have a NAD C326BEE and Wharfdale Diamond 9.1 on a pair of stands. At the moment I mostly use my iPod through the headphone socket into one of the inputs but the time has come to buy a CD player. I have approx £300 to spend and would like recommendations as to...

Not sure if this should be in here or the hifi section as it concerns both, so feel free to move it/tell me off as appropriate. Basically I have an Onkyo one box home cinema (ht r380 receiver and associated speakers) and a hi fi consisting of an NAD C 326BEE amp and Wharfdale speakers...

Thanks for those systems, I'll have a read up on them after the FA cup has finished. "It's difficult to get demos of the more budget end stuff so I can appreciate it might be difficult to get balanced opinion online" Unfortunately I have a very slow internet dongle connection so trawling...

As title really. After a 5.1 system for £300, could perhaps stretch to a little more if a real bargain were recommended. It will be for use with a PS3 and Sky HD, not fussed whether it includes a blu-ray player as I currently use my PS3. Smallish speakers are a must really as I only have a small...

Yeah I love them too, for a budget system its such an incredible step up from what I thought were decent sounding pc speakers Found a set of Atacama SE6 for what seems a reasonable price, are these recommended for use with my speakers?

Ok, found a few possibles but another (possibly stupid question)... Does the top of the speaker stand need to be the same size as the speaker or is it ok to have a smaller platform as long as the speaker will be stable. The reason I ask is I've found some close by for £30 but the top is 6.5"...

I'll look into that, was reluctant to use the internet initially due to the dimensions of the speaker but the paper idea will be enough to give me an approximate size Time for me to start trawling through the inevitable hundreds of results now. Thanks for the advice

Hi everyone, Bought my first system this weekend, Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers and an Onkyo cr525 with an ipod dock and I'm currently loving the sound. However, as I stretched myself finanicially I couldn't afford any stands straight away, I'd like some advice on which budget speaker stands...

Hi everyone, looking at creating my first AV system, want an amp and speaker package to connect to my PS3. I have a budget of around £700 and for that would like to find an offer comprising everything right down to cables. Would be looking at upgrading the PS3 for a dedicated blu ray player in...
