    Is FM Radio Signal Getting Worse?

    I’m not even sure whether my M-CR610 is DAB+, although to be honest I tend to just use it for the sound off my LG 43” TV. My listening habits have changed recently and tend to use my NR1200 for radio in a different room.

    Question B&W 607 . Worth upgrading to?

    Hello Everybody. I was able to pop in to Richer Sounds last Thursday with an appointment.. They really are very helpful and very knowledgable. I came out very happy and have just ordered the Focal Aria 906 after hearing them. They sound amazing on my amp at home and deliver astounding bass...

    Question B&W 607 . Worth upgrading to?

    I tried to upload a picture but it failed, twice.. it was two rooms but now I've had the wall taken out to make one big room. I might have over egged the dimensions a bit, (15m x 20m not 25m) but it's still a huge room. I'm not sure of the wattage of the PM6006 but have only ever had the volume...

    Question B&W 607 . Worth upgrading to?

    Thank you for replying . I do have headphones and as this is my HiFi for listening to when I'm not working it doesn't need to fill the whole room. It's a good thing I'm in a detached old Edwardian house. What other speakers would you recommend ? I absolutely LOVE my Dali IO6 Headphones, and...

    Question B&W 607 . Worth upgrading to?

    Hello. I'm moving rooms in my house into a bigger room. 15m (50ft) by 25m (82ft). My Hifi will be moving as well but I'm also considering doing un upgrade. With auditioning speakers a problem, due to covid-19 restrictions, I'm looking to upgrade to sound staging and for the new bigger room...

    Dali IO-6 or not? I have found a good price for these.. Are they Better than Bose QC35 ?

    I got the headphones now, they sound absolutely amazing, and worth every penny. They are a little bigger and the cups are round, not like the Bose qc35. Also I think they could also be Bluetooth 5 as the range does seem to be better.

    Dali IO-6 or not? I have found a good price for these.. Are they Better than Bose QC35 ?

    Thanks for the advice. It’s a little difficult to try them because of the ongoing situation with restrictions at the mo. I am assuming that they would be much better than my 1st Gen Bose QC35 and have better Bluetooth, for me that would be the killer !

    Dali IO-6 or not? I have found a good price for these.. Are they Better than Bose QC35 ?

    Only from what I have read on here, after talking with Richer Sounds yesterday. Im trying to keep away from those infamous Beats headphones, only the Dali do look comfy from the pictures I've seen

    Question What's your favorite shop for hi-fi equipment?

    I'm very happy with Richer Sounds. They are very helpful and I really appreciate that, plus they don't mind at all that I'm not always buying stuff from them all the time, although most of the time I do anyway! They even suggested I contact you folks on here yesterday when I phoned about the...

    Dali IO-6 or not? I have found a good price for these.. Are they Better than Bose QC35 ?

    I have an old Bose QC35 which are falling apart, and am considering the Dali IO-6 since they are reasonably comfy for me. Are they any better in sound ? My speakers at home now are Dali Opticon 2 anyway.

    Question New Headphones! Advice please! Dali IO-6 ?

    Hello everybody on here. I would appreciate some help in deciding about Noise Cancelling headphones. I have a really old pair of Bose QC35 (mk 1) which are starting to show signs of wear and tare🥵, have had them for a long time now. I'm tempted to get the Dali IO-6 headphones but unsure if they...

    Digital Sound from new iMac

    Hello there everyone. I have recently changed my iMac to the new iMac 5k 2017 version. However I have noticed that Apple have taken away the digital signal from the headphone socket that I used to use to get sound into my Marantz PM6006 s/pdif IN at the back. I tried using normal headphone to...

    Onkyo vs Pioneer

    Hello As someone who is now in his 40s.. (yrs wise!) I have been brought up with listening to vinyl at home on old direct drive players such as the Sansui FR-D35 or D55 (in my signature) which belongs to my parents and at friends places which mainly consist of Technics SL1210 models. I am...

    Adding components to system

    I'm not bothered if it's not new.. What should I look out for? I've got a few on my watch list on eBay. The only reason I would get one is purely for playing cds on car stereo and to use downstairs on other Hifi.

    Dual released new turntables, any thoughts ?

    I have been giving a massive load of vinyl to go through and keep any if I like them, but my old Sansui is showing its age. I have now updated my Hifi in my study which is where I tend to do most of my listening. The Sansui is downstairs on the Denon Hifi in the front music practice room.
