    Sony TA-AN1000 AV Amp & Bluesound Node

    Evening, Andy. Mine is “Node” … just reduced on their site to £399.00. Unfortunately I’m living in a world of comprise. Awkward layout and not enough space to squeeze a lot of kit in. A decent sized family room but … The set up works around a TV and we use it for films as well as music. The...

    Sony TA-AN1000 AV Amp & Bluesound Node

    Currently, I play 'Apple Lossless' music from my iPhone 12, through a BlueSound Node that is connected to a Sony STR-DN1080 AV Receiver. I do this to benefit from the Node's superior DAC. A compromise, I know, because although I bypass the DN1080's DAC, the Amp is still a hindrance. Does...

    BlueSound 4.0 OS update - a total road crash

    Thought my speakers had developed a fault. Awful treble distortion, increased volume and general fuzziness. It took me at least ten hours, including time spent speaking without success to Monitor Audio and Apple, to look again and question a device named NodeBT that had appeared in my iPhone...

    Sony STR-DN1080 Speaker Configuration

    Monitor Audio Radius 270 Speakers

    The space I have is the issue. The Silver 200's are a viable alternative but it's getting them in without impacting the look of the room too much. I'll check out the Kef Metas.

    Monitor Audio Radius 270 Speakers

    Back in 2018 I bought a Monitor Audio Radius speaker system consisting of 2 x Radius 90 (and Radius stands), 1 x 200 Centre Speaker and 1 x 380 subwoofer. I play music as well as TV and film audio though my system. As far as I'm concerned, overall sound quality matched my realistic...

    Best AV Amp music player.

    I already have the Sony STR-DN1080 Amp connected to 4 speaker Monitor Radius speaker set up. As a music player is there a significantly better AV Amp?
