Recently aquired a new Cyrus cd based system after learning that id require BFC banana plugs to connect my speakers to the Cyrus 8 amp thought id alleviated any set up problems . I have however created one lol . Can ayone tell me how to get the "easy slip" plastic cover off the metal plug so i...

I'm sure they will say that the M2 is the best at £1900......obviously if I could hear both that would clinch it but I live up in Scotland so its a fair old way to hear a cd......having read the review if the K3 on here it certainly sounds great and its brand new ....just hope the display and...

Now more confused......HiFix who are supplying the B&W speakers are offering the new K3 to me for £800 thats a 1300 player also with the newest tweeks and it looks stunnning to boot......I'm thinking thats got to be the best deal......

I suppose the real crux is I want a brand new shiny Caspian M2, which I toyed with but would my K2 amp do it justice ?.....probably not and I certainly cant afford 4k for the amp and cd player.....spanner in the works....there is a Music fidelity X-ray cdp on ebay for £275......??

Thanks for the replies guys, really was hoping someone who had heard a caspian and a kandy would weigh in, at 300 its not a huge investment and my new B&W CM10s should give me some improvement to the sound of the set up. I love the look of the new K3 but even at the new lower price of £895 its a...

Current cd set up is Roksan Kandy K2 amp and cd player with MS Mezzo 6 speakers, upgrading speakers to B&W CM10 have an option on a Roksan Caspian MKI cd player for £300, would this be an improvement I could easily hear over the K2 my other option is the new K3 at £895.....the reason for...

Did you change the disc layer stting to' multi 'on the front of the player before putting in the SACD ?

Further to may last thread having now established that my Roksan Kandy K2's phono stage is faulty and the unit is not under guarantee, I am now looking for recommendations for a suitable phono amp for my Radius 5 and Denon DL160 homc cartridge......I am looking in the £150-300 range and my...

Thanks for that BBB didn't know there was an automatic 5 year warranty on the Roksan......I bought it from Peter Tyson Hifi(Hifix their online shop)...back in june 09 so I'm just within the 5 years.......just wondering though in your dealings with Roksan did you have to cover postage costs for...

Yup.....tried the old Rega P2 on the Kandy....no bass, vocals all hissy/ distorted.....so definitely the phono stage.....checked all other inputs on the amp all perfect.....so new phono stage is next step....so glad I kept that old K9 was about to spend on a new mm cartridge. Looking at phono...

Tried an old Linn K9 that I had replaced on the Axis....exactly the same....was getting seriously frustrated.....up for trying anything now.....I have my Kandy connected to my Yamaha RX-V1900 home Theatre amp on the bypass connection....so the Kandy controls the front speakers, but when the Yam...

The K2 phono stage is MM only...

Thanks for the help, I have no preamp, but used this cartridge for a couple of years with no issues with my Linn Axis and the K2, checked all connections the blue input wire to cart is not the best of connections a bit loose, but surely that would not effect it to this degree, went back over the...

Just set up a newly aquired Radius 5 I aquired off e-bay......I am using it with a Denon DL-160 high output MC cartridge, its paired with my Kandy K2 amp and MS Mezzo 6 speakers, after the lengthy set up process I put on my first record to say I'm disappointed is an understatement it sounds...

Looking to replace my glass/metal racks with something wooden preferably oak....need 8 shelves so looking for 2 x 4 shelf racks.....can anyone recommend a site that sells them that doesn't cost the earth....or indeed makes them to order.....
