    Kralk Audio

    Thanks for the reply Timpd. I have been in correspondence with Alan at Kralk and he confirms that with the sub woofer stand it will go down to 20 Hz. Anyhows they are exhibiting at the North West audio show later this month so I will try to get there and have a listen.

    Heed Elixir

    The reviewer describes it as something akin to a Brio killer. I must say that I am smitten by it but need to justify to myself the £750 cost.

    Heed Elixir

    Need (want?) To get a replacement for my ageing 8000A amp. Was thinking a while ago about getting a Quad Vena but held on. I am happy with the sound from the DAC in my Bluesound so don't need an amp/DAC combo. Speakers are B&W 686's Anyone heard the Elixir, I have seen a good review by Paul...

    Gone and done it! - Bluesound Node

    Hi Leeps, it's the first control app I have used and have nothing to compare it against, but after an initial 15 minutes or so playing around with it I find it easy enough to use. I like the ability to see track details etc. but I guess most apps like this will do a similar thing? Artwork-wise...

    Gone and done it! - Bluesound Node

    Well, what a good choice I made; compaired to the 5 yr old DacMagic the Node replaces, the differences are easily discernable. The sound stage is wider, the positioning of instruments is more precise, the treble is clearer and more detailed. The bass is also tightened up and more controlled. It...

    Gone and done it! - Bluesound Node

    After much deliberation and hand-wringing I have bought a QNAP NAS device and a Bluesound Node music player. For the time being I will keep the Audiolab 8000A until funds permit something more modern. Setting up the QNAS I found to be a pain in the arris possibly because I am not that 'puter...

    Quad Vena?

    After much deliberation I am on the verge of making a purchasing revision but would be delighted with any comments from the Forum. My music is now in the form of CD ripped FLAC files and 24/96 FLAC files residing on my other half's laptop. I have a new pair of B and W S686 S2s. I want to get a...

    Tablet for HRA playback - Am I barking up the wrong tree?

    So you reckon, Another Joe, that if I get a lollipop enabled tablet I should be able to play gapless FLAC files into an outboard DAC? Personally I would prefer that option to either a NAS or network player.

    Tablet for HRA playback - Am I barking up the wrong tree?

    Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes..... Can I play FLAC files on a Samsung Tab4 (or similar), routing the signal by wire into something like the Quad Vena? Seemed like a reasonable proposition to me but a salesman in a local Hi Fi shop seemed to think it wouldn't work; took...

    Hello (2nd attempt)

    Just a brief introduction (1st attempt took some time but did not appear for some reason) I'm back in the world of Stereo after a few years in the world of surround sound. I'm looking to upgrade my current amplification and DAC (Audiolab 8000A and Cambridge Audio DacMagic)
