    Teac TN-300 - any views on this new Turntable?

    Thanks Drummerman. I have looked at the Quest/Rega updates and they look good, but as you say the cost would be a bit high (especially as I don't have a Rega to up-grade). There lies my dillema which is, do I simply stick with what I have already (the 1980's Sony or Technics which were just...

    Teac TN-300 - any views on this new Turntable?

    From what I have read the plinth is made from heavy weight MDF with (in the case of the Cherry version) a real wood veneer. As regards the tone arm TEAC's own website doesn't say, but from what I have read elsewhere the tone arm, assembly & headshell are Aluminium. It comes with an Audio...

    Teac TN-300 - any views on this new Turntable?

    Hi, does anyone have any views on, or experience with this new turntable from Teac (TN-300)? on sale at £299 from Richer Sounds. I love the looks and features but wondered whether it would be any better (sound quality wise) than my two old turntables from the 80's? Which are a Sony PS-T22...

    Can anyone list some older HDMI Receivers for me to consider?

    Hi, Sorted. I purchased an ex-display, clearance, Yamaha RX-V573 from Richer Sounds today for £149.95 :). Not yet wired it up so hopefully it all works ok. This has got everything I think I need on it and more so looking forward to setting it up and having a play.

    Can anyone list some older HDMI Receivers for me to consider?

    After a bit of searching it looks like I can pick up a yamaha rx-v573 for £170 from Richer Sounds and that has net connectivity and zone 2 speaker option which would be nice. Probably ex-demo, last in store clearance but that's ok. The denon does not have ARC so that's out. If push comes to...

    Can anyone list some older HDMI Receivers for me to consider?

    Hi Simon, Thanks, I have never used Pricerunner before, but just done a quick search and it turned up a Denon AVR-X500 at Richer sounds for £99.95 for VIP members in-store. So that's a likely option. My brand new Samsung TV only has HDMI and SPDIFAudio out and I'm using the SPDIF out for...

    Can anyone list some older HDMI Receivers for me to consider?

    Hi, I have been thinking of buying a new AV receiver ( my old Yamaha DSP-A590 has no digital inputs at all so has not been used for years). Was thinking of a Yamaha RX-V675 but not sure how much use it will get, so would prefer to get a really cheap one secondhand first with one HDMI ARC...

    Samsung UE46F8000

    I have had my TV up and running for a few days now, still getting to know all the menu's and options etc. but agree it is a great TV. As regards your Voice Control issues, as "Rocket" says above, "oldboy" had similar problems - see his post reply No3 at the very beginning of this thread. Note...

    Samsung UE46F8000

    Hi all, I'm new here as a forum member. I have been following this post for a week and thought I ought to say thanks to all who have posted on this thread. I had been looking to buy this 46inch TV for some time and was close to paying the £1,499 at Curry's. However following the advice on here...
