    My bundle

    That amp looks gorgeous.

    Surprisingly disappointing

    Using 'Do Not Disturb' mode will sort out that little issue and can be tailored to let specific calls/texts disturb you (if you were worried about certain important callers etc). (At least you can with Android. Imagine Apple is similar).

    Line-In Connection Query

    What phone do you have? This can be answered once we know the above but… Does the phone have Bluetooth? Does the phone have a headphone socket? (Connecting from the headphone socket on the phone to the input on the Ruark via 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack)

    LDAC is generally supported by Android and a quick Google suggests the S22 does support it. 😊

    Mix Tape - HiFi Systems on film and TV.

    McIntosh in ‘The Departed’.

    Would a HiFi setup sound better than a home cinema setup for music?

    Do you also plan on integrating those speakers into the surround set up? If so, then ideally you need to run the MCACC to calibrate it all. Once set up you can simply put it in stereo mode (this still keeps the MCACC settings) or Pure Direct (disables the MCACC settings) and see which way...

    Mix Tape - HiFi Systems on film and TV.

    That will be good. Here is the brief shot. (Let’s not talk about how long it took me to find it! 😂)

    Mix Tape - HiFi Systems on film and TV.

    Two that spring to mind for me: 1. Diddy's character in 'Get Him To The Geek' has a pair of white Meridian DSP8000 speakers. 2. In 'Reacher' Neagley also has some Meridian speakers, possibly DSP7200.

    Bluetooth is a limiting factor but there are a couple of things to check. 1. Quality of what you are listening too - are you using a music service like Spotify etc. If so, have you ensured the audio quality is at the highest setting? 2. Audio codec - given you have an Android phone and Sony...

    Is this on a laptop/PC? I only access the site via iPad and mobile and never get the pop-up. (At least, it has never popped up once I sorted it the first time).

    Who's your favourite Star Trek Captain?

    Love Star Trek. Favourite captain is Picard but favourite series is DS9. Love all Star Trek really apart from Discovery (from season 3). Perhaps, like TOS it's ahead of its time and we will appreciate all the crying/emotional scenes in 10 years time.

    Question Melomania p100 vs Sony XM4

    I've not listened to either but I do have the XM5 and they are rather good. . The review of the P100 was not great: https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/cambridge-audio-melomania-p100 Compared to the award winning XM4: https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/sony-wh-1000xm4

    Question How well positioned are your loudspeakers?

    Sacrilege! 😂 Personally, I would look at a TV unit big enough to house the separates so that you can get rid of the stand blocking the right speaker. (Although this could prove awkward for vinyl playback). But, if you are considering ditching the Home Cinema side of things, perhaps you can...

    Not connecting via optical out....

    What is the reason for connecting it to the WiiM? Are you trying to see if the WiiM (having a newer DAC) sounds better? If so, (and assuming the WiiM just passes the analogue signal through), connecting RCA will just bypass the DAC. I recently connected my Kenwood CD player to my Marantz amp...

    Review New to me speakers

    Not seen that finish until Googling ‘Tigers Eye’’. Looks quite nice.
