    AVR Front speaker pre-outs getting rarer.

    Pre-outs tend to come with higher priced (and therefore spec) receivers. Look at the Denon 2800H Vs the 3800H for example. Pretty sure it has been like this for many (many) years although it's been a good few years since I combined a home cinema and hifi in this way.

    Mu-so upgrade advice please.

    With regards to the Naim, I totally agree with how you find it. My friend has one and I was not that impressed with it. Do you still have space restraints? Ultimately this may determine what people can suggest. Out of intersect, what was the system you loved? One system I would certainly...

    Speakers to mount in corners of room

    I’ve not used the WiiM amp myself but it seems to fit the bill for what you need and it gets a lot of praise. If the speakers have to go where you say then I would certainly recommend the Monitor Audio Radius 90. I use them in my home cinema set up and in the kitchen with a Denon DM-41DAB...

    Question PM7000N Vs STEREO 70s

    What do you need to connect via HDMI (I assume a TV as you mentioned ARC)? Cannot see it being an improvement over other inputs (at least digital) if being used for stereo only. Those 1s and 0s are still gonna go through the same DAC.

    Renovating My Study

    Nice! Very unusual for interconnects to fail but at least it was that and not something more expensive to replace. I used to have the AV version of that Soundstyle rack. Looks great. Hopefully I can get hold of one again.

    Budget newbie advice

    As DG says, you can just connect the TV to the amp via HDMI. Job done on that front. The pairing should be pretty solid, certainly if this is your first foray into hifi. The Yamaha amp was well reviewed back when it was released. The only thing lacking is eARC/Atmos support (which is found in...

    System photos, post yours

    I use these for my CDs and Blu-Ray. 2 x 400 capacity ones from Amazon fit perfectly into a Kallax storage cube. 😊

    RCA interconnect over 12 meters for Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono deck to AV amp?

    Whilst I agree it's not ideal, the Amazon basics cables are pretty decent. I would get these and see how it performs. If it's no good then you could send them back. At least you will know. Could be fine. (I suspect it will be).

    The DAC scam

    Ah, but you have forgot the certainty that a first attempt at inserting a USB A device is always the wrong way. Or is that just me....😂

    Amplifier help

    Cool. So yeah, can just use the tape loop to connect it up.

    Amplifier help

    I want to say 'yes' but it's been over 30 years since I used a Graphic Equaliser. Can you add the model or pics of the back?
