The right channel was weirdly crackely. Har to explain really. The pre-amp worked. The guy said it was a switching problem as well. Although the problems did both sound very different.

Thanks for all the responses! I assumed when he said processor he meant a microprocessor inside. I would have thought anything which processes inputs and gives outputs, such as from a remote, needs one but my electronics knowledge is very limited. He kept saying it was 'completely locked out'...

I recently brought my Rotel Ra-1060 which had a minor intermittent distortion problem to a repair shop. The problem had been there for about a year off and on and as it was mostly un-noticeable I had left it but as I had wanted to sell the amp I decided to go get it fixed. When I brought the amp...

Anyone out there?

Alright there! I have recently been considering selling my Dm600 Series S3 set up, which comprises of the dm602 S3 mains, dm601 S3 rears, and the S3 centre, in order to change to the Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 5.1 set up. This is nothing against the Dm600 series speakers, I love them, but I have...

Yes thats the one they have, I was thinking they had advertised it wrong but wasnt sure if it was an older model with the same name or a newer model with the same name. Like an S1, or S2 version. So considering that, should I be offering a different price?

Okay, think I'll give them a go, but before I tell them I want them, I was just wondering why the ones pictured in the ad look different to all the other speakers on ebay I've seen labelled with the same name? Why is it on all the others Ive seen there is a black tweeter and two white cones...

Okay, will send them a message re acoustic energy speakers although I might still bid on the q acoustics as it looks like its going to be a good deal and I have owned the 1010is and really liked them. Can always sell them if I prefer the Acoustic Energy speakers. Michael

So would you have an idea of a price which would be a good price to offer in response? Disregard delivery - I will add that to the price myself. Thanks again for any help!

Thanks for the speedy reply! Do you know much about the speakers themselves? I have a habit of not trusting speakers I cant find reviews for. Unfortunately the person has offered to deliver them if I want them, which makes viewing before purchase difficult, but I guess I could always decline...

Hi, I am currently looking at upgrading my home cinema/living room set up. Due to travel and financial restrictions I am looking at second hand and only close by. However, unfortunately there is very little currently available in my area. One of the set ups I have the possibility of purchasing...

Hi, I currently own a pair of Castle Harlech S1 speakers which I bought last year and have decided I dont really like them anymore. Their build quality is exceptional and I know they retailed for alot originally. But I am just wondering what sort of price they sell for these days as I was...

Reccommendations would be really appreciated as that is how I have obtained the current list of amps which I am looking at. I am looking at casting my net as wide as possible as being relatively new to hifi I am open to a bit of trial and error as I cant afford to buy what I new. Regards Michael

Might have a look in town at the weekend, but pretty busy at the moment. Do you know of any 2nd hand stores online?

Ah thanks, do you have any idea of value for it? Would it work well with my speakers? Or do you reckon there is better amps available for them?
