Three favourites, all new 180grm pressings Freddie Mercury's Barcelona Hugh Laurie's Let Them Talk Queen II

Here's a review. Bought mine last week from Richer Sounds. It rocks. Buy one now. Sell one of your children if you have to. I thought 4K on Amazon or Netflix was pretty good. This is in a different league. Just sat through the latest three Star Treks and the LEGO movie. Most impressive to the...

For speakers that good I'd go with the Roksan Blak amp. I've got one with the silver 6 speakers. The Gold ones are simply awesome

Borrow my wife to talk to yours. My wife was not impressed by wires or big-arse speakers until did a compare and contrast with wireless diddy ones. She has bashed up a few of my mates' wives to getting proper systems. She wont thank me for quoting an hourly rate for her to do this so I'd say...

For that setup given the investment you've made, I would go for a Roksan Blak CD player

Hehe. Didn't spot that. Damned auto correct. Yes, it was the Beautiful Blue Danube. Thanks for the steer - I will check that one out. And maybe an audiobook on typing skills too!

Long shot but I'm looking for a vinyl pressing of the able Danube. Has anyone got any recommendations as to a good version? It may go some way to getting my wife to allow me to visit a hifi shop again!

Thanks guys - all interesting comments. Personally I did not know whether the different cables would make a difference. If the pro-upgrade view was correct in that it had a effect on the CD player - be it the clock or anything else - then there should be a difference in the output. There isn't...

Ok so as promised I have done a power cable test that does not rely on the ear. The principle at test was this: A CD player will read the disc and transmit what it reads as a digital stream. The receving unit will then do something with that. In the case of a DAC it will convert it to an...

It does sound like a grounding problem to me - although I see that you have grounded it. One possibility is that the ground connection point on inside of the sub has come lose. Might be worth unscrewing and having a look

I second the Denon

Wow - £ per gram makes these pretty pricey! Having had a look at a few reviews, would you suggest jumping right up to one that costs several hundred (Nagaoka or Ort Black) or try out the Bronze first? And yes, you're all on my list now.

Went with the Oppo PM1 in the end. Awesome. Thank you for the steer

So I am a subscriber to the law of dismissing returns when you start spending money on upgrades but that doesn't stop me looking. One area that is not as flamed as cables is cartridges which can be aneurism inducingly expensive. Question is therefore as you price up are they worth it? I'm...

Ooo. Doug, you are officially on my **** list. That looks cool and my inner magpie is struggling with the buy it now button on Amazon Prime
