I am ranting somewhat! I am loving the sound at the moment. The Arcams are lovely together. It amazes me as they are around 15 years old, and they sound as fresh as a daisy. Simple yet effective and sizeable.

I have the V4's driven by Bi amped Alpha 9's. I haven't heard the More expensive models but I am very happy with the sound and play classical frequently on my setup and they truly sing when I take the volume up. The bottom end is somewhat epic. I had previously thought that my V4's were not up...

Good point, but there has to be a limit to how small something can get. I have an 11 inch laptop that never gets used, but the 13 inch laptop is used all the time. The ipad is the smallest of the above and get used even more.... its all about application of use or intended use.

I looked across my front room the other day, and stared at my arrangement of black boxes with blue, red and green LEDs and thought to myself about what each box does and why I have it. I have two amplifiers, a CD player, a network audio player, and a DAC, all shelved in a custom built rack and...

I think it has now just been confirmed what I already knew in keeping the Amplifiers, I am very attached to them. Changing the speakers will be a new venture in my quest for Hi-Fi perfection, a previous poster mentioned these speakers: Focal 714V, Monitor Audio RX6, PMC GB1i, Tannoy DC6, any...

I am happy with having the extra unit, but only if there is a benefit to it. Also I don't want to be wasting power for only a very minut improvement, if its only a couple of watts I'm not bothered, but if its 200W extra in power consumption then it might make me think twice about having the...

I have the Arcam Alpha 9 and 9P. Bi-amped to Tannoy v4's via a Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus. I like these amplifiers for many reasons, they are unassuming in design, simple to use, and they seem to have endless amounts of power that is clear and crisp. Thats all great, but there are a few...

looks nice, will be interesting to see how it performs

I did a factorty reset, which started off better, but it soon went back to cutting out. I am going to do a bit of research on the Denon's delay timing, this could be why its dropping out all the time, I believe that most Network players have a 2 second delay for receiving data, to ensure smooth...

It's connected through an ethernet switch, I will bypass this and run a cable directly to the router, but I'm not confident it will make any difference, but I'm willing to try anything at the moment :) Thanks

Macinthebox Thanks for the response. It's a completely wired and managed network, so no wireless bridging in my house, I recently rewired the electrics in my house and thought it would be a good idea to install ethernet in every room seeing as I had the floorboards up anyway. In short every...

I have had the Denon DNP720AE Network player for about 6 months now, and have been struggling with connecting the internet radio. It keeps cutting out. Also the connection to my NAS is slow, and this also cuts out. A month ago I went out and bought a Cambridge Audio NP30, this was purchased for...

Has anybody used Kontak cleaning fluids for interconnects and the likes? www.kontakaudio.com. I feel I'm getting sucked into the marketing a little bit, and wanted to know if anyone had used this stuff.
