    focal aria 926 your thoughts??

    I have had my 926's for three days now and love them. They still need plenty of running in but even out of the box the scale and clarity are very impressive. I am hearing things from familiar recordings for the first time and have never heard my fave tracks sound so rich and full. I just can't...

    Kef R100 with Naim Nait XS

    I suffered the same symptoms when I first used my XS. The sound was deep and full but also a bit shrill and tiresome. I then realised that I had wired my speakers wrong :oops: , Left chanel into right speaker and vice versa. It's an easy mistake to make as the output terminals are not in their...

    Just ordered myself an ND5-XS

    I'm very interested in the ND5-XS. I am wondering (as I'm starting from scratch) if a second hand Nait 5i would initially do the XS justice.

    Apple TV connections

    What is the best method of connecting the ATV to my amp? Optical or analog? Where does the D/A conversion take place? If the ATV has D/A conversion will it be better than my Sony amp? Thanks.

    Best film score?

    Philips BDP 7500 Blueray Player Freebie

    I have just received this model after buying my Philips 42" 9664 tv, it was free Does anyone know how it compares to my Sony BDPS760? Info on the web seems pretty scarce. I presume its a new model. Should I risk unpacking it to test or leave it boxed to sell on?

    How do you set up a Philips 42PFL9664 to browse PC?

    Sorted!! Updated my router software and did some blind fiddling in windows and now it works. Interestingly I contacted Philips who said the tv did not support WMP 12...... funny old world innit.

    How do you set up a Philips 42PFL9664 to browse PC?

    I'm starting to think it may be that Andrew as the manual mentions WMP 11 and I'm running 12. If so then hopefully the next software upgrade will sort it.

    How do you set up a Philips 42PFL9664 to browse PC?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I can browse my Vista based laptop but not my main Win7 PC. Most annoying.
