Hi there, Does anyone have any good or bad experiences that they could share regarding the long term reliability of Unison research all valve amps? Thanks, Oran

I dont think that more damping factor is going to fix problems of too much bass. As I understand once you get to a certain figure of damping factor a bigger number does not benefit you anymore. Some companies quote huge DF numbers but its marketing IMO. You either need a bigger room or to...

Thanks everyone for all the advice. So far I have heard the PMC twenty 5 26 which sound awesome. I also heard the Proac Response D48R which also sound great! Thanks, Oran

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could please give me some advise on choosing floorstander speakers to go with my current set up. My system currently is: Innuos Zenith music server - Chord Hugo TT - Bryston 4B 3 Now I want to find a stereo pair of loudspeakers to put on the end of all...

Thanks for all the replies. In answer to the questions: the budget is whatever it takes to get a dac that best compliments my system with going too over the top. If there are going to be any improvements in sound quality then I'm open to an analogue pre amp/volume control. However I like the...

Hi there, Which DAC would folk recommend for a PMC twenty 5 24 and Bryston 4B cubed system? Playback is from a mini Mac running J river. Has anyone got any relevant DAC experiences that they could share? Thanks,

Thanks for all the advice folks. Budget is not set in stone. My starting point is to explore the sub £1000 options. However if there is good reason to go up to the next level then I will consider that. The Abrahamsen is an interesting option which I did not know about. Im guessing that it...

Hi Al, There are a few reasons why it is (currently) those 3. They are affordable. Those 3 brands and amps have consistently got good reviews online. Im reluctant to listen to too many options as I will probably just confuse myself. 3 seems like a good number! Though having said that I am...
