    Burning in hifi components

    The blurb with my Abrahamsen amp and CD player tells me to 'burn it in' for 96 hours. I asked Abrahamsen about this and they say it can be done at an hour a time, any volume or setting but eventually I will notice quite a difference. Can anyone comment on this? It sounds strange! I would be...

    Abrahamsen amplifiers

    I would be struggling to remember now however I am referring to an amp + CD player in this reference. I did listen to an awful lot after I first posted in September! And thanks to you as you were one of the people who recommended Abrahamsen!

    Abrahamsen amplifiers

    Many thanks to Electro and others who pointed me towards Abrahamsen Audio for an amp to compliment my Tannoy D700 speakers. In the end I bought the V1.0 upgrade CD player and the V2.0 grade amp. I spent a lot of time listening to alternatives and nothing in that price bracket comes remotely...

    Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0

    Hm, I wonder how important they are? My speakers are not absolutely equidistant from the listening position and I can't make them due to shape of room. I use the balance to compensate (slightly). Tone controles I could probably live without - although it is useful as your ears get older!! Anyone...

    Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0

    A question for Burnsie ! Does the amp have any speaker balance function? It would be helpful to list what controles there are available as the website doesn't list much. Much appreciated!!

    Samsung H7000 46inch

    Does anyone have any opinion on this TV? Has the synchro problem on Samsungs been fixed? Any suggested alternatives? i want a really good screen (also to view photos on) but not interested in 3d. Having said that it appears difficult to get a good screen without 3d! I doubt 4k would make any...

    Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0

    I will be very interested to hear what Burnsie finds out about his sibilance problem and if it is the amp or something else. I wonder how pronounced it is? Is it on all music? One would hope that the Abrahamsen amp and CD player would be a perfect match for each other. I need to upgrade both so...

    Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0

    Burnside, many thanks for your post. I would be very interested to hear more when you have had more time with the amp (over the Xmas period?) and it has had more use. Do let us know what you think. You are one of the very rare people who has one!

    Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0

    Boggit , I am also in Cheltenham - well Bishops Cleeve. If you order the Abrahamsen then do post your opinion. I am realy pleased to hear from someone who has one and pleased the reports are positive. I am considering a matching amp and CD player from Abrahamsen. One would hope they would...

    Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0

    The Abrahamsen audio range are sold via Sweden so no problems with vat or import duty. Still hoping to hear from someone who has one or who is buying one! They look to be great units but I would need to know more before parting with quite a bit of money!

    Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0

    I certainly would appreciate any feedback and especially from someone who has one! I am aware of the background of Abrahamsen and they 'should' be good. Will look forward to hearing back from you when yours arrives.

    Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0

    I am interested in the Abrahamsen V2.0 amplifier but unable to find any reviews of this or any other equipment made by them. Can anyone point me in the direction of reviews? Has anyone got one? Can they comment?

    Amplifier for Tannoy D700 speakers

    I posted in this forum a while ago asking for advice on a suitable amplifier and an Abrahamsen 2.0 was recommended. I have followed this up with the Norwegian company and found they are very poor at replying to my e mails. One of my requests was to provide me with or point me in the direction of...

    Bi wired speakers

    Sorry if it sounds contradictory ! I can't tell the difference but out of 5 friends I tested this on, two thought bi wired might have been better and three thought normal use with two wires better. The consensus was that it was really difficult to tell any difference. I have been reading more...
