    Question upgrading from all in one to separate amp and streamer

    Hi all. I'm currently using a Rega P2 running through an original Naimuniti (2009). I'm upgrading the TT to a Rega P6 - pending upcoming demo. ideally, i'd like to replace the Uniti but i want to go for a separate Amp and streamer. I like the Naim sound and will probably go for the Nait XS3. no...

    Bookshelf circa 2k

    Thanks all for the input. i have not yet purchased speakers. however, i swapped the ATC SCM7s for B&W 684 floor standers that i had upstairs and upgraded the cartridge to the Rega Elys2. Also got an Atacama HiFi rack. Sound quality has jumped considerably with these upgrades. i will still...

    Upgrade time SCLX-57 or RXA-2020

    Has it really been 4 years since I bought the denon avr2310? well it's time to upgrade I feel, and as you can see I've narrowed the field to to the above mentioned Pioneer and Yamaha. the added features on both are very impressive and I definitely need the dlna/airplay streaming capabilities...

    ATC SCM7

    Had a demo on Thursday and was suitably impressed. Considering my (quite) small listening room, and the fact they will be positioned very close to the wall, they are ideal for me in both sound and budget. Now don't laugh but I've been using Dali Lektor 2s with my Uniti from day one so the ATCs...

    ATC SCM7

    thanks for the feedback folks. I am getting a demo next week of the SCM 7s next week with a Uniti before i purchase. Ideally i would like to go for the PMC DB1Is but its impossible to find anyone who supplies them over here (Dublin) and they are a little out of my price range at this point. In...

    ATC SCM7

    hi just wondering why there are no reviews of ATC speakers on the site? I am looking to purchase a pair of SCM 7s to partner a NaimUniti. Has anyone tried this combo? thanks in advance

    AVA Media rip n play

    Just to update. Apart from streaming to the Uniti I can now access the Rip n Play library from anywhere on my iPad/phone using the subsonic app. Also extremely easy to set up. I'm playing music on another system through Airport Express via AirPlay. I love it when these things just work :)

    AVA Media rip n play

    Well my Rip n Play arrived yesterday and I can quite honestly say I'm amazed. It just does exactly what it's supposed to do ( which in my experience is not allways the case) It was connecteted to the server and powered up in 2 minutes and took 4 minutes to rip my first cd inc artwork. So within...

    AVA Media rip n play

    Hi guys I am interested in purchasing an AVA Media rip n play to store my cd collection and serve my NaimUniti. I presume they are compatible - maybe someone can correct me on this. I have gone down the NAS route before with the Synology DS 211J but after I eventually got it working and...
