So, just got back from the HIFI store. I took my CM7s and auditioned Rotel A11 Tribute, Rega Brio, Rega Elex-R and Naim 5si. There was a huge difference between to Rega Brio and the Rotel A11, the latter sounding flat, harsh and we needed to crank up the volume relatively high to get some...

Appointment next Monday at the dealer. Taking my speakers and auditioning Rotel A11, Rega Brio, Rega Elex-R and Nad C368. Will keep you posted! :)

Something that has been on my mind for a very long time and interested to hear the general view on this: as a relic from past times I have always kept my Technics SL1210 MKII as the turntable of choice in my system. Did an upgrade of the cartridge (Ortofon) but that's basically it. How would...

I am very closely looking at the Rega Elex-R. I had a chat on the phone with my dealer who recommended them to power the CM7s, so I will try to give that a listen once I can. I mostly listen to my vinyl collection so I don't really need too many digital connections. Streaming would be nice but...

So, can I just ask why you think the Marantz is a good combination with the B&WCM7? I have heard it before but I am just curious...

That's an interesting comment on PlayFi, I wasn't aware of that. Good to know! I might as well concentrate on an amp first and add a streamer later. So that opens up the debate, right? Looking at a decent amp to pair with my B&W CM7s, what else could be a good marriage for anything around...

Hello! And thanks for the warm welcome! I am looking at buying a new amp not used, budget under 1000€. Sources: Technics turntable SL1210 MKII, NAD phone preamp, NAD C525 CD player. I was actually charmed by the review of the Audiolab 6000A Play which has a built-in streamer, but I am still...

I've been reading some posts on the forum about this but with the new amps that have entered the market, I would like to repost the question. I am looking for an amp to partner with my 10y-old B&W CM7s. They have been coupled to a NAD315bee, but the amp has been showing signs of fatigue...
