    New speaker Time... discreet quality required

    Should have said I live in Edinburgh so Audio T (i'd never heard of them) are out of the question - and as I said, I have RS vouchers.

    New speaker Time... discreet quality required

    The time has come for me to look at purchasing speakers to complete my hifi set up. Very exciting and i've spent the last couple of weeks (years actually *ROFL*) rigorously researching. The room in generally 3m wide x 8m long, ceiling is bog standard modern build height of roughly 2.3m. We have...

    Pesky kids

    I was looking at cabinets with doors but the ones that fit in with our lounge were beyond budget... managed to get a really nice one on gumtree for £80. Just need to protect what's on the shelves for a couple of years now. Hence I was looking to see if there's any kind of protective face plates...

    Pesky kids

    It's OK majorfubar, I'm a twin so feel for you ;O) Fwiw, our 7 year old has been brought up extremely well and we're well on the road to bringing the 1.5 year old up the same way... Maybe you missed the decimal point there? She's a lovely wee happy smiley thing but at 16 months old, doesn't...

    Pesky kids

    We have a nice polite 7 year old and a crazy maniac 1.5 year old. My hifi unit doesn't have a door on it so I resort to covering the front of my gear with the cloth bag that my CXC came in. Does anyone know of any separates fascia covers that could maybe protect my gear when not in use that...

    Ripp-off Hifi

    This all makes me glad I bought "budget"! To my ears my kit sounds great so far and I've not even got decent speakers yet!

    Yamaha cd-nt 670D - why no reviews? Anyone got one?

    Really interested in this network cd player, but there's really no opinion of it on the Web. Would really like to know opinions on the sound quality of the Cd player and the build quality. I had gone out to purchase a Cambridge 651c but they're gone. Would the sound quality match that?

    Cambridge Audio Min22 and woofer, or some decent bookshelf speakers?

    Hi, I am looking to improve the speaker end of my HiFi set up. I have a Project Debut Carbon turntable and CA Azur 651a amplifier. I can run my digital collection through the 651a so the CD player can wait until I've upgraded the speakers. My current speakers are around 20 years olf from my...

    USB Audio Cable Length and CD player question.

    Thanks for the replies... all very helpful. Airport looks a good option. Do i just connect the airport to the Amp using the USB cable and connect it to the WiFi in the house? This would be great as would mean I can just get the CA Azur CD player as well.

    USB Audio Cable Length and CD player question.

    I have a CA Azur 651a in one corner of my lounge/dining area. In the hall, I have a desk with my iMac. It's not possible to move them any closer to each other. I would love to be able to connect the iMac to my 651a using a decent USB Audio cable, but have been told that longer cables pose...

    Hi - new here

    Hi everyone, Happy New Year and hope everyone had a great Christmas! I was lucky enough to be gifted for Christmas a new turntable to play my old vinyl on. Most of my collection is 90s indie and house music. Turntable is a Project Debut Carbon. I've since splashed out on Cambridge Audio Azur...
