Thanks for your replies with the music I listen to mainly rock and metal I'll stick with the Roksan

I've been offered an Arcam A85 in mint condition, would this be a better choice than my current Kandy K2? I love my Roksan and wouldn't want to downgrade

if you listen to Megadeth, Metallica, Alice in Chains and Slayer my system is perfect

Don't be fooled by reviews the Yamaha AS500 is an amazing amplifier for the money and perfect for rock and metal music. I listen to a lot of metal and rock and the Yamaha is brilliant its got lots of power and never goes bright, it's also got a sub out so in future you could also add a sub if...

So can i use this Nexus now with an external dac like the dac magic?

thanks for the reply it looks likes i might be better just getting a netbook or a cheap laptop to connect to a dac?

Hello I am planning on replacing my ipod touch which i had a PURE I-20 Dock/Dac i used. I want to purchase a 32 gig Nexus 7 but could i use say a Cambridge Audio Dac Magic to connect it to my stereo amp for good sound?

Thanks for the reply Rod so you have no hissing from your unit what so ever?

Just shows how we all have different ears.... I thought the Rega system sounded harsh and bright i had to walk out because it was hurting my ears! i thought the Marantz and Castle combination was amazing sounded brilliant to me i love the Castle Knight 2 speakers....

Ok went to the Manchester show today was awsome spent a good 6 hours i heard some impressive stuff and not so. Some of the stuff that stood out to me were one, the Castle Knight speakers especially the Knight 2's they sounded amazing and at half the price what a bargain... Didn't like the Rega...

Yep i purchased a Yamaha AS500 a few months back and i was blown away with the performance amazing value trounces anything below £500.00

got to post a comment here, i have a CD17 after upgrading from my Sony DVPS7700 dvd/cd player and the difference was amazing. I also listen to rock and metal and the CD17 is perfect has a nice bassy rich sound.... people who are saying its an average cd player or not a good one are wrong.....

yep i'm in manchester is it black :)

thanks for the reply, i have owned many amps new and second hand the most expensive being the Arcam A85 and the Yamaha to my ears sounds better than the Arcam, i'd love to know the Yamaha's limitations? i'm confident this has won awards for many good reasons...
