Unsure whether this is the right place to post, but here goes. I want to use a Fire TV Stick to play back Spotify (Connect) from my phone into an amplifier (presently, the Fire Stick is plugged into the back of a Panasonic TV; I can take RCA/phono plugs out of the back of the TV into an amp...

I've been running a pair of Ceol Piccolos over a wired network for a couple of years. When they works, they work great, but a lot of the time they don't work at all. The app is useless, so much so that it's been a case of formulating workarounds (different apps etc.)

I used to own an Alpha 8 plus an 8P power amp about ten years ago; used to bi-amp into some B&Ws. It was a nice setup but in truth didn't work well for me. I'd be listening to something like Nine Inch Nails and it would just make everything a little too smooth for my ears! P

A few years back I put together a lively enough hi-fi of used components for use in our extension at home; it was a second system, so I set myself a modest budget of £100 a unit and came in under that, which pleased me no end. Sadly this morning my amp - a very old Kenwood 3020SE that I picked...

Well, it looks like the Denon 1911 could be the winner here. Cheers for your help lads. P

I can see his point about saving money...he and his wife around about 80% through a massive extending/remodelling of their house and he thought that he could simply route a 3D-BD player into a twelve year old CRT without any problem! He just wants a den where he can watch a film in comfort and...

I've been asked to help a mate install a 3D home cinema set up. (I know what you're thinking, but no 'my mate' isn't me!) At the present time the 3D compenents he's purchased are a Samsung 50" TV and a Sony BDP-S570. He'd already asked for receiver advice...he's seen/heard/likes my Onkyo...

I've got a pair of Panasonic TVs (42" plasma and 37" LCD) and have been following the whole iPlayer upgrade story on a handful of websites over the last few months. My thoughts on the iPlayer? I look at it once in a while online. I suppose, yes, it will be nice to have your TV actually...

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but I can't find a solution. Very briefly, Sony BDP350 sits in the lounge, no wireless connectivity and want to take up BD Live options on a few BDs. Broadband is in box room upstairs. BT Hub. Have unplugged hub a couple of times and reconnected near...

I'm thinking about the Q Acoustics 1010i 5.1 package - the main sticking point here is that our 42" plasma sits on a long, lowish wood unit and I have no floor space in the general locale for floor stands for the front left/right. I know QA make a wall mount bracket, but I'm reluctant to wall...

Hi Clare Thanks for the reply...it was just the answer I was looking for. I want to declutter more than anything else - I'm running an Arcam DV78 for everything right now...I might just take it with me when I purchase the screen (probably a 42" Kuro) to see how it checks out and maybe hold...

Within a couple of months I'll be upgrading my system - plasma/amp/DVD, the works. With the Blu-Ray/HD battle pretty much over, I shall be going for Blu-Ray but need to know something that I can find scant data about on the web. Presently my DVDs are split 50/50 region 1 and region 2. I'm...
