Yeah, playing CD's and maybe the odd file from USB at most. I might add a NAS at some point since I'm ripping my collection to flac. Thanks for the help. Gary.

As simple as that ? Excellent. Thanks for the prompt and concise reply, just the info I needed. Gary.

Hi all, I've just bought a new stereo for the sitting room (CA 351C, CA 651A, KEF Q300) and my wife would like to be able to drift betwwen there and the kitchen, listening to the same music. I've always been tempted to try Sonos but never needed to until now. My router is in the sitting room...

Not necessarily released this year but bought this year: Mumford & Sons - Sigh No more (I adore this album, can't stop listening to it) Plan B - The Defamation of Strickland Banks (having heard his first album, I was stunned by his voice and the musicallity of this album) Elbow - Build a...

I have a media player that supports AAC, WAV, WMA, MP3 and OGG. Is there a form of FLAC that is OGG compatible ? I plan on ripping my CD collection to HD to stream via my Marantz M-CR603, but I'd also like to copy this to my media player and play from while I'm working offshore. Is there any...

Is it possible within iTunes to have music in one location (netbook harddrive) and TV shows/film in another location (external USB harddrive) ? If so, how is it accomplished ? Thanks

FrankHarveyHiFi:Which KEF's do you currently own? I have a pair of Q1's, in which my three yr-old has kindly podged in the aluminium tweeter cover. Little bugg3r. It's kind of messed up the sound-staging and the treble sounds a little flat. I rang KEF and they said it only costs around £40 per...

A-Z, ignoring "The", then chronological within artist. Artists with numbers go by the first letter of that number (808 State = E). Various after the Z's in alphabetical then Classical in alphabetical then Jazz in alphabetical. I use first names not surnames, to keep it in sync with iTunes. New...

Hi David, thanks for the advice. Which of these you mentioned dig deep bass-wise ? My concern is that I'm currently using a set of KEF Q1 on Atacama Nexus stands and, although I love the stereo imaging they present and the bass is clear as a bell, they really do lack extension. I'm looking for...

I've heard good things about the Rotel 1520 combo and I love the look of them. As for speakers, I'm open to suggestions. I mainly listen to rock (British Sea Power, Kings of Leon, the foo's etc) but also have a love of stuff from Zero7, Elbow and others like them. I also occasionally listen...

I've recently left the armed forces where I had my hearing tested every six months. My left ear beats the test hands-down while my right ear struggles to pick up the very highest frequencies at the lowest volume in the test. All in all, my hearing was described as "almost perfect". I find my...

Does anybody know anything ? I recently enquired about a set of iQ90's in the walnut wood veneer and was told that KEF didn't have any left as they were making room for new stock of the revised range which was set to come out this month. Any details leaked ?

Is there no way to get audio from usb on the ps3 ?

Will the NuForce uDAC work with my PS3 ? I work offshore for 5 weeks at a time and since I store most of my movies and recorded tv on my PS3 slim, this DAC would be ideal for me as it's also a headphone amp. However, I have mis-givings about whether it will work. I know it will work with a...

I'd love to hear how this compares to the Nuforce uDAC. There's quite a price difference ! These things are ideal for me as I work offshore for 5 weeks at a time with only my iPod and netbook for music. One of these partnered to my Denon AHD1001's and iTunes Lossless will tide me over until I...
