Cambridge Melomania M100s and Samsung Galaxy in-ears - of which I have and use both. Plenty other options available though and one slight drawback in the version of the M100s I have is they can drop out on occasion, but overall very stab;e with excellent clarity and good overall sound. The...

Completely forgot that my Denon DVD-3930 universal player has a 5.1 capability that handily includes a dedicated subwoofer connection, so I'm sorted for a temporary fix without having to get another preamp. The telly goes through the optical in on the DACMagic 200M so that's all good too...

So, I spotted a pair of speakers up for auction last week. The aforesaid in the thread title. Put my bid in, and by some small miracle, I won them! Picked them up today and got back home, and my word, they're really rather excellent. A smaller speaker than the ADM 9RSS I've had for the...

Bought loads over the years and generally, no complaints. Beyond the two models you mention, also consider Sony CDP-911E, or Kenwood's DP-5090, both of which should be on or under your budget and both very good.

Everything from entry level to very high end Matt, plus various talks and demonstrations. Link to the show site and the floor plan below:- https://audioshow.co.uk/#Header_wrapper https://audioshow.co.uk/visitors/floor-plan-729/

It's been this way for some time David. Tickets are free for both days.

As it stands right now, badly.

It's announced! Next year's show once again takes place at the De Vere Cranage Estate Hotel over the last weekend in June. And this time, I'm booked in at the hotel for both days. That weekend's effectively a holiday - does me the power of good!

Tough call, but the mint condition Sansui AU-217 amp, serviced and delivered for just £33 a good 15 years or slightly more ago, has to be up there. Partnered it with Mission 752s (the originals not the Freedom versions) and a Marantz SA7001-KI and that was a terrific system. Only 30w in the...

Joni Mitchell's "Blue".

The chances your phone will be a good upgrade, though this of course depends on which phone you have. I haven't used a separate player since my old iPod Nano back in 2007/8. I've found the sound quality to be excellent in phones from Samsung, Apple, Sony, Motorola and my current Honor Magic5...

Not to rain on your parade, which of course means I'm just about to (!), I'd hold hard on the cash splash and have a bit of a think. I can understand you wanting to get rid of the 63-KI - I had one some years ago and found it bloated in the bass. The later SA-7001KI was far better. Greater...

Yes, get the Analogue Productions one. Which by chance is the same one that EMI released years ago and mastered by Doug Sax. And seeing as Doug died a few years ago, whatever AP released last year wasn't "new" new. Nicer packaging though.

Better still, see what you can order online and try at home in your own room. Cambridge does 30 days trial, Richer Sounds 14 days, etc etc. Plenty of them do this. Dealers will give you their advice for sure, but nothing beats listening to new gear in your own listening space.

I'm just giving my take on the Wiim as I have it mate. It's a nice unit, but using the Wiim Pro Plus (which I bought heavily discounted) on its own straight into the AVI speakers didn't pan out well audibly. The Cambridge DAC brings more depth and clarity to the sound for my ears. Anybody's...
