Yes, very frustrating. I can't even type a simple sentence without it being blocked. The company that does the checking is not even in business anymore. Product was off sale in May 2017, services will be turned off 2nd April 2018. As What Hi-Fi appears to spend no effort on this forum then...

For all lovers of the Mission 753's I thought it worth replying to this thread with my upgrades. I have the Mission 753 Freedoms and a while back spent some time auditioning replacements. I didn't find anything I liked the look of that I liked under £2k so decided to upgrade the drivers...

Trying to add an image to a post and keep getting blocked. How do I add them?

My current 2.1 is a Sony Home Theatre System - HT0FS3, which I intend to replace rather than augment. As always lots of options and the delima that I will need AV cababilities for the TV, which isn't ideal for music. Whichever way I go there will be a compromise, so I leaning towards your...

Thanks for the reply. The kit in my signature is the Hi-Fi setup in a different room so I won't be replacing those components. I was initially thinking of runnning another set of speakers into my living room for music but then thought of replacing my 2.1 to save having to have 2 sets of speakers.

Hi, currently I have a budget (£250) 2.1 speaker setup for my TV and to be honest I'm pleased with it's output but it is not suitable for music listening. Rather than buying a dedicated music system I'm thinking that I can upgrade my 2.1 to something that would be great for music and also run...

Thanks for the replies. I want to make the most of my amp so I'm leaning towards another set of passive speakers and a switch.

How did you get on with the DAC? I have a CCA, big improvement going from analogue to optical via DAC. I've just got an iFi SPDIF iPurifier which sits between the CCA and DAC, that also made an additional big improvement.

Hi, I currently have my Hi-Fi setup in my dining room/office. It would also be nice to listen in my lounge (4.5m x 4.5m) which is the next room so looking for ideas/thoughts on the best way to do it. I don't want to get a full setup so thinking about just running another set of speakers (wired...

nsa-watch-my-toilet thanks for reading my post but clearly you have missed the point. 1. It wasn't a scientific test, just an observation. As pointed out the RCA cables are very low budget however many on here argue that the cables make no difference. 2. There is no need to swap cables as the...

I doubt a photo of the internals will resolve the debate but here is one anyway. http://www.mygarage.ro/attachments/vanzari/326359d1432577051-vand-amplificator-abrahamsen-v2-0-up-5_f.jpg I can see 2 blue squares, 2 sets of 6 brown things, 2 sets of power feeds and a bunch of other paired...

I have a NAD320BEE which I just upgraded to the Abrahamsen and it is 435 x 115 x 320 (including speakers binding posts).

I auditioned the CXA80 and it sounded very good. With a bit of negotiation you might squeeze it into your budget. I think you will struggle to find anything for what you describe as bass management for your budget. I would suggest taking your speakers to RicherSounds or an alternative...

I had an email this morning from Thomas Abrahamsen and he confirmed that the v2.0UP is fully balanced.

Now I am the proud owner of a new Abrahamsen v2.0UP amp I feel that speakers are the next upgrade on the list ( I currently have a set of Mission 753 Freedom's ). I'm a bit short of space. My room is 3.12m x 3.35m and the speakers need to go in the corners of the 3.12m wall not more than 15cm...
