The last pair of Sennheiser CX300ii from my local Comet store on the day they closed, £5.

They look like TV surround sound speakers to me, from a Trinitron CRT with Dolby Pro Logic? EDIT: ah sorry, missed the bit about the CD for scale, so too big for Surround Sound jobbies. So as mentioned earlier, probably from a mini/midi system or similar.

Wow! Ace bargain mate. Enjoy! :cheers:

I love my 8R. It has that lovely Arcam warmth yet packs a decent punch. The only minus for me is not enough tape loops, but then I'm a bit of an analogue dinosaur and it probably isn't much of a consideration in this day & age . £120 is reasonable.

Absolutely Rick, no point in spending any more dosh. He can sort it very simply.

If you prefer the Chord for detail, then turn up the volume & bass controls on your amp. Don't go looking for complicated solutions when a simple one is, literally, at hand.

Not having an earlier copy to compare it to, my opinion might not count for much, so all I can say is that there is absolutely no surface noise on my copy & to my ears it has been very well mastered. It has a fairly exciting presentation, but then I did follow the instruction on the back of the...

Got my re-issue of Ziggy today, so had a bit of a Bowie day:

Nah. Rock em Sock em Robots

Ah well. Just to chuck a little confusion into the mix, I also auditioned the CA 650C and the Marantz CD6004. I much prefered the Marantz. http://www.whathifi.com/forum/hi-fi/my-new-cd-player-marantz-cd6004 They're both good players, and the CA looks better, but to my ears (which is all that...
