So so helpful! THANKS! I'll give this a go and report back when I've made progress. Much appreciated - and yes, the XDJ-RX offers hours of fun...but Rekordbox tagging of 10,000+ tracks is a full time job. (!) :)

Hi there, I don't have much knowledge of audio switch devices and I'm looking for the best solution for a fairly sophisticated, interconnected setup: I have the following devices: NAD3020 amp Phono pre-amp 2 x technics 1210 turntables DJ controller - Pioneer XDJ-RX Virgin box/Samsung TV...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5m-RCA-Phono-Hi-fi-Interconnect-Van-Damme-UP-LCOFC-Cable-Pair-Locking-RCA-/272254987890?hash=item3f63a96e72:g:qfAAAOSwn8FXRuqG Are these ok? Does price look good and is this the correct model before I buy?

Great - UP-LCOFC it is! It also just occurred to me that I'm going to need to connect the turntable to the amp - are these leads just as important? If so, it's worth mentioning that I'll be using a NAD D3020 amp with a Rega Fono Mini A2D Phono (moving magnet) pre-amp. There must be loads of...

On routers - I'm guessing any old standard wireless router will do? I don't need anything fancy here do I? Comparison info massively helpful - thanks.

Hi - I'm about to invest in a NAS drive and having researched on here, the Synology seems to be the best option. I should note that I'll primarily be using the Synology to link up with a Sonos system to play music directly from the drive without the need for a laptop. As I'm new to all this...

Example - is there a difference between the ones mentioned above and the 'up'-lcofc range? Or is this the same thing? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Van-Damme-2-x-6mm-UP-LCOFC-Hi-Fi-Speaker-Cables-2x-3m-lengths-/231986723225?hash=item36037c7999:g:cvYAAOSwZ8ZXAKOu Thanks again!

Thanks all. Bill - Van Damme keep coming up as recommended. I chanced upon these - are they the right ones and this a good deal? (Don't want to overpay if I can help it!) Cheers...

I keep hearing differing thoughts on this subject. I'm going for a NAD D3020 amp and some Q Acoustics 3050...so not a bad set up. I'm told that when you're going for above average sound (which my equipment choices show), it's important to buy a cable to match. I have NO idea what I'm looking...

Interesting - so two people saying these floor standing speakers are generally better than bookshelf size + stands for a small room. Thanks - v helpful! R.

Hiya, I'm on the brink of buying a pair of floor standing Q Acoustics 3050 speakers (I've tested them in the shop and they sound nice). However, it just occurred to me that my listening room is pretty small (4.92m/16'2" x 3.15m/10'4" to be exact). Do we think the speakers are too big and will...

Thanks all! I think I'm going for Q Acoustics 3050 floor standing speakers. I like the NAD because I'll be playing digital music through a NAS drive as well as (dare I say it) youtube files via Bluetooth. The NAD seems to be great for this kind of thing - until you factor in the vinyl bit...

Hi - I've ben going through the long process of researching an appropriate sound system. I'm nearly there with this and have settled on the NAD 2030 amp, mainly because of the bluetooth/DAC capabilitites. However, I'm investing in a record deck (Technics 1210 Mk 2) to go with it. This is where...

Ace - thanks!

Firstly - yes it is. Secondly - I don't understand the functionality difference between the two models. Thirdly - Be nice.
