Oops - Sorry buddy! :)

Looking good! Any new toys I get will currently have to be 'Cyrus-width'(ish) as space is at a premium. Is there any mention of UK warranty in the packaging?

No worries! :cool:

Yes, the M500 and SU-9 are available with next-day Prime delivery, so they must be coming from within the UK. Sadly, I can't find any details of what to do if it goes wrong. It might be the least exciting option, but it looks like the CA will probably win. £399 is a lot to spend on something...

I suppose it's a steep learning curve for all involved. Just what we need eh - more paperwork! :rolleyes:

I don't want this to turn political :eek:, but in my workplace we have had issues getting items back into the UK since January. I work at a shop in Norfolk that sells high-end binoculars and telescopes to birdwatchers. We regularly send customer's faulty items back to Germany and Austria for...

Thanks guys, I'll let you know which one I go for (if any!), but having the backup of buying from Amazon UK would be good. The Cambridge appears to be out of stock everywhere now. Rumours on audiosciencereview of a recall because of 'issues' - could equally be COVID-related supply problems.

Thanks for your advice fellas. I must admit, I hadn't really considered the whole trade deal/Brexit aftercare palaver, but I suppose it's a very real concern these days. (I live in Norfolk, UK by the way) I'm currently using the(pretty decent) inbuilt headphone amp in my 8vs, with a pair of...

Thanks guys - good advice on both counts!

I appear to got a little bit lost in the plethora of DAC reviews and discussion on audiosciencereview.Com! I'm looking to upgrade my ageing Dacmagic 100, with something up to £500. Those guys seem to like the SMSL SU-9, SMSL M500 and Topping D30 Pro, but there's always the obvious choice of...

Thanks for that - I've a feeling my kit might see me out then! Cyrus prices appear to have doubled definitely, thank goodness for Ebay, eh? :)

Dynaudio Special 40's in 'Red Birch'...:love:

Thanks for your advice Gents (I assume!). You know what it's like when you have the internet and time on your hands (no, not that! :ROFLMAO:). I really love my system and the 8vs has real emotional pull too, as it was bought with some money that a relative left me when she died. At that point...

I have a Cyrus and Dynaudio system, components of which are between 10 and 15 years old. Each item (at the time) cost £700-800: Cyrus CD6SE2 £700 Cyrus 8vs Amp £800 Dynaudio Excite X12 £700 I've since added various items (PSX-R, X Power amp & Cambridge Dacmagic 100). With lockdown time on my...

Hi, Thanks for replying. I'll definitely be looking at second hand (for the moment). I know it's daft, but I wouldn't 'switch teams' and go to another brand. Cyrus kit has served me well, I like the build, the sound and the aesthetic. The aesthetic is especially useful as a married man -...
