    Question Oberon 5 ampli choice Marrantz vs Denon

    You really need to just ditch Apple...I did it years ago....they just don't play ball with decent hifi gear.

    Question Oberon 5 ampli choice Marrantz vs Denon

    Hi-fi choice give the advance Paris a very favourable review, comparing it with the Electrocompaniet eci80d, high praise indeed, that is a cracking amplifier and way more expensive than the Advance Paris, I'll concur with Alears and say that is also where I'd spend my cash, get a demo first if...

    Subwoofer connection confusion. Advice?

    I know your really asking about the svs subwoofer, but I'd say the Rel subs are a bit easier to wire up to some types of systems with their high level input cable(they come already supplied), your fosi amp is class d as is the amplifier in most subwoofers, this creates a bit of a problem with...

    Setup Upgrade

    As others have said, and I'd also side with them, your system is now at a level where a dedicated streaming transport makes sense and will make a noticeable difference in overall sound quality, better power supplies, dedicated audio pcb's, better clocking units all add up to a better product...

    Amp Upgrade for ATC SCM11 Speakers

    It is possible your starting to just not really like the analytical presentation of the ATC's anymore and crave a different sound, I'm not a fan myself, so, as others have mentioned I'd change the speakers to more suit the amplifier....and those scm11 speakers can be quite demanding of...

    Spending far more on amp than turntable?

    My Avid ingenium plug and play sits well with my near 6k rrp Electrocompaniet eci6 mkii, although I confess it has had a few upgrades and is now more in line with a 3k turntable, After it's latest mod. Rega rb700 tonearm( bought a couple of years ago) has been off to Southampton for the Origin...

    Advice on best amplifier + speakers to manage a difficult room

    It's nice to know some folks are getting into dads vinyl collection..lol..brilliant stuff. On another note, I wouldn't rely on the room correction of the wiim products, it's very basic and when I had the wiim ultra, I tried it out just for curiosity sake, into my then Acoustic energy ae1 active...

    Recommendations for a CD system.

    A quick look on eBay, Roksan Blak amplifier and Dali Rubicon 2 speakers under 2k, add the cheapest cd/dvd player as a transport in the short term until you find something you really like....that'd be a fantastic hub for a system to grow...just my worthless 2cents.

    Recommendations for a CD system.

    I'm sorry here, but I don't see how you can seek advice on speakers from people here when you are in a 3x2 m room and about to move to a room twice it's size..this makes no sense to me.sorry. ....and I wouldn't bother spending 5-600 quid on a cd player, the chances are that the amplifier you...

    Eversolo DMP-A6.

    Since this is kind of a Eversolo topic, might I say that the soon too be released Eversolo dac z10 is looking very interesting /impressive indeed, the specs, the tech, If I had some high end active speakers,ATC scm40a for example, this is exactly what I'd be looking for...I have the z8 dac and...

    Possibly true..that level of R&D don't come cheap and costs need to be recouped.....I'm glad I'm nearly done

    Question How do you prefer to Listen to sound ?

    Yeah, simple left and right stereo speaker would be a good shout.

    Eversolo DMP-A6.

    Don't knock the Chinese gear, they make the west's R&D facilities look like the industrial revolution from 2 centuries ago....the Chinese are doing brilliant stuff that will probably end the European manufacturer's unless they start getting very aggressive with pricing. When they have speaker's...
