    Adding a dac

    Adding a dac

    Hi folks, i bought a second hand onkyo c-7030 cd player after reading rave reviews and purchased it because of the wolfson dac inside. Later i realise that the later players had a dac change i think AKM. So i purchased a cambridge audio dacmagic 100 which does have wolfson, this got good reviews...

    VHS HiFi Audio

    Back in the 80s i used to have svhs for hifi recordings. I had about 100 tapes and used to keep each artist per tape. I could get about maybe 4 or 5 albums per tape. Great sound quality. The only draw back was if you wanted to play an album that was located in the middle of the tape, used to...

    Best floor standers and amp for large room and electronic music

    I'm running proac speakers with roksan blak amp. They pair up very well, the amp has plenty of muscle. The speakers have downward firing ports so are easy for room placement

    Minidisc Appreciation thread

    Phono Stage

    majority is ok but some of the second hand ones are a bit snap crackle and pop. If i got the sugar cube i would hunt a lot more in the second hand bins.

    Phono Stage

    Well i tried the rega fono mm mk3 against the roksan blak built in phono today and thought the blak sounded better. To be honest i was hoping the fono would sound better, the reason i say that is because i want to invest in the sweet vinyl sugar cube and to hook that up to my system i would need...

    Hifi is all the same?

    If people spend £20,000 on a system they automatically think that it will blow a £3,500 system out of the water. Sometimes it will sometimes it won't. And it's also called hi fi snobbery.
