    Question DAC crackling

    I have a Metrum Acoustics Octave MkII DAC. It appears to be creating a crackling sound from the speaker but I am unsure of the exact cause and if there are any solutions. I stream via Laptop and then USB to the dac. This then goes to the amplifier and so on. I also use an if Zen blue for...

    Question Arcam a19 Kef q350

    Thanks for the advice, tinnies are essentials. Will definitely look at the Klipsch then as they do seem to come recommend. Annoying they cost so much more in the UK than the US. The 606's new are about 325£. I will hold off and save as like you say if youre going to buy something you should do...

    Question Arcam a19 Kef q350

    Thanks for the advice, very helpful. I'll have a look into the ones you mentioned. I've looked at the Klipsch speakers you mentioned but they seem to be much more than I'd want to spend due to them being American I believe.

    Question Arcam a19 Kef q350

    Question Arcam a19 Kef q350

    Do you have any other suggestions for speakers that may work well with the arcam at that price point. Some people seem to recommend BW with arcam but many others are against it. Will the A19 have enough power to push the KEFs to higher volume (in a small room) ? Thanks

    Question Arcam a19 Kef q350

    Any thoughts on pairing for arcam a19, something that brings the higher end out but still keeps the lows. Thoughts on the Kefq350, don't want to spend more than them but would be happy to go second hand. Looking at stand mounts due to size of room. Thanks
