    The 2k question?

    Another for the Sneaky DS. Had an ex demo Linn system of Sneaky DS (£550) and Majik 109s and stands (£850). Loved that system, moved on now though to B&O.

    How do you know which speakers your amp is best suited to?

    Hi, you might want to check out 2ndhandhifi.com they have a Rotel965BX (and other options) in at good price. I have used this site a few times before before with no problems at all.

    Phono pre amp advice

    I picked up a Rega Fono Mini this week and can't fault it for the price to be honest.

    Back into vinyl!

    thats the one, I have learnt a lot about this at TT in a very short amount of time. It's all part of it I suppose and I like that. Cheers

    Back into vinyl!

    Thanks major, I think you are right, the arm is probably the first thing to look into. The cartridge is fitted with two screws, so not sure if that adaptor plate is already in place. It is solid and well made alright, a very heavy unit and a good addition to my system I think. Will be doing some...

    Back into vinyl!

    Hi, recently I had the urge to get back into vinyl. Grew up with it and then dj'd in my teens so always had turntables. So after a little research I decided on a goldring lenco gl75, love the older wood plinth look compared to the modern ones, and it come through this week, all refurbed and in...

    The Quad 9AS thread

    Hi, I tried the other week actually, but my local dealer ordered them a while back but are still waiting. I was also in contact with quad directly with questions about the 9AS, whilst in contact I asked when they would be available and was told they havent been able to supply as yet, as they...

    my DREAM system. oh, maybe one day...

    I guess that was point. I am all apple, MacBook, iPad 2, iPhone and owned the early versions of AEX's over the years and the new AEX is the only apple product to have given me problems and as you say it is just not as slick as apple normally do things. Doesn't help you I know but when I asked...

    my DREAM system. oh, maybe one day...

    I had the exact same probs recently with the new AE hardwired when trying to connect to my BeoLab 4000's, my network was wiped out (which apple did fix for me) and various other probs but importantly for me the high volume even at lowest on AirPlay control. Tried 3 units all brand new from...

    The active speakers club

    Some advice and thoughts please. So I have my AE connected to my B&O's via 3.5mm to phono, control with AirPlay, this was always a first step to get me going on my active way. I like the simplicity of just using AirPlay, but looking at improving things in the new year and being able to connect...
