    Puresound A10 - 6 ohm speakers in the 4 ohm inputs ?

    Hey there, I need some help with this as Im finding it a bit confusing. Im going to be auditioning a few different speakers soon and a few of them are 6 ohm. My Puresound amp has 4 ohm inputs for speakers and 8 ohm inputs for speakers. Should I use the 4ohm inputs ? Thank you, Stephen

    Passed the point of buying new music?

    I myself have really tried to listen to new music. Nothing mainstream from the iTunes chart, but stuff under the radar. NME etc; But like what has already been touched on here, essentially there is nothing new in music now. Its all been done before. I do try to listen to a broader spectrum of...

    Will you be ditching your CD player in 2014?

    No chance. Cant afford to use internet music/streaming whatever. Plus I have too many CDs, it would take forever to convert them into flac or ogg etc;

    Vintage integrated amp - where to buy

    I have owned Pioneer, Arcam, Rotel and Marantz so I know how they sound with the DM601s. Arcam Alpha 8 or 9 are good choices and shouldnt cost you more than around £150. They would be my 1st choice with your speakers. The Alpha 7 to 9 were the peak of that series, with the 9 and 10 deviating...

    Vintage integrated amp - where to buy

    Strange(?) issue with indoor FM antenna

    Ive been quite jammy in that respect, as my main transmitter (Wenvoe) is South East which happens to be the direction my window/house faces. I love FM and hope it sticks around for a few more years yet, for the sake of my ears !

    Strange(?) issue with indoor FM antenna

    Ive tried those "amplified" indoor aerials and they are alright. But I use a ribbon aerial pink t-shaped cable thingie and it works great. Picks up all the BBC stations and all the local stations too with a full strength signal bar on my Luxman tuner, to note I am only about 7 miles from the...
