Thanks for your reply. Much though needed.

My current set up is a Yamaha WXAD10 Streamer. Using Quboz. A Naim Nait 5si amp Vintage Lentek S4 speakers I'm looking for suggestions on an upgrade of one item, the streamer or the speakers, that would make the biggest difference. Looking to improve the overall sound stage as at times it can...

Hi I'm looking for a Bluetooth Adapter for my Bose QC15s that offer the best connectivity and sound quality. In particular aptx compatible, as my Sony phone is aptx compatible. I can't find any reviews and the products I've seen mention connectivity issues. Anyone have one they would recommend...

Okay Mathew piano. You did it. I sold the azur. Bought a used Naim Nait 5i(italic) for 600quid. I'm blown away. In particular the balance nothing is too boomy, very hi and toppy Joni Mitchell doesn't grate. I'm very happy so merry Christmas to you for your advice. 🎅👍

If you have a Streamer like a Yamaha wxad 10 or 50 or a bluenotenode etc. which have DACS built in, why would one want to plug it onto another DAC between it and the amp? Surely the first internal DAC in the unit is doing all the converting or am I confused 😕 or does the additional DAC improve...

An old friend of mine had speakers in the early 80s. I can't remember the make and I would like to find out what they were. He had them paired with a rega planar and a NAD 3020 amp and they sounded fantastic. They were very small bookshelf about 8-10 inches high, 6 wide but quiet deep. The...

I've been using a Yamaha Wxad 10 to stream. The yamaha music cast app can control your streaming from Tidal, Qeuboz, Spotify and Hi Res Internet radio. You can also stream via Bluetooth which I use for movie outputs. It works well for me and doesn't break the bank. I use Quboz and don't...

Typical of me. I ask for advice then don't take it!. I tool advantage of a good deal on a cbridve Azur640 v2 which has toroidal trans. It's okay.... But I'm finding the highs are missing and it sounds a tad muffled with lack of brightness overall. I'll live with it for a bit. Starting to...

Once again many thanks. Ive certainly got a good few options to look at now. Bets Wishes.

Rega Brio/IO look good and some on used market

This is indeed very helpful. i hadn't considered any of these other than the audiolab and was not aware at all of the power spec required for the lenteks. If I was to look at a lower budget and the 2nd hand market what would you suggest? I appreciate the time you have taken to respond and Ill...

Hi and thanks for your reply. I have renovated the Lenteks and yes wedded to them :-) The Bass/mid driver has been replaced with Seas P21RE/P H0942-08 Woofer. H0313 2015 remake I also resealed the box checked cross overs. All done from a newbie following posts and video (HiFi DIY and others)...

Hi Im looking to replace my old Trio Receiver which has now given up the ghost. I did like the warm sound but power was always lacking. I have a Yamaha WXAD-10 which stream Hi Res from Quboz and my speakers are Lentek S4s (old speakers). My budget is in the £500 range. I like the look of old...
