    ideas for temporary speakers

    When I sold my PMC OB1is I tried bringing my pair of Q Acoustics 2010i in from the dining room stereo and plugging into my MF (pre/power 250watts) setup - was very pleasantly suprised with how good they sounded! A pair of 2020i on ebay at the moment for £80, could probably be bought and sold on...

    2nd hand integrated amp for £2k

    Thanks for the replies and suggestions all. Front end is Sonos Connect/Macbook Pro into MF M1DAC. I would love to go down the Accuphase or Luxman route but unfortunately they're just out of reach price wise at the moment while we buying a house. All being well I hope to own one of these after...

    2nd hand integrated amp for £2k

    Hi, Due to a upcoming house move and the need to save space I'm looking for a high quality integrated amp to replace my MF seperates system. The MF has been a cracking system and I'd like to get as close to it's performance as possible. I don't know how acheivable this will be with an...

    My music system

    Life with the OB1is was unfortunately short lived due to the wife 'hating' them *sorry2* Still, in pursuit of change I managed to find a pair of 23s that were too good to turn down and think these could be keepers... They're really very good and fit the space ok I think. Should probably...

    MF m6dac

    Thanks for mentioning, also noticed these going rather 'cheap' recently (compared to their original purchase price amyway..). I was gutted to miss out on one that went for £499 the other week - tried bidding at the last few seconds and my phone decided it would choose that moment to jam up...

    Is it easier to spend money on hifi than music

    Serious question, have you tried listening to the radio? I'm a huge fan of streaming and have been for years but I find the best source of inspiration for finding new music comes from listening to the radio (normally Jazz FM and Classical FM online services) which I then look up the artist on...

    Warming up your amplifier...

    Personally I'm of the opinion that the sound does change after half an hour or so of 'warming up'. The sound seems to mellow becoming fuller and the soundstage wider compared to a slightly thin and cold sound when initially turned on. I cannot back this up with any kind of scientific reasoning...

    First high end purchase

    Hi Heman, as others have mentioned we need more information regarding your music tastes, room size, stand mount or floorstanding preferences and existing setup etc? It's difficult to give much good advice that would be useful to you without knowing this. If I was in your nice position (and...

    TDL Speakers

    An elderly relative has a pair of TDL Reference Standard speakers. These are still one of if not the best pair of speakers I've ever had the pleasure of listening to!

    My music system

    Thanks very much Drummerman. I have a TV that gets brought into the room for movies and music blu rays now and again but more often than not just enjoy the music. I'm sure the TV affects the imaging of the speakers in some way too... Anyway, who needs TV when you have 2 pairs of speakers to...

    Musical Fidelity M1 DAC ticking noise

    Hello Rob, Just happened to be reading this whilst listening to music from my mac plugged into my M1DAC via USB so thought seemed rude not to try it out for you and post a response. I can confirm the ticking noise does occur as you describe when you change the input and music is still playing...
