At the moment I am still leaning towards improving my Amp and CD the jury still being out on streaming. Possibles are Musical FidelityM6SI but it might not be detailed enough for me Lingdorf TDAi-3400 with a Lingdorf CD-2 The Musical Fidelity M8Xi probably wouldn't leave me enough room for a...

Thanks for the replies to date, streaming seems to be a very emotive subject and I still can't really get to the bottom of what makes a £6000 streamer better than a £2000 streamer. Naim are pushing heavily in that direction at the expence of CD. I'm very much thinking on the lines of a top...

Thank you I will check out the Teac-off in the morning to see if I can get the Kairn checked out-we have a specialist Linn repairer close by, if it can be done he will do it.

My system consists of Linn LP12 + Lingo, Ekos Arm and Klyde MC Cartridge. Naim CD5 Si Linn Kairn and LK140 with Linn Majik 140 speakers. In spite of the expensive and hardly used Record set up it has hardly been used. I have sold most of my LP collection and over the past 20 years accumulated...
