    The Apex Club

    I picked them up today but not had much chance to use them yet. And the fronts and surrounds are ex-demo but the centre is brand new so will probably need time to run in but first impressions are very good. It all sounds very cohesive, and i dont feel in my room at least that i loose...

    Musical Fidelity M1 DAC - Review by WHF

    I'm curious if they are going to be reviewing the new Beresford DAC, the Bushmaster. From what i have been reading about it, it sounds very good indeed, and i think its only about £150. Could be a massive bargain!!

    ONKYO TX-NR809 or 1009

    thanks, yes it does help, that sounds like the problem i am having. It certainly does get warm, even though i have a reasonable amount of space around it. Maybe i should have bought a fan to blow over it. Still might do actually as it may help to keep it working for a little while longer...

    What interconnects to go for?

    not sure if i can post the link but a quick search for "Full Frequency Range Cables" will show you what i mean. I use these, not bi-amped, so used all three lengths per one set of binding posts. And i must say from the standard £1m cable i was using the difference was night and day. Ooh that...

    All time favourate artists

    you might be surprised then that Tori Amos is 47. She is one of my all time greats for sure. Along with Muse, Radiohead, BRMC, elbow, doves, pearl jam, and Ryan Adams to name just a coulpe of artists i listen to very regulary.

    Upgrading REL Q100E

    Hi all. Quick question if you can help me out with your thoughts please. Do you think it would be worth upgrading the REL to something like a BK XLS200 or B&W 610 or would i have to spend much more money for an improvement? I like quick tuneful bass that can go deep when necessary. To be used...
