    Chord 2Qute Dac

    I want one and am going to the Bristol show to check it out. If it is as good as or better than the Qute HD I auditioned last year then, saving apart, I am definitely in!!

    Got the Kef R300 what amplifier do I need?

    Hi Electro I only received the amp today and that coincided with electricians being here from the time the amp arrived to 5 minutes ago. So I have only just plugged it in. Going to allow a 2 hour warm up, as per the instruction manual. I will give you some feedback in a couple of weeks time...

    Got the Kef R300 what amplifier do I need?

    Apologies to the OP for hijacking the thread, however I wanted to let Electro know that Audiodestination have accepted payment terms and I will be the proud owner of an EC3i in the very near future. Going to be spending the next few hours in absolute joy, that my dream system has got off the...

    KEF LS50 and...

    Dear Electro Thanks for the heads up, will be biting nails until Tuesday then, assuming all goes well, I will update next week. In terms of my ambitions, this is like the window of opportunity opening, I just hope it comes off. Thanks again, if it works out I will put a pair of R500's on the...

    A metal album for rock fans

    Hi Bigfish Have you tried TNT Intuition, that's melodic metal. Otherwise try Loudness Lightning Strikes. They are a Japanese version of Iron Maiden and the guitarist is exceptional, touches of Gary Mooore (in his metal phase) and Eddie Van Halen. Hope you enjoy. I will check out your Megadeth...

    KEF LS50 and...

    Dear Electro, An absolute steal at the price, so much so I contacted them to see if it is still available. Going to read the Tone Audio review in your link and dream that the dealer will accept my proposal as this amp is the heart of my dream set up and at the price I can get it, so long as...

    Your favourite electronica albums?

    Hi, Yes I am well into the Dead Texan, thanks, have you tried Christina Vantzou? She is Adam Wiltzie's girlfriend apparently, her album No 1 is cool. There are 2 other side projects Sleepingdog and Aix Em Klemm both available from Amazon, where Wiltzie collaborated with members of Labradford...

    Your favourite electronica albums?

    Hi Fr0g I don't post very often, but I could not resist this one as I am a bit of a fan of electronic music. Albums that are the corner stone of why I like electronic music and are go to for me 1. Kraftwerk The Man Machine 2. Tangerine Dream Tangram 3. The Human League Travelogue 4...

    Sony gets behind high-resolution audio...

    Whilst £2k is a lot for a music player, the interesting aspect that will get my attention from the reviews is the ability to convert all of your music to DSD. I have several CD's that I think are "high "quality" recordings and as they say if the source is good the "upscaling" could be awesome. I...

    Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

    Hi Ksoundwerx, if electronica is your thing try chvrches (it's spelt that way) 80's style with modern female vocals. Theo12

    Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

    I am rather in the same camp as the LHC, I had high hopes for this album, but it turns out to be very underwhelming. Don't let my comments put you off, but there are better ways to waste your time. Stick with Get Lucky, which I enjoy, the rest is avoidable. Theo12

    Hi Joe, Here goes, 1. Will LG be introducing new tablets? Do they think there is a market for tablets greater than 10 inch? 2. What display technology will LG develop after OLED? 3. What do LG think will be the most efficient 4k delivery method for the home market? 4. How long before LG...

    KEF R 5.1 or 7.1

    Nick, As I understand it, the 300's are better all round over the 100's, but not so much as to rule them out. You have pointed out that movies are the focus of your enjoyment. If you have movies with 7.1 soundtracks and the amp can also provide 7.1 from a 5.1 source then go for the 100's...

    KEF R 5.1 or 7.1

    Hi Nick, The choice seems to be quite a difficult one. I suggest doing a demo with both your choices to see which suits you best. My thoughts are, if multi channel music is significant part of your diet then go for the 300's, if movies are the higher portion of the menu go 7.1 and get the...

    CDs to make your system sing!

    Hi Strapped One remaster I have found to sound brilliant is Talk Talk The Colour Of Spring. Recorded at Abbey road, the production sounds absolutely amazing and on the first track you get piano, double bass and lush orchestral strings, which make for a great test. I also recommend the 2009...
