acalex Oh, dude!!?? Trust your own ears!! If, to you, the Silver sounded better than the Platinum, then that is the truth. And eliminate your 'higher price / bettter performance' mentality -- a sure way to rip up cash which, in this case ... a measly 600+%. *A Group Test - Floorstanding...

Hi Simon Thanks heaps for responding. If it were all red and white I mightn't (rpt might not) have needed to check. But Chameleon is Red + Brown/Gold and neither relevant component has 'standard' colouring either. In fact, one red and three 'nothings'. Thanks again steve

Hi QUIKSTER Leema and PMC / Dynaudio (not my fav); Rega and Epos. Of course, as PP suggetsed, each Co has its own speakers. Personally, with admitted bias, I'd be keen to check out the new Epos Elan. What's your budget, ballpark? **If you like a true monitor, which should be ideal for...

Hi Sorry for the newbie-est question but i can't find any directions website / booklet etc. Does Red = Right Ch? I'd be too embarrassed to ask but I'm srtill trying to digest Rumour4 connecting: Red = positive -- and ... Black = postive... Does Chord HQ have a herb garden? With a really...

PMC. One of Oz's more highly regarded A/V stores, Carlton AV in Melbourne, highly recommends Cyrus - PMC; several of its staff own systems based on the combination. (I have no commercial interest here whatsoever; simply a very satisfied / happy customer)...

The reason I got it wrong was in the belief that, quite simply, Red = positive and Black = negative; I thought that in lay terms, this was the universal standard, if you like. I thought the Red stripe and the white cable twisted with it were both positive, similarly, the pair with the Black...

"Be sure to check your amp configuration too..." Yeah, I'm having a quiet giggle to myself abt that Again thanks.

Wow ... thank you very much. I felt like a bit of a dweeb but I'm glad I asked. Hope you work for yourself, the pay should be commensurate!! Thanks again

I also would be looking right at those speakers ... PMC DB1i or TB2i. The DBs are half the cost of the PMs -- but if you really like the sound of your B&Ws then maybe have a listen to the CM5s which WHF says have 'powerful bass', you already know the style. But PMCs will give you 'real clarity...

Yeah I read this too ... so did Google, whose memory has far better specs (and detail!!) ;-j http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/998rega

Atanas Could you go 450 -- the Rega Brio R, which is what mathewpiano is upgrading to from the CA. The Rega Brio is REALLY GOOD

Hi Are the black and red '+' s in the Chord Rumour 4 diagram (linked below) depicting the speaker's top two terminals?? Many thanks http://www.chord.co.uk/products.php?pg=139&phpMyAdmin=H%2CKFxwyL5UycE7miJqts4M28nF4&phpMyAdmin=1f49bfd3cbdaa53c1e4262029d36fe8d

Hi all I'm also in the Sonos crew but have a fresh question, an extension. I just bought a ZP90 into Rega DAC (also existing Pioneer DVD into DAC) - Destiny amp - Epos Epic 5. In another, fresh post, ZP90 was described as limited. I didn't give it much thought, bro wanted one, services were...

Sweet! Got him in the (hidden) detail...

Found Atlas Hyper 2.0, same $ as Rumour4 and Equator 2.0 MkII for half that. (??) Transport solved Pioneer DV 266, sister Dealer was interesting, very. He'd called, which was re-assuring. "(Old) Pioneer...?" The spontaneous tone, reaction overall, was purely positive, an endorsement. Went on to...
