Took about an hour to set up but now have a BBC Sounds server...

    High end hi fi

    Most hifi begins to look rubbish as soon as you start adding cables. At the higher end the cables get fatter, tackier and are strewn across the floor for all to see.

    Question Connecting old amp to wireless speakers

    Check out the Monitor Audio WT-1 / WR-1 Wireless Audio Transmitter & Receiver Kit. This could use your amplifier pre-out connection to stream wirelessly to the matching receiver which can feed a wireless speaker/s with RCA inputs.

    End of software updates for older SONOS products

    Presumably if you have at least one new Sonos "master" device in your line up that was kept up to date with all the latest streaming service APIs etc. you should be able to link it up to any of the older devices as a speaker group and keep the older "local network " of products going?

    Question New generation streaming alarm clocks

    How much space do you want your radio to occupy? Is something like a Panasonic SC-ALL2 ok (it does Tidal)? Or are you looking for a big improvement in sound quality and got lots of space?

    Sonos Trade up programme - worth the upgrade?

    Seems like the Sonos Tradeup programme has attracted a lot of negative press and the "environmental" credentials of this initiative are being called out as being very questionable. I think it very irresponsible for Sonos to brick perfectly serviceable and working devices that could continue to...

    Totally Split: Divided between Sonos and Small Amp Set-up

    You could try a pair of powered monitor speakers like the Adam T5V and add a streamer to this. The Ruark MR1 already mentioned is also a good option. Alternatively a networked receiver like a Yamaha N402D and your choice of speakers around 150EUR might be within your budget. If a wireless...
