Hi all! I just picked up a Yamaha A-S301 after reading a few reviews on a good budget amplifier and I have to say it's beaten my expectations by a mile. I don't have trained audiophile ears by any stretch of the imagination but I can't help but feel like the highs and mids sparkle and its...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try the B&W 600 series and the Monitor Audio silvers. After looking around local prices for Spendor are just slightly outside the wallet comfort zone sadly.

As there isn't any tone adjustment features on the M6si or i dont think any MF amplifier for that matter in my experience, something with a bit more mid clarity. Although i dont have a reference point, I have heard some of the same tracks, albeit using a different source through Beyerdynamic...

Hi Just recently (and unexpectedly) upgraded from a hand-me-down MF Elektra E11 to a M6si and boy is it a huge leap. The speakers I have are an older pair of B&W DM603 S2 which I believe are mid-90s. Although they sound great, I cant help but feel like there must be some floor speakers out...

That is a great idea. I'll see if i can sell it then purchase the replacement tweeter. The only place i could find it new was from the Netherlands for 90 euros, and as for a spares set, they're hard to come by here, i've tried most local classifieds, eBay, Amazon etc. so no luck with that.

I've been given some old b&w speakers from a friend moving countries, and im trying hard to figure out which to keep. 1. B&W DM603 S2. These are my current speakers. I like the sound of this better, though sadly one side had a punched in tweeter which I took apart and smoothed out. However its...

Thanks for the help! Went back and got the LP3. Wasn't as "weighty" as it looks but the sound quality through the Mullard tubes and the B&W speakers are unlike anything ive heard (may also just be placebo haha)! I went and bought a recent release on LP for about $50 just so I've got something...

I inherited a lot of my dad's old vinyls so wanted to get something to listen to them.He's sadly sold his record player a while ago, he had a Pro-Ject, and I don't think my ears will be able to discern between a $2,000 Rega and a $200 Denon/AT. It's mainly to listen to the existing collection...

Hi guys, I was looking at getting into vinyls and to start off with get a budget/low-end turntable and after reading reviews, and considering local stock, narrowed it down to these two options. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience/knows more about turntables and can tell me if in...

Sadly the PC soundcard itself does not have enough power to be able to drive speakers directly, hence i connected it to the amp's AC-3 Inputs, which accepts 5.1 input. I guess the best way to describe it is a PC Soundcard is just a DAC/PreAmp and could only probably power headphones at best...

Ahh sorry for the confusion. For that photo, i had already disconnected the 5.1 inputs and removed the surround speakers. There is a centre and two floor standers still plugged in. I was under the assumption you wanted a general photo of the rear. I plugged in what i had before and took a...

Haha, this is my first ever tube amp, and i have no understanding of tubes, other than they're supposed to sound great. Didn't even realize it was blown because ive never heard it with an unblown one so it seems! Whether i connect only FR/FL or SR/SL even CEN/SW, it just plays across all...

Ordered 4x JJ EL84 tubes from a local supplier to replace the smaller ones. The bigger ones look pristine so going to leave those for now. Will do with the electricians check! Thanks EDIT: Also noted that this amp seems to "merge" all the 5.1ch together into just one garbled stereo output...

This is what i would like to know as well. If it's a hazard will probably try find a replacement or stop using it

I'm 100% sure its a typo which I believe is normal for "unbranded" Chinese products, and theres nothing on the back, just inputs. It does say its made by "UK Audio Advanced" which turns up nothing in a Google search. The tubes seem to be "J Grade" Shuguang Chinese tubes (courtesy of Google)...
