I was not even aware of such a combination until I saw a text that talked about this kind of setup. The guiding thread was that the preamplifier in the ND8006 was a better option than the preamplifier in the PM8005. I don't use a turntable, but mainly Internet radio and Deezer. Occasionally a...

Hello everyone. I have a question regarding integrated amplifiers. I've never thought about it but it crossed my mind. I own a Marantz ND 8006 and a Marantz PM 8005. Both have a preamplifier in them and the PM 8005 can also be used as a power amplifier. Does it make sense to use the ND 8006 as a...

Although, as stated above, the majority of us use integrated devices, the design of them is subject to the same guidelines. When we talk about classic HIFI design, my favorite is the Denon DRA-CX3 (2007). A simple, minimalist approach with premium materials in a form that is still attractive...

Yes, I am aware of that. I didn't find almost a single review even though the speaker is not exactly from yesterday..

Hello, I am thinking of adding a subwoofer to my QA Concept 20. I use them in the bedroom. I'm curious about experiences with the Pro-Ject Sub 50 box. They fit me in size and price. An alternative is the REL T-Zero. I believe I won't go wrong with REL, but I'm curious to hear experiences with...

I am using Sonus Faber Venere 2.0 with PM8005. If you can use stands....it is pretty good combination.

Of the newer 2 channel receivers in this range, I would pay attention to the Marantz PM7000n (it has a built-in HEOS streamer so you automatically get Internet radio) or Yamaha NR803D which has everything from FM, internet radio to ... I don't know what.

My first HiFi setup (1996) was the Sony Scala II (amplifier, tuner, cd, cassette player) combined with the B&W 302. I was always weak on these mini / midi components, so I started spinning them as my second bedroom system. Technics, Teac, Yamaha, Sony I tried all possible variations of the...

This gentleman, Aki Rahimovski, one of the most recognizable vocalists in the history of the Croatian music scene, was buried yesterday ....

Maybe Roon will soon be available on HEOS products

Since they are part of Sound United, who owns HEOS, I would not be suprised that in near future they become part of HEOS enabled speakers..

Hello everyone, I realized I was especially weak on mini systems. Especially those who deserve the epithet "mini HIFI". I came across this: Denon RCD-CX1 SACD / CD. The comments are pretty positive, and it leaves the impression of a hi end hifi device (I don’t like that term). Given that their...

An interesting debate. So the ideal approach would be to combine mass to reduce vibration and additional material to insulate the remaining vibration?

Even though I have been in the hifi world for a long time (occasionally) for the first time, I understand that there are basically two basic approaches: -fixing to the dresser -isolation from the dresser. That already makes sense to me. Is it possible to draw a parallel in the approach...

Thank you for your reply. In essence it is a TV dresser. Unfortunately simply have no place for stands, and I believe that many are in a similar problem. On the other hand, in the HIFI world, stands are a must have for bookshelf speakers and that’s OK if there’s room for the same. I think I have...
