however the analog planet review goes on to say... "Overall, the iPhono is an incredible value that offers a level of set-up flexibility unusual at any price and sonic performance that was several notches higher than my most optimistic hopes for the sound. " ... and "At $399, the iPhono has...

yes... Russ Andrews and Sound HiFi both extremely reputable. Looks like it blows everything else anywhere near it in terms of price (and some quite high above it) right out of the water. What HiFi - please test? :)

Anyone used this phono stage? it seems too good to be true at £350. called the iFi iPhono.http://www.ifi-audio.com/en/iPhono.html

Hi Guys, thanks very much for the input I really appreciate it :) I went into the settings of my 875 and increased the intellivolume for the phono input to 12db. This has made a huge difference for vinyl listening. Quite why I didn't do this a while ago is beyond me lol I do suspect however...

That seemsm like an excellent suggestion. I have a 'tape out' at the back of my amp whish is obviously designed for recording... Surely I could use that? *Stupid question warning* - is a step up transformer the same as a phono stage / phono amp?

I currently have a Technics 1210 Turntable + Denon DL 110 Moving Coil Cartridge, connected to my Onkyo 875.I don't use a phono stage / pre-amp at the moment, I just turn the volume up on the amp.I am awaiting delivery of 2 Sonos Connects - one for my lounge and one for my bedroom where I have an...

Ok, so I have sky HD, Apple TV and an iPad (in terms of tv reception) plus Anytime+ from sky. My Panazonic PZ85b has a freeview tuner but I never use it as I have skyHD. My question is, what is YOUVIEW'S Unique Selling Point, or, Point of Difference? Does it offer me anything? or is its target...

Hey, i get this too, its so bizzarre! Only other channel i've noticed it on is ESPN HD when watching sports with a crowd. Very annoying |(

I was thinking the same thing. Demo is not an option - I'm on an island and there are no stockists of any decent gear at all - so it's a buy blind stuation I'm afraid. The seperates have the edge in terms of the functionality, but for simple sound 'ability' they're all similar as you say and...

for hooking up to sky and a Sony s570 blu ray player to a Panasonic V10 http://www.exceptional-av.co.uk/product.php?fdProductId=601 or, spend a little extra on something like this: http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-packages/jamo/a102-hcs5/jamo-a102-blk plus...

Style & Design basics 101 my good man. Unless somethings' an exact match (which you won't get in woods like Cherry)then trying to match will look too forced and odd as they'll kinda be the same but not quite. So, what you do is go for something that still looks in it's place but not too forced...

I've just bought some of the Custom Speaker stands in light oak and with a wax finish to match my Quad 12L2's in cherry. It will look stunning.

honestly mate, Van Damme Blue 2x2.5mm you can't go wrong. can be had for arounf £2 a metre. Buy with confidence.

was worried my awesome Onkyo was pulling a sickie! lol as long as it's ok :) cheers

Just watching Stargate Universe and it's Dolby Digital 5.0 signal being received by my Onkyo 875, not 5.1! Is this right?
