Much appreciated for your comments.. I had been considering some vinatge Kef Codas and also Kef floor standing speakers although done enough research really to know whats best. I've not heard a lot of systems so its hard to sort the wood from the chaff. Also I wasn't looking at hifi kit from...

Hi BigH. I'd like to spend about £150.

Hi all I am a bit of an ain't broke don't fix it man but I'm starting to find the sound I get from my old Mission 760s a bit average when I compare the sound with the Kef Q100s I have on my other system. I realise "a bit average" is not a great description. They are still quite lively but I'm...

I've been a bit of a while to post the update on my Marantz, it had a faulty IC unit. Some of you may be interested in this type of problem. Thanks

Hi guys, loads of help ! Spending a £100 and taking a chance sounds like a good idea. I too love FM but my favourite station is on digital, Radio6. I will also look into the cost of a an aerial. I had an amusing exchange with the bloke who is selling a DAB Tuner on ebay, he has spent £2k on his...

Hi I'm a keen radio listener. I get a good reception with a Roberts istream portable radio, can I expect to get a good reception with a DAB Tuner? I saw a Cambridge Audio Azur 640T DAB/FM Tuner on ebay at a good price, £100. Would I need a special arial? Are there other good alternatives out...

Thanks Mathew. Yes I am using the phono outputs from the Freesat box - red/white connections. I think I'll send the amp off to one of the recommended agents.

Could do with some input from those who might know. Has this amp let me down or have I somehow overloaded it?

Thanks for your replies. Re user damage, I can't think of a definite reason. However one of the inputs is the audio from a Freesat box, the volume has been up high a couple of times but not defeningly high, the volume had not been left high for more than a few seconds. Could this have done it...

Thanks for the help you gave me, I really appreciate it. In the event I had a demo of some Kef R100 speakers and they were amazing, but of course the amp was a Naim (model unknown). They were also more than I wanted to pay at £600. So whilst I'd like to upgrade my speakers I am still unsure...

I am having problems with a Marantz PM6003 amp and wondered if this is common. Basically the amp hums constantly (I've tried 2 pairs of speakers) and frequently drops into stand-by mode which is apparently protection against speakers less than 4 ohms. I have very little electronics knowledge...

You are probably right about the CD! Its interesting you are not so keen on the Missions doing so well.

Hi My kit is a bit thrown together, mostly given to me as a result of my mate who likes to upgrade! My Marantz PM6003 amp is new but I also use a pair of Mission 760i speakers (which never seem to sound tired) and a Phillips CD from the early 90s, so I guess its the CD that needs upgrading, any...
