    Possible need for new speakers

    Recommendations needed... I'm probably going to need a change in speakers, ive just moved from a house with a 4,m X 6.5m living room to one that's 3.5 long X 4.5 wide. I can't see my 753's being unobtrusive enough in the new place. Hifi is vintage 8000c / p combo, new 8200cd, mission 753...

    digital files - digital errors

    I use my audiolab 8200 to process files from a pc (connected via a USB), thers is an accassional 'digital error' display message on the CD player with an accompanying audible click. Looking around on the internet there are various free error correction programs that are downloadable. Does...

    Amp recommendationsBudget

    All good points. what do I miss or want from the amp? Back in the old days I had a mk1 caspian pre, power and cd with pt2/Tabriz, it rocked like the 8000a doesn't. I'm actually pretty happy with cd playback but it runs out of steam with vinyl(the phono stage is significantly quieter than line...

    I have an audiolab 8000a at the moment and I'm think I got of an upgrade. The living room is 4m x 6.5m and its partnered with an audiolab 8200cd, mission 753 (not freedom) and a Project RPM4 with Ortofon Blue. The siting is pretty good with the speakers facing down the room and plenty of free...

    Turntable isolation

    Thanks for the ideas people. I went into English audio in Hereford today for some advice today as well, nice chaps. Think I'll try the a shelf with screws though as a starting point as this will level and isolate for next to zero money. If it works well that leaves budget for a replacement...

    Turntable isolation

    the legs don't appear to be adjustable. It looks like I need an adjustable plinth and the ones I've seen so far aren't. I haven't considered budget but on an rpm 4, audiolab 8000 set up 200 quid doesn't seem appropriate. What do you reckon?

    Turntable isolation

    I have a Project RPM4 turntable with a couple of placement issues. It sits on an an extremely heavy wooden shelving unit that isn't quite level, and despite the weight vibration can still be felt though the shelf when the volume is cranked up. I've bodged the levelling issue by using paper...
