Thank you Gentlemen. Much appreciated. I'm going to try and track down the disk in the UK as amazon are out and there is a more user friendly MK II version out. Good review on YouTube of the Disney WOW calibration disk so that may be an option. TV still ok Strapped ? Anything I should be...

Thanks BigBoss, the disc didn't get the best reviews so I may look at pro callibration after the 200 hours. I'll have a crack at it myself at the weekend using the WHF vid. Thanks again.

Good Morning Gentleman, Been posting a bit on the Hi-Fi forum with great results re: advice for my system and nows the time to pop over the road to the TV section to see if I can borrow a bit of your experience. Recently got the house near as damn it finished and have been installing the...

Yep thats it. (Feels strange giving advice as I'm a newbie too :) , but not to many people about tonight) I'm loving listening to my old vinyl again. Can't believe I was in John Lewis today and they're selling vinyl. Not much, but reasonably cheap. £20 for an LP and matching CD combo.

Its cost me already. If I can waste money on , and I quote, '' Geek cr*p '' , then I can afford to buy the 50 inch 3d Telly her and my daughters want. This will enable them to watch 'what Peter did next', Jeremy Kyle and the delightful Kerry Katona in glorious inky blacks. As my Mother told me...

Ha Ha, indeed, but I'd say with the amount of time she's spent in the panel beaters getting it all re-shaped, the cushions may be more leathery than my sofa ! should be able to pick the sonos up early next week so I'll gice the connection advice a go then.

Yes bit of piercing with the vinyl at past 10 and the cd at 10. No more testing tonight or she's going to smash the f'in thing to f'in pieces apparently ! Charming . Room needs softening I think, before I make any costly adjustments and need to get used to the dial at 9.30 rather than 10. Room...

The wife has their greatest hits album so I'm giving that a go in comparison. On the previous test the CD was noticably louder than the vinyl on the same dial setting so that probably was a big factor. Have the Stones on at the mo at half 9 on the dial and no bad harshness but I have had it...

Just done a very interesting experiment. (well for me anyhow :) ) I have in my vinyl box The Beautiful South's Song For Whoever, which was given to me by an ex in 89 but never played as I'd had no system since 86. Played it at 10 on the dial and it sounded superb,no crackling like my other vinyl...

They were using Chord speaker cables. I'm using Tellurium Q Blue with Atlas Compass from CDP to Dac and Atlas Equator MKIII from DAC to amp

I'm pressuming they do :? The blurb on each and every one seems to say so, apparently clamps are better than weights at doing it. Not buying into the manufactures s**te that they increase mid range, base, et al and make your TT super dooper though.

I could ask, I'm buying all the sonos stuff from them so theres a chance he may. Thing is, on one of my demo Cd's Alanis Morrisette sounded very piercingly hissy with the arcam but not with the K2. I felt the K2 filled her out more in the demo room but she's back to hissy again in this room. But...

Funny you should say that Cno, I demoed the K2 v the Arcam A19 and bolder was the word I used to the retailer to describe the K2 and was the reason I picked it. Thompsonuxb: yes 9 is fine and even at 10 its only on certain tracks that the problem comes into play so I think you have valid points...

Is harshness a trait of the K2 ?

And saving me a bit too :cheers: Looks ideal. Thanks
