    Question Looking for a Subwoofer for the KEF LS50 Wireless II

    Do it right do it once! Save a touch longer and save for the matching kef KC62. It will integrate perfectly with your mains as it’s designed to work with them. But if you’re unwilling to wait and save for SVS mirco, it will be fine in your spot. It’s a potent little thing.

But PS audio still make one for...

    New amp that changed an uncompromising opinion and beat the opposition so convincingly I took it home

    Sorry to hear about your bad luck Stuart. Hopefully you get it sorted out. I’ve had a few duds in my time and it’s always a disappointing experience

    Question Set-up advice for first turntable, amp & speakers?

    hey up, welcome! Tuntable, do you have any records? if not allocate all your budget to the amp and source/s. its taking up a large portion of your budget. Personally speaking Id go with a completely "dumb" amp like a rotel a11mkii (just released) a nice honest amp! then add a streamer (wiim...

    CD vs vinyl playback

    Quite simply nope. Most of the improvements on the G series are centred around weight and making it inert. Brass platter that sort of thing. And its better put together and slicker in operation but does that affect sound? Does a power supply make any difference? the motor is mean't to be...

    ‘Muddy’ sound using cassette tapes/deck/through quality hi fi components

You can see that in the wave form. From the vinyl master down ill be damed if I can hear a difference between the...

    ‘Muddy’ sound using cassette tapes/deck/through quality hi fi components

    Yeah basically and you’re proving my point! Dude you make out I listen to nothing but vinyl. I’ve been streaming for 25 or so years give it a break. Cowardly, condescending, that’s a little rich my man🤣 no issue, just parts of you’re understanding are wrong. As are probably mine. Any how I...
