I also have the A-S2100. It's in an opened backed cabinet and I have never had any issues with it getting hot, just runs slightly warm. Great Amp

Something like this should work for you. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Speaker-Pin-Connectors-Gold-Plated-2mm-Banana-Plugs-Screw-Terminal-PINCON01-/161015079778?hash=item257d3f2362:g:FVgAAOxy9dVTkIZF

Thank you all for getting back to me. It was the amp spec that was confusing.... Headphone jack rated ouput powerCD, etc ( 1KHZ, 32 ohm 0.2%THD ) 25mW + 25mW

Hi, I have been looking at sennheiser HD650 headphones which are rated at 300ohm. Would any one know if these would work OK with a yamaha A-S1100 ? Iv'e seen it mentioned that a separate headphone amp is needed with these headphones but cannot find a straight answer. Hope someone can help.

Brilliant, you lost me a bit though with " via mapping a network drive (drive letter, like the C drive) on your computer." Final questin for now.. is there anything particular I should look out for or avoid when buying a nas ? Cheers

Great, I appreciate your help. Am I right in thinking that once I get a nas and transfer the rips to it, I can then delete the rips in mediamonkey to free up space on my computer ? If I was to then go back onto mediamonkey would I still be able to play music from the nas ? I'm sure I will get...

So far I have mannaged to download mediamoinkey and rip a couple of cd's using flac. I can play this through the computer fine. I think what's confusing me is where do I go from here ? I like the sound of a nas, which I think would mean I wouldn't need to switch the computer on all the time...

Thank you for the suggestions. The more I look into this the more complicated it gets. Maybe I should just stick with a CD player , it seems alot easier.

Hi, is there such a thing as a streamer that will work with flac and has a digital out to connect direct to an amp with a dac ? All I want to do is access my computer to play my cd collection. I have not ripped them yet but was planning on using flac as it seems to be the best option. Ive...

What do people think of the what hifi reviews on mains cables ? Such as........ Stereo hi-fi equipment sounds cleaner, crisper and more articulate. The dynamics are more forceful but there's not a hint of exaggeration or excess. We've certainly heard more dramatic-sounding mains cables...

Thanks for the input so far. There seems to be conflicting reviews as always, I see some people are calling them chinese coppies of the castle brand and say they are not in the same league ? Others are saying they sound rather nice. I prefer a smoother sounding speaker and most reviews seem...

Hi all, Does any one have the above speakers ? I would be interested to hear opinions on this range, particularly the floorstanding version. Thank you

With so many settings it can be hard to know what to adjust. I think basic colour, brightness and contrast settings are all that can be adjusted near enough correct without some sort of calibration equiptment. You can try different colour temps, warm, normal or cool depending on your...

I have the GT plasma and also have a slight green tint to skin tones. Also any panning shots with faces in I get a double image and green-pink skin tones. Not that happy with the TV in general and I doubt any calibration will help with this sort of thing. I certainly won't be wasting any more...
