Thanks
A spectacle cleaning cloth, maybe?!
Off topic, but...
What do you think of your Primare i32?
Is it powerful and dynamic enough or would you go for a power amp chained in or a pre/power combo?
Does it stream? And is that usuable by old f#rts like me and the wife or will I need a teenager every time 'er indoors wants to bop out to her Madonna CDs?
I'm delighted with it, bearing in mind it was new this year, and succeeded a much loved Krell KAV300 now almost 20 years old. Beautiful clear display, customisable input, silent save for a minute trace of transformer hum, no clicks or pops, runs cool. Dead easy to use - on/off button and one knob does volume, the other input selection. Switches on at lower volume than last used if you want it to, so no nasty surprises. Also a remote, obvs! No sense of strain with my not especially sensitive ATCs in a 7 x 3.5 metre room. It doesn't stream as standard, but you can get an add on module that does.
I have always liked beefy integrated amps, such as the Krell and a Sansui AU-919 many years ago. Once had a Meridian preamp with Musical Fidelity Studio T power amp, that was a show prize - lucky me. Don't think it sounded better, and it did dim the lights when turned on!
Personally I don't have funds or inclination for power amp. Would go ATC active if premium bond came up. The I32 is soon to be replaced, so either check out new models or get one at a discount. I paid £1400 -v- list of £2000. Lots of reviews on Primare website.
