Hi-Fi Corner

I have heard these mentioned as the bees knees for CD-amp (in my case Marantz 67SE-CDNait 2) How does one get hold of them, as they seem to be unavailable anywhere. Are they available from dealers, or is the cable sold as is to be made up by oneself?....

Apologies if I have miss-spelt the name! I have just recieved a brochure on this gear and it looks the part as well as having a good sonic reputation. What is bugging me is how it works with half-case equipment like the Hi-cap or Lingo? Is it able to...

Yesterday my system sounded 'grey' it was all there except there was no sweetness, and it was uninvolving. I even started to consider that the Karik knockers might have something. Then in the evening it sounded ab fab again, so much so that I stayed...

I've just purchased a used turntable through Ebay - it's a Thorens TD160B MkII and comes with an Rega RB250 arm. The seller has been told the arm has had the "Origin Live modifications" but he's not sure what that means. Anyone know what these...

More of a DIY than a Hi-Fi question this.As I've been listening to my turntable a bit more recently I've noticed the occasional footfall problem causing the record to skip. To combat this I've invested in a turntable shelf - a Wallnut II (see...

If you're under thirty years old; sorry, but this one is for the fogeys!! (unless you were a professional leaflet collector, like me!!)Just picked up some LNB Paralab Supers and stands, in teak and in great nick, for £20 from a second hand telly...

I'm currently looking at a replacement (or maybe supplement) to my old 250 to power my rather old Isobariks. Does anyone with experience of the Klout and 135s tell me how they sound in comparison to each other. I will hopefully borrow a friend pair of...

Last year I had a seperate spur installed by an electrician, to whom I had explained that it was recommended by Naim that I get one rated at least 30amps. The spur was installed and I thought nothing more of it really. I had looked at the individual...

A new rug alows me some more flexability in placement. What is the optimal distance between the speakers and the listener (they are about 6.6 feet apart)? How far from the wall behind them (measured from the speaker's rear port? Effective room width...

Now I don't know much about turntables but I have a project deck (1.5 I think) which I've had for about 5 years and use occasionally (I'm listening to Pisces Iscariot by the Smashing Pumpkins on it at the moment). I still buy the occasional LP (mostly...

Hi, I want to change my speakers which are currently B&W Cdm 7se and would value your expert opinions on what to listen to. My amps are 72+Hicap(soon to be upgraded to 52/supercap) 135`s.

I go to a lot of live concerts and own over 100 live dvd shows and i want to feel as if i am there so do SBL`s rock with Bass that i will be able to feel as well as hear and what is their loudness capability?

I went to the recent Manchester Hi-Fi show to see the Fraim and whilst there my wife noticed the hne (www.hne.co.uk) granite support system. She much prefered the look of these and I admit they looked good.But....Has anyone had any experience with...
