Thanks!

Good day all, I have recently embarked on a DIY speaker building project with parts ordered from the US. My very last connection in the crossover was a 8 Ohm / 10W wire wound resistor (I assume it is a Jantzen item). Unfortunately, the wire broke 0.1mm from the core and has become ultimately...

Thanks for the input. My last message aims to provide method to the madness. As far as equipment is concerned: Primary: Rega Elicit-R amp Yamaha CD-S2100 (used as disc & Dac source) Yamaha (circa 1970's) running Audio-Technica headshell to accommodate Grado Blue Cartridge - very nice sound...

Thanks guys, I couldn't get to the forum yesterday to form part of the debate, but you all have valid arguments. Firstly, I would have loved to listen to the Encore's before committing, but it seems that, quite controversially so, GR Research don't even supply many youtubers with review...

I went down another rabbit hole this week and was about to pull the trigger last night before sanity kicked in and thought I'd ask for some advice from the forum. I am looking to upgrade my current speakers (KEF Q350) and was initially tempted by the ProAc Response DB3 (second hand) or Spendor...

Thanks Francois, and all the rest for your advice. I've decided to pull the trigger and will be picking it up today. Unfortunately it'll have to live in my budget system for a while until I can upgrade my amp/speakers to comparable levels. At the very least the DAC will improve on what I'm...

I can't sell what I do not own. Genuinely just looking for some sound advice before taking the plunge into trading. For the record, I would happily live with either of the players in replacing my faithful NAD C521BEE. It would also allow me to upgrade my DAC options for PC (Cyrus Soundkey)...

Good day all, I've been granted the opportunity to get into some Yamaha CD players at a pretty good discounted price and was hoping to find out more about the value of these components in the market. My current need is leaning more towards upgrading my amplification/speakers but I'm struggling...

Thank you all for your input! I will try out the suggestions in order of ease/practicality and will report back on the easiest fix. Definitely got more options on the forum than all Google had to offer....

Thanks windshear The amp and sources are all connected to a surge protected multiplug, to which the speaker cables to the sub (via amp) run linear along the wall. The sub itself is connected to the same wall plug, via adopter, as the multiplug mentioned. As mentioned before, room design /...

Thanks for the advise Timber_MG, I will definitely look into a solution w.r.t. speaker cable/power line proximity, as they currently do run linear to each other... again due to room restrictions and sub placement. When researching sub setup I remember there being mention made of possible issues...

Thanks for the reply.... I do not (can not) run a dedicated subwoofer cable to the sub. I have to use the speaker line (high level) into the sub from the amp speaker terminals. Do you suggest trying better speaker cables to solve the issue? The cables I currently use aren't the "best" but I...

Good day members, I recently installed a subwoofer as part of my home stereo setup. The system consists of: - Marantz PM6005 - Q Acoustics Concept 20 - Various sources - B&W ASW610 My listening area has always been a nightmare in reproducing bass (not so much the Concept 20's fault, it...
