Hi, I recently bought a pair of Tannoy Mercury M2's and have just borrowed an ordinary Marantz PM-583. I borrowed the Marantz because the shop was waiting on a series of amps to come in. So meanwhile, I have been waiting for about one and half months and have been rethinking my decision about waiting on this new amp. The amplifier is an Amber 60C (a brand which I have never heard of, no reviews,...

I had a demonstration of the ATC Active 10s today. I was very impressed, particularly with their natural sound, superb imaging and seemingly unlimited headroom. The new SCM 20-2 actives are similarly tempting, but a little out of my price range and I also have a feeling that the 10s may be more suitable for my room. I shall partner them with the CA2 pre-amplifier if I decide to go ahead with...

I've just got a Precious Metals CopperTech Alpha interconnect and amongst the many "interesting" claims in the brochure was the following:- "It is a one piece, solder free design which produces a join that maintains constant impedance. If it is used for 75 Ohm connections, such as digital or composite video, then that is what you get: 75 Ohm tip to tip. That cannot be said of soldered designs....

I'm trying to gauge whether there would be any interest in these speakers. Need to get rid of them as they are taking up too much space. I was considering putting them on ebay but I really need a ballpark figure as to what there worth. Dont have much info on them, but all I can say is currently they are run off a 25Wrms amp and they are very loud and clear. Thanks

Last night I removed the CDM9 Pro transport from my CD Player and was amazed to find that when I shook it, it sounded completely different from the CD transport I took out of a cheap Aiwa. It had a less plastic sound and I concuded it was because it was partly made of metal. Can anybody confirm that CD mechs do sound different or am I alone on this? My 6 year old daughter could also hear the...

"kake" wrote I contacted an Ebay seller to request the serial no. of an item of equipment, and they said they were unwilling to reveal the no. due to the possibility of people trying to disguise stolen equipment - does this seem like a legitimate concern, or should I read this as a warning signal, and avoid placing a bid. TIA. Many people will not give serial numbers of hi fi on...

Hi Having just joined the world of home cinema I find I need a digital interconnect between DVD player & Amp, which is the preferred method, optical or co-ax? Cheers Nige

While they don't advertise the fact very widely, if you have a Plextor drive then Plextools will allow you to extract from, or at least copy, just about all copy protected audio CD's.
