I need some diamond tipped isolation feet

Don't forget the Mpingo platter and disks... spacial sextet

It really is a sextet of dream catchers.

“They are all based on simple high school physics - "Sympathetic Resonance". As all elements in this universe will resonate when like pattern energy is generated from another material.”

Was I off that day?

[markedkiller78]

Any recommendations for a cheap(ish) good(ish) integrated amp?

[SuperPang]

How cheap and remind me what your speakers are.

[markedkiller78]

Second system cheap. No speakers as yet

[SuperPang]

Your first decision is whether to take a punt on second hand or go to a dealer and buy new. The former offers more bang for buck but you're more likely to find a sound you like with the latter. Richer Sounds have loads of cheap integrated options. I'd personally buy Japanese, Marantz, Yamaha, Onkyo etc.

[SuperPang]

With a 5 minute supermarket sweep at RS with a circa £500 budget I'd go for Marantz PM6006 and DALI ZENSOR 1.

This is what I use with my PC/bookshelf speakers, it’s excellent.

[markedkiller78]

Cheers Bros I’ve never owned or played with any Marantz stuff, but did see the Onkyo. Easiest thing is to listen to yours one day

[Rossyra]

At your pleasure.

I'm just gonna leave this here and slowly back away.

What's the benefit of a really thick cable?

[SuperPang]

Not what I’m looking for but some clever **** here:

[CTN]

GrimmAudio did that years before and their LS1 sounded glorious at a dealer, also at about half the price. And the active KEF LS50 do it for a tenth of the price, also not bad.

[SuperPang]

Google have confirmed they have stopped production of the Chromecast Audio. A great little device for adding streaming functionality to your stereo. Grab one while you can.

[SuperPang]

There are a fair few but none of them are £30.

[thegreathopper]

Sonos connect is my favourite streamer, I go from that to a Chord Hugo TT and couldn’t be happier with the sound.

[SuperPang]

I've been very happy with my TT. Lovely bit of kit. I'm hoping to demo the TT2 against the Luxman DA-06 later in the year, funds permitting.

Are you using it for headphones or it hooked up to an amp? It works really well as a digital pre-amp as well if ultimate transparency is your thing.

[thegreathopper]

My Chord TT feeds a pair of ATC SCM50 active towers, I would love to have a listen to the TT2.

[thegreathopper]

Ultimate transparency is what I am trying for, but... I did have a bit of a play with the DSP settings on my Roon trial, it’s only a two week trial and probably not going to join up.

[SuperPang]

My Chord TT feeds a pair of ATC SCM50 active towers, I would love to have a listen to the TT2.

Ooh, very nice. Would love to blow the cobwebs away with some Massive Attack on those.

I'm sure the TT2 is great but I'm a bit skeptical about the M-Scaler and the ferrite covered BNC cables people are buying to sort out the RFI.
