    [FS] Accuphase A-36 Class A power amplifier

    I really enjoyed my time with this amp. I am still saving the pennies for the next Accuphase amp that will replace it, which will cost nearly 3x more.

    The Photography Purchase Confessional Thread (GAS)

    Somehow the subtly different lines of the FM2 looks so much nicer than the FE. Such a shame they ballsed up the styling on the FM3.

    TANNOY....

    I suppose we will never know the answer since the profit and loss of the various brands within the conglomerate would not be in the public domain. If Tannoy UK was still making some money it would be a terrible decision to do the restructuring they did to chase every last penny because of the...

    TANNOY....

    I suspect the harsh reality is that the former operation out of Coatbridge was not profitable. High end hifi is a declining niche market and the destructive impact of Brexit would have incentivized the owners to restructure the business. It is disappointing that the owners are not transparent...

    Luxman/Accuphase/Yamaha - Quality?

    If anyone is tempted to try a recent class A Accuphase power amp, I have just posted an IC thread in the classified section. I am considering going further up the Accuphase line :)

    [IC] Accuphase A36 Class A Power Amplifier

    Due to an upcoming home move I will need to have the main system in storage for a while. I have therefore decided that it is a good time to sell my A36 power amplifier to gather some funds to go further up the line in the Accuphase range. I have my eyes on an A48 :). The A36 was only...

    Confused about Tannoy

    I would certainly be annoyed with that if paying the eye-watering retail price for these (if anyone actually pays this, I get the impression that there is quite a margin for negotiation). The only time I ever bought brand new speakers was Dynaudio Contours 16 years ago. The dealer warned...

    The over-hyped Eversolo DMP A6: Some Impressions

    Thanks for this. Maybe I will find the enthusiasm to test this soon. I found a help file on headfi to get Tidal and HQP working with squeeze on antipodes. It would be impossible to work out all the steps without this guide, it is definitely in the domain of IT enthusiasts, which is not...

    The over-hyped Eversolo DMP A6: Some Impressions

    A follow up question. How do you actually use squeezelite player? Just had a look on the app store and there is no app. Wikipedia suggests that you need to control it through a web site.

    The over-hyped Eversolo DMP A6: Some Impressions

    How do those solutions integrate with Tidal and HQP? Perhaps one day I will try. You have a seriously good front end so perhaps the differences will be less evident on more modest gear.

    The over-hyped Eversolo DMP A6: Some Impressions

    I am surprised you paid a yearly sub for Roon for 9 years. I bought a lifetime sub in 2018 which at the time was equivalent to three years annual sub. Therefore it has been free for the last 3 years. I haven’t had any significant technical issues. I have used it on Innuos and Antipodes...

    Confused about Tannoy

    How long was the trial period? These are known to require a lengthy break-in period. I bought mine used so already broken in and they sound wonderful. Not a hint of harshness. It would be interesting to hear the thoughts of experts in driver/ crossover manufacturing regarding the chances of...

    Confused about Tannoy

    From what I can see on the Tannoy web site the SGM series is being sold in parallel with the legacy series. They seem to pitch them as a replica of the old studio monitors, which from what I have read are perhaps not the best choice for home use. Cooky can probably elaborate on the sound...
