Not sure how google works, maybe search results are geographic? I've been able to find it several times and always on the second page. I'd link to it but not sure if that's allowed here?? You could PM me ;)

The hi-fi+ review is available for those interested. Google 'Auralic Vega Review' and halfway down the second page of results is a PDF.

To be honest I might just bite the bullet and order from Custom Designs. I've had Paul's stands and hifi racks before and as you say the quality is first rate :)

Nope :( still trying to get this resolved and its dragging on now. Sent your drawings off to a couple of fabrication firms in the area so hopefully will get somewhere soon!

I need to thank Raj for the heads up on getting XLR's supplied foc with my 25A's last month. Thanks Raj!! ATC supplied Belden 8761. Pre amp wise I'm using the Auralic Vega, which I can thoroughly recommend! :)

RS3s.....stunning with the Brio R IMHO. I tried some monitor audio, Neats, PMC but nothing worked as well as Rega's own speaker.

I bought TDL2's in 1995 as part of my first separates system. Loved them, and I'm not sure I enjoy my current system much more than I did that one. Nostalgia maybe?

The Audioengine A2 are a superb product....I regret selling mine. I would imagine that fed from one of these inexpensive usb dac/headphone amps they would be even better! Audioquest Dragonfly - £215 Audioengine A2 - £165 Good luck!

I never really managed to get along with the Headline myself- I've owned it on two separate occasions though not powered by a hicap. I also demo'd one with Grado GS1000i and the top Grado PS which the dealer owned himself....all very underwhelming. I ended up with the hifiman HE6 which I ran...

Looking forward to hearing what peoples views are on this too!

My service from them was appalling. Shame because the product sounded great. I was very very relieved the dealer took it back from me.

I bought an XS expecting a big improvement but ended up returning it and keeping my Nait5i-2. Try and audition if you possibly can. Many prefer the sound of the XS!

Finding the right headphones is probably as much of the battle here in my experience anyway. If you're on the train, you'll want to cut out all the noise going on around and just get the music! I can vouch for the Ultimate Ears range of headphones....they can be very akward at first until...
