    How to send hifi item to Germany for repair?

    Posted the Altair off to Doug Brady Hifi and they are going to sort it out with Auralic. It will still go back to Germany but they will do commercial pro-formas etc which *should* make it easier. Auralic have been in touch directly and given RMA number etc - CEO Xuanqian Wang himself emailed me...

    How to send hifi item to Germany for repair?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I will do a search on shipping abroad. Any clues how to go about finding a repair in the UK? The item is all securely packed in original packaging and ready to go - very happy to post and ideally in the UK. Who might do it in the UK?

    How to send hifi item to Germany for repair?

    My Auralic Altair G1 has got a fault (blowing fuse all the time) and so I need to send back for repair, and their nearest centre is Germany! Has anyone got a clue how to send an item to EU for repair and avoid VAT on the value of the item?? Many thanks Paul (If someone has the skill to...

    [WTD] Omega watch service.

    I agree. I use the previously mentioned Watch Guy for all my watch repair and servicing. They have serviced my IWC, Rolex and Omega who all say you can’t get parts but there is a whole 2nd market in these parts and most are available. Sometimes i have sourced the part myself and they have taken...

    [WTD] Omega watch service.

    Another vote for Christian and team. Always use them for my watches. An IWC needed a new winder but IWC refuse to sell parts so I found the part (with their help) posted it to them and all sorted. I post to them with Royal Mail Special Delivery. And they are fast with the service because they...

    Easiest way to stream music from iPhone to AE1 Actives

    Thanks everyone. I bought an Apple lightning to 3.5mm adapter, and the 3.5mm to 2xXLR cable and plugged that into my existing XLR cables on the AE1 Actives. All works brilliantly! My AE1 Active XLR cables are 6m so the whole thing is perfect for a church!!

    Easiest way to stream music from iPhone to AE1 Actives

    I can find 3.5mm mini-jack to 2 x XLR cable which would work for stereo so I could maybe go : iPhone -> lightning/3.5mm jack converter -> 3.5mm jack to 2 x XLR and into the AE1s?? Or can I get from the stereo output of the iPhone via lightning to a single XLR and that would get me into the...

    Easiest way to stream music from iPhone to AE1 Actives

    Hi, We have a wedding coming up and need a track to be played in church. The sound system is very basic microphone/speakers using single XLR connections for sources (eg; microphones). I don't have an easy source to output to single XLR but I do have some AE1 Actives! My thinking was to put the...

    Recommendations for short speaker stands

    For entirely cosmetic reasons I am trying to find some short (eg; not tall) speaker stands for my newly acquired AE1 Actives. I realise they deserve to be at "ear-level" but I need to fit them in lower than that. Any recommendations for makes/versions that would suit the physical side? (The...

    Active speakers or not?

    Quick final question; XLR or RCA for the speaker connections? I would estimate the distance to be about 5m - never used XLR before

    Active speakers or not?

    I have had the passive original AE1 in the past and they were great. They were replaced in my office with PMC Twenty.23s which I prefer for that little bit more bass. However this second setup is more about appearances! So, just Auralic Altair G1 to stream to the active AE1s works well as a...

    Active speakers or not?

    AE1 Actives purchased off the classifieds! Will update when I have installed and lived with them for a while. Thanks for the discussion --P
