I thought I got a bargain when I paid north of 500 for this DAC. Got it in 2016 and still using it now. Only limited by whatever the digital feed to it is. At this price it’s a steal. GLWTS

Absolutely belting little amps, these. Bought mine in 2017 following your recommendation of them and still using them now. They are going nowhere! GLWTS.

Last gig I went to was Opeth in Glasgow, with my eldest, who’s a big fan. Was fully expecting the Motörhead experience, so purchased ear defenders beforehand, but was pleasantly surprised by restraint shown on the volume knob by the sound engineer and we didn’t need them. Sound quality was only...

Eeee, ya bugger! If these had come up a few months back I would have been on these like a rash. Splashed the cash on a pair of KEF R500s though.

Did you get them, then?

If I had money, I’d be on these. Bump and GLWTS.

For sale in 'as new' condition. It's had a Hoya pro1 daylight filter on it since purchase (which is included in the purchase price), and has seen very little use as I find I'm relying on the camera on my phone most of the time. It has the lens hood and all the original packaging too. Will post...

Now sold

These are the black anodised 27 volt output ones, designed specifically for their fabulous class D Monoblock amps and are in excellent condition. Purchased from new about 3 years ago and recently given a fresh ‘MOT’ by John Clayton. They are a big step up from the standard power supplies that...

Yeah, better hifi was in a basement IIRC. Coincidentally, it was next door to the Vaults, a mainly civil service frequented pub which had Linn Saras at either end of the bar.

It was a good shop, Better Hifi. I acquired a Cambridge Audio P70 from there and it was a bloody great amp for the money. Also purchased my first CD player from there, too. A Marantz CD50SE.
