Re: Devialet 170

Hmmm, 15 minutes of non-classical listening would suggest that my earlier post might have been hasty. The fight isn't over yet! I'm out tonight so I'll have no more time, but this really is an impressive machine. Really interested in hearing more. Was thinking of spending around 2k on a dac and str...

Re: Blade Runner

Strange, must've been my first taste of good hifi at the time and it was played pretty loud too but my brother was there also I guess our memory of it is clouded by time. Yeah End Credits was the track.......all these years I just put it down to the need of really high end equipment to reproduce it ...

Re: Buying/searching on the net how do you do it?

I remember asking for your advice on tvs a long time ago when you had a pioneer plasma Diapason!
Now here you are again giving advice on amps.

I remember you had a krell integrated which I was interested in too but since then you really spent some serious money!

It's easier for a lot of you guys as I guess most of the members on the forums here are in and around Dublin but I'm down in Cork so I think most of the time a home demo woul...

Just wondering how you guys buy new seperates when you start upgrading. I'm currently looking for an integrated and after I upgraded I usually stay away from forums to save money 8) But looking for an integrated or any parts for that matter you get some seriously good value going down the 2nd hand r...

Re: HIFI for sale
