Re: Record player suggestions

Thanks for the suggestions. Forgot about the phono stage. Not sure if my streamer pre/amp has one, will check.
Current set up is nothing exotic and extremely humble by this forums standards.
Naim NAC 272 & 250 DR. Audiolab 6000 CDT and Chord Qutest. Neat iOTA Alphas.

Record player suggestions

I’m thinking of investing in a record player, though I have little to no experience bar an all in one system I used approx 20 years ago. The kids are big enough to know not to touch now, and I have roughly 200 albums I’d like to bring down from the attic and dust off. Ideally looking for something p...

Re: Harbeth 30.2 XD with open frame stands

Sweet Lord - hope these are still available when my funds are. GLTWS (but not too much).

HiFi "unit"

Hi, We're moving house and I'd like to get a HiFi "unit" rather than a rack per se. I'm thinking of something along the lines of this: https://krudfurniture.co.uk/collections/record-player-stands/products/krud-k49-hemlock. However there doesn't appear to be anywhere within Ireland doing th...

Re: Naim 250DR

Hi Tony, I use this amp, and like it very much. Not sure about where is best to sell, there is a naim buy and sell Facebook page. Have you tried to list it there?
Wonder what prompts the sale, and what do you plan to move onto?

Thanks,

Ricky

Re: Pass, Air Tight, Harbeth, Quad,Kuzma, Clearaudio and other items for sale

Hi,

I've attempted to send a PM re: the Harbeths, but it sits in my outbox, and is not listed in the "sent" folder? Unsure what the issue is - can anyone help? Or, could the OP confirm receipt?

Thanks,

Ricky

Re: Where do folks buy their physical media?

Some interesting choices, and the the same name cropping up a coupe of times, will add these shops to my bookmarks.

Will add, as one of the replies alludes to, import duties and taxation have severely hampered my buying power.

Where do folks buy their physical media?

A long time ago, I used to be able to source and buy almost any CD on Amazon, for relative pennies and the cost of shipping. Now the options on Amazon are very limited, and the cost of physical media on Discogs (primarily CD's in my case) is astronomical. You can forget choice in places like Golden ...
