I'm very happy with the CP2. I'm using it with a vintage Goldring GL75 fitted with a Goldring E1 cartridge and the results are excellent! Having the balance control and the subsonic filter are very useful. Very happy!

I bought this a couple of weeks ago from the Plymouth store and received fantastic service from Paul and the team. I had done a lot or prior research and knowing that I was going to team up the new AV receiver to Monitor Audio Bronze 2 and Bronze...

Audio snobs will look down their noses the Sound Blaster E5, but I see—and hear—a ton of value in this little box. I’ll probably never use some of its features—the integrated mics, the CrystalVoice effects, and Scout Mode among them—but the E5’s...

The 8300A is a hugely capable product but sacrifices a little too much fun for our tastes

Yamaha R-N402D Great features and setting it up was easy. But after 10 mins of listening to some music I noticed in the background of some quiet passages a buzzing hum noise coming more from the left channel speaker. Switched of the music source and...

Best microsystem up to £400, Awards 2011. It works best with better speakers, but even with Denon’s own-brand units, the D-M38DAB is an absolute cracker

Overall we’re highly impressed by what the CR-N755 has to offer. The generous functionality reads like a hi-fi glossary – AUPEO!, CD, DLNA, FM/AM radio, Last.fm, Spotify, USB, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as optional extras.

The Pioneer U-05 is a solid, appealing machine that feels like a premium piece of hi-fi – and it sounds like one, too. There are subtler, more refined performers for similar money (our Award-winning Audiolab M-DAC is the clearest rival here), but that...

Some people like Onkyo's, some others prefer Pioneer or Denon. People with money to burn buy VERY expensive receivers. I've always gone for Yamaha. Subtle black box that does it all for me. The "Silent Cinema" DSP is superb. I only use headphones. This...

Hey, if dollars per kilogram is your measure of value for home-theatre receivers, then at nearly 18kg, the Yamaha Aventage RX-A2010 is right up there. If you want high-quality all-around performance, excellent connectivity, excellent sound and good...

USB DACs are nothing new, but all the ones we’ve seen to date are less portable than the DragonFly, even though some are capable of producing excellent sound. It’s the simplicity of Audioquest’s design and its quality of sound that take the appeal of...
