There are a few companies, try Sable International. Office in CT and London. Can't vouch for them, but a buddy of mine says they are close to securing him a UK passport. Takes a few months and more than a few Pounds.

Apologies for the hijack, I've assumed that the Pioneer SX-410 has the same amplifier section as the SA-400? Looks like the same transformers and valves?

If you open a song in Tidal, and then select cast from the little icon in the bottom left hand corner, it's much easier than going through Google home. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Fully agreed, tape is crazy (but what do I know?), each to his own. You had me at VU meters. I'm a simple man.....

You're not wasting anyone's time, we all love talking about this stuff, don't worry!

I fully concur with the chaps above. I have a pair in my garage driven by a chromecast audio straight into a Quad 303, fills a four car garage surprisingly well.

And tiny portions.

Is all this magic still working well?  :drool:

Closest price on the google box is R 6 444, for what that's worth. Although this is probably a demo, I'm quite sure it would carry the full warranty.

https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-amplifiers/other/marantz-pm5005-integrated-amplifier/1003846584450910000120609 This is also good value, a mate of mine has the previous model. Nice warm sound, certainly relative to the Yamaha anyhow (in my humble opinion!). Bit under powered, but should drive those...

mmmmm....... VU meters.......

100% agree, losing the Isle of Man TT was was sent me over the edge with them!

Thanks for the input. I've done a bit of research and it seems only the top end AVR's support digital pass through to the zone 2 line/pre-outs. I need to play Tidal trough my chromecast ultra into the HDMI and then from zone 2 analogue RCA's into my stereo integrated. Basically I'm trying to...

Hello comrades, I am currently streaming Netflix etc through a chromecast ultra into a basic Denon avr-x520bt via HDMI. I'm bot much of a TV guy, I have a separate stereo setup for music. I was wondering if I upgraded the AVR to something like a Marantz SR5008 with zone 2 pre-outs, could I...

Agreed, Tidal for FLAC reasons alone. I had Deezer before, definitely better platform. Spotify is apparently far better, but I've convinced myself that I can't live with MP3, so Tidal it is.

I too, was sucked in. Popped in to have a quick look, left with 7 records. I only had half an hour! Good variety. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Thanks, Good advice (as usual)!

Thanks FD, I'm well aware of the dangers. It should be noted though, that I reckon half the country uses that trick! Most not very aware of the risks.... That aside, are there power quality issues associated with DIY basic genies (using an extension cord), assuming obviously that they are not...
