    B&W 606 S2 Anniversary speakers

    Thanks for the reply. I did try a pair of the original LS50 3 years ago partnered with the Marantz PM14 S1SE amp. The amp felt underpowered with the KEF’s despite having double the power of the PM6007. The Marantz PM6007 matches the speakers well.

    B&W 606 S2 Anniversary speakers

    I purchased a pair of B&W 606 S2 AE speakers from Digital Experience this week. Marked down to R10995-00 (Sealed box). I am sure if you have considered these speakers, you would have watched Andrew Robinsons contentious review on You Tube claiming they have an aggressive and bright treble...

    Transparent Audio RCA question

    No arrows but wording on Network box might indicate direction. I am running it back to front for a while to see if any difference. (Network box near source)

    Transparent Audio RCA question

    Anyone know which way around the Transprent Audio RCA cables should be fitted between the source and the amplifier? Should the Network box be closer to the source or the amplifier? Can’t find anything online about this.

    Kef R3 & Rega Elicit-R

    I listened to the Kef R3 first with my Marantz PM14 S1 SE and then the Peachtree Nova 300. The Peachtree had the edge by a slight margin but it’s 300w versus the Marantz’s 90w. The R3’s sounded very nice with the Peachtree and the Blue Node streaming Tidal.

    Impressions of the Peachtree Nova 300

    I auditioned a pair of Kef R3 speakers recently and took my Marantz PM14 S1 SE amplifier along to power the speakers. I asked to compare the Peachtree Nova 300 out of curiosity to see if more could be squeezed out of the speakers. I was surprised how close the two amps were in tonal balance. I...

    Marantz PM14 S1 SE

    I had the Marantz PM17 KI which sounded awesome with the B&W 805 matrix speakers I had at the time. Source component was a Proceed CDP primarily because I had a lot of HDCD?s. The PM14 is rated at 90w but lab tests in reviews have claimed as much as 110w. The 803?s are notoriously difficult to...

    Marantz PM14 S1 SE

    Does anyone else have the Marantz PM14 S1 SE and if so, what speakers are they paired with? The amp does okay with my BW803 Nautilus MKI but just interested to know if anyone else is getting good results with other speakers.

    WURTH KONTAKT OL

    Wurth products are not cheap but in this case, I am prepared to pay the price as it does exactly what it says on the can.

    WURTH KONTAKT OL

    I bought this contact cleaner to remove oxidation on gold plated audio connectors. Works extremely well. Removes dull tarnish instantly. Cost R215-00 at a Wurth store in Pinetown, Durban.

    M4A to AAC

    Just an update. The Marantz won't play the m4a file from iTunes. If I take the iTunes m4a file and convert it through MediaHuman software to m4a, then it plays on the Marantz. My work around is to use iTunes to create WAV versions of the music I want to play via USB.

    B&W 805 Matrix

    I bought a pair of B&W 805 Matrix speakers used on eBay in the UK for R7000-00. I used to own a pair in 1997 whilst living in the UK. They arrived at my sisters in the UK with a damaged tweeter although they play fine. The seller refunded me R4300-00 and I have used that to purchase a new...

    M4A to AAC

    Thanks for the reply. I did try play them but it wouldn't play. I will give this another go tonight. WAV files sound awesome via the USB input. Shame it can't play FLAC files.
