Cambridge Audio AZUR 851W

Review: Cambridge Audio's Azur 851E Preamp and 851W Stereo Power Amplifier aren't inexpensive, but unlike flagship level products from other marques, they're actually affordable. Audiophile Separates.

Aiwa AMU-120

This amp is just great- simple relatively cheep but makes the whole place come alive to the music I love - even at low volume- and it can knock my socks off

Cyrus One HD (Black)

Bought thr Cyrus as an upgrade to a Kenwood amp I'd had for years and to match Bowers and Wilkins speakers that I knew should deliver more detail. WOW did it ever, once set up and connected played Vinyl and CDs the difference in sound was instant, I...

Denon AVRX2600 (Black)

Bought almost a month ago and upgraded from a 13 year old Pioneer 5.1 surround DVD player. I am pleased to finally have a decent, definable surround from the Denon. The unit is larger than I was expecting but the features are plentiful. You'll need an...

Cambridge Audio AXR85 (Lunar Grey)

Bought a fortnight back and very happy, for use with my project turntable, through some 607s. Amp really delivers, the Bluetooth is a bonus also

Marantz NR-1510

The good: audio quality is great, been enjoying it very much. The unit is very small for an AV receiver, but still with lots of I/O options. Definite upgrade from my older Onkyo device and I'm generally very happy with it. The decent: the on-screen...

YAMAHA RXV583

This receiver has a number of sophisticated features. For example the speaker connections can be configured in a number of configurations from 2.0 up to full Atmos with 7,2. Multiple switching options and modes are available for quick access to pre-set...

Pioneer A-10AE

Great bit of starter kit, great crisp sound through my Mission speakers. Not had chance to crank it up yet as I live in a terrace and neighbours are working from home at the moment during the pandemic.

Roksan K3 Amp (Anthracite)

I've had this amp for a few weeks now and I love it. Spoke at length with the Leicester branch and heard nothing but good things that also confirmed my own research. Agile, lively and an open phono stage has opened up my listening experiece. I love it...

Yamaha RXA680 (Black)

Onkyo A-9110

Like their A-9010, Onkyo's A-9110 is a screaming bargain. Based on the improvement in sound quality, I think Onkyo made the right decision in replacing the A-9010's DAC with the better capacitors used in the A-9110.

Denon AVRX4400 & Dali Zensor 1 5.1

Bought this AVR to replace a perfectly good previous model (3313) in order to get the latest audio codecs namely Dolby Atmos and DTS X having just recently upgraded my 6.1 system to 7.1. The 4400 is performing perfectly and I am extremely happy with...

YAMAHA RXA860

I bought this last week, display model, and spent an entire weekend trying to get some sound out of it. After some telephone support from the very helpful guys at Richersounds and Yamaha, I eventually got sound via bluetooth, but audio and video were 3...

Marantz NR1710 (Black)

I bought this just over a month ago ans waited to review. Build quality is good except for rubbish quality plastic speaker wire retainers which feel so flimsy I expect they would break if over tightened. Also, adjusting volume with the remote is...

Marantz PM-11S3

Review: The Marantz PM-11S3 Integrated Amplifier is rated at 100 watts/channel. It exceeds its specifications and sounds and looks great doing it. A true audiophile product with prideful ownership.

Hegel H160

An absolutely outstanding amplifier, which would be a bargain at its asking price even if you didn’t get a top-quality DAC into the bargain as well

Sony STRDN1080 (Black)

good sound etc, but the video 1 and video 2 inputs do not work, and it occasionally switches mode so that sound and video suddenly stops until you reselect the right input

Yamaha R-S202D

After 32 years my Rotel amplifier finally bit the dust. Not being able to afford a like-for-like replacement just now, I opted to go for the Yamaha RS202D. I was fearful that this would mean making a compromise on sound, but far from it! I'm delighted...

DENON AVRX2400

Paired this Denon AVRX2400 with the Onkyo Atmos speaker package and they're a great match. I needed an upgrade from an old workhorse Onkyo receiver as it couldn't handle 4K signals (or Dolby Atmos). The Denon proved to be a feature-rich upgrade with...

Pioneer VSX933 (Black)

Can't really argue for the price. Needed a receiver for Dolby Atmos and this fitted the bill. I'm no audiophile, I just needed something to power Polk t series bookshelves, centre and Polk in-ceilings. Plus a zone 2 for another room. This does...
