    Low-cost 2 channel pre-amp & amplifier with very responsive remote control? For WiiM Pro/Plus in kitchen

    Radio stations are also what I use the WiiM presets for (I'm also old!). As mentioned above the WiiM remote does seem pretty good. I use a WiiM Pro into a system with an amplifier (currently a Naim Nait 3) which doesn't have a remote in one of my offices and I use the WiiM remote to control the...

    Wiim Amp low stage and bass

    I mostly use my WiiM Amp to integrate with the TV and I've found it very good for that, using the HDMI ARC connection. I'm not having any of the challenges mentioned above and I also haven't needed to mess around with room correction to get a decent sound either. Volume is also fine for me but...

    Low-cost 2 channel pre-amp & amplifier with very responsive remote control? For WiiM Pro/Plus in kitchen

    Why not go with a WiiM amp instead to cover both the functions of the amp and the streamer? I've used the WiiM remotes with the amp and with the Pro and not had any issues.

    What might a "sensible" vinyl playback setup look like?

    My LP12 could definitely be improved (at considerable cost probably) but I realised that I really like the way it sounds at the moment, so don't see a need for upgrades. It's also not far off a museum piece (from the serial number I think it might have been one of the first couple of hundred...

    What might a "sensible" vinyl playback setup look like?

    My experience is slightly different - my LP12 is rock solid for speed and all of my the Project decks are also very good. It's some of the older Rega decks I've encountered speed stability issues with. I'm making progress with the latest of those (an upgraded belt helped a lot, and changing the...

    What might a "sensible" vinyl playback setup look like?

    None at all. I've bought some upgrade bits for it but decided instead to leave it as original - it's still got the SME arm and Shure cartridge that it originally came with. I've been toying with the idea of getting another LP12 to play around with upgrading, but have several other turntables in...

    What might a "sensible" vinyl playback setup look like?

    My LP12 is a very early one, from 1973, and still sounds lovely.

    What might a "sensible" vinyl playback setup look like?

    Yes. I can hear differences, so they must be measureable (not that I'm all that interested!). For one thing the LP12 has much better speed accuracy and speed stability (they only thing I've actually measured on both of them), despite being much, much older. They've got different arms and...

    What might a "sensible" vinyl playback setup look like?

    My starting point for vinyl systems is usually a new Rega P1 (both of my kids have one of those) and if the amp used doesn't already have a phono stage I buy one of the Cambridge Audio phono stages from Ebay. If it needs to be cheaper then I'll go with something like a 2nd hand Project Debut...

    WiiM Amp Pro - TPA3255 PFFB | WiFi 6e | Bluetooth 5.3 vs WiiM Amp

    In general use the WiiM amp is powerful enough for most people. Mine is used in a fairly sizeable living room with fairly sensitive (90db) speakers plus a small subwoofer and it's plenty loud enough. And that's from someone that has a Krell amp in their main system.

    Wiim Amp low stage and bass

    It works very well with the HDMI ARC connection as well. With mine I'm only using small standmount speakers (Rega R1's) but have added a subwoofer that used to be in my home cinema set-up. That sounds good with TV & movies although I prefer the sound without the sub for music (probably because...

    WiiM Amp Pro - TPA3255 PFFB | WiFi 6e | Bluetooth 5.3 vs WiiM Amp

    I'd expect that many/most audiophiles won't be buying these for their main systems either - that's certainly the case for me where the WiiM amp is being primarily used for AV with the (odd bit of streaming and occasional use of CD's) in a secondary system.
