I now use mostly Linn and naim equipment but the Arcam comes out occasionally along with a Marantz cd50 se and the mordaunt short speakers that replaced the wharfedales.

They look great. It's definitely worth taking a closer look at them. You're absolutely right about the app though. Technics needs to make some improvements. Maybe they should focus a bit more on the software rather than just on the technical specifications of the hardware.

Have you any thoughts on customers that upgraded? I want to make sure that the direct drive isn't a cheap version of the more expesive models? I could eventually stretch to the 1310GR version but, I do stream alot too. I can see that it's semi-auomatic? What does that mean? Enjoy the show V much

I used to frequent HiFi Corner when it was at the top of Leith, decades ago. It would have been the late 80's when one of the HiFi Corner staff sold me his Kef 105.4. I also remember having a demo of the Tannoy D700 when it was released in that store. Fond memories. The store has certainly came along since it left Elm Row, despite not being in the market for anything I may well pop in one day just to browse.
