If you like my efforts please like comment and subscribe to the channel to support my efforts. 50 hours of work went into this and it’s largely unsponsored work - research, testing, scripting, filming pieces to camera and b-roll, editing and after effects is all involved. Many thanks Simon

Talented chap.....Dad should be proud 🤘

Another great review. Addressing it to your dad was a master stroke. Ruark don't seem to get any reviews by KZbinrs or anyone else. . My MR2 mk2s are brilliant. I would love to see a proper review of the new R610 and Sabre speakers. Keep up the great work.

[@13thnotehifireviews7]

Thank you. I kinda realised they don’t do many reviews which with their smallish KZbin channel (much smaller than mine) surprised me. I have said I’d happily review other products of theirs and the time this took - about 50hrs

[@rmzidann]

Really interesting unit. Will have to check it out. Thank you. 👍

Looks great, seems like an affordable all in one solution for the right person. I’d buy it for a kitchen or garage system.

[@13thnotehifireviews7]

If you’ve already got much pricier or higher end systems in a lounge, I’d say it’s easily good enough for a bedroom or office etc, or somewhere else where you can enjoy it fully with no background noise. That’s my take home from this video - I think my Dad is going to love it and it does sound way better than his obsolete (non streaming) Bose, in my opinion.

@@13thnotehifireviews7agreed, great video as well Simon

Considering as a more flexible sound bar for a TV. What was the competing product you mentioned, Cambridge Audio?

[@pjmt29]

Yeah that's me typing on my laptop as you were saying it LoL, I couldn't see how a 1 box system is going to sound as good/close to a conventional system, It's probably not aimed at me anyway but I could see my dad/brother liking something like this.

[@13thnotehifireviews7]

I'd be cautious of that type of thinking which was one of my take homes from the video. It goes to show we always need to form opinions off of trying not what we think should happen based on beliefs of technology or audio science. It's easily aimed at me. Sure my 2ch set up sounds better but it costs many multiple times more...and I'm very much... use the hifi to listen to music, not use the music to listen to the hifi - so when I get something that does so much at the price I'm very pleasantly surprised! Plus the gorgeous Conran style.

[@MohsinWadee]

I would have rather you reviewed the 610 with the matching speakers and CD player!

[@13thnotehifireviews7]

As I said I bought this for my dad and then reviewed it. Ruark did like the video from their comments afterwards so hopefully I’ll get to try more products from them.

[@Romulus980]

Maybe a tremendous all in one but for me I just don't like the looks of the component. I like vintage hifi but this Ruark R410 looks so cheap...?

[@13thnotehifireviews7]

It isn’t cheap up close. Everything fits very well - they’ve used this eco wood too so it’s very 2024
