Thanks for the post - the unit was damaged in transit and there are marks to the top of the unit and the packaging is damaged but it is a brand new unit and works 110%

Here is a pic of the marks / damage

Able,

Ah you should know at this stage that you don't escape my clutches that easy!

That will go great with the rest of your kit & I'll get Dave or Kenny to get you sorted out in the morning.

Thanks again,

Dear John,

I'm interested in #10, the PM6003. Been looking for an entry level stereo amp rig for a while, and it's very tempting. I was wondering if you'd be able to recommend and to quote me some suitable speakers + decent wires? I'd be mostly playing flac and hi-res stuff straight from a computer (although without a DAC). For the speakers, something with some sparkle on the treble would be more appealling than bass-heavy, I have tired old ears...

Much appreciated,

M

M,

Thanks for the post & apologies for the delay getting back to you.

Yep, the PM6003 is a super amplifier and to be honest is far better than 'entry level' - On the speaker front I would recommend the Monitor Audio BX2 which normally retail at £249.95 - http://www.whathifi.com/Review/Monitor-Audio-Bronze-BX2 - If you wanted these with the Marantz PM6003 I would do the combo at £399.95.

If you wanted to go a little further I would highly recommend the first of the Monitor Audio Silver Series, the RX1 they normally retail at £425 - these add the 25mm Gold Dome tweeter and they really do have a detailed high end whilst retaining great bass & the ability to go seriously loud! - http://www.whathifi.com/review/monitor-audio-silver-rx1 - they also are finished in a really high quality real wood veneer and they look almost as good as they sound! - I can do the PM6003 with the RX1 at just £529.95 (instead of £674)

In terms of interconnects & cables I would add 2 metres of matching Monitor Audio Purebi cable which normally retails at £9.95/meter at £16.95 - to give you a total of £546.90 - (call it £545)

Keep me posted if either of these combos grabs you fancy - we have them all available from stock ready to ship today,

Thanks again,

John Mc & Crew

Hi John,

Can I be next in line for #12 if Shayser drops out or if you happen to find another one floating about the Belfast "megastore"?

Cheers.

colferma

Dear John,

Too tempting to resist. The PM6003 with the BX2s and the purebi cable sounds great. About the cable: would that mean 1m per speaker, or 2m per speaker? Also, about delivery: is there a cost difference between house delivery and picking it up at the Phillip's shop on Dame St?

Much thanks,

M

Butter,

Long time no hear - about time that you topped-up on the kit count!

Shayser is game ball for the SA7003 but if he does fall by the wayside - consider yourself next in line..

Thanks again and keep the faith,

M,

Apologies for the delay getting back to you - net, slipped, screw-up, all come to mind - and thanks for the PM last night.

Cable - happy to do 2 mtrs /speaker.
Delivery - Same price to Home or Philips Shop collection, no problem.

Keep me posted and we promise to offer a swifter response this time



ATVB,

colferma

Thanks for getting back to me John. I'm gonna go with the amp and speakers definitely, I'm just not sure how much cable I'll need exactly. Is the usual thing that you ship out a certain amount and I cut it whatever way is best for the two speakers (maybe one shorter than the other), or do you send out two pieces of fixed lengths? Anywho, if you can give me a full quote for amp, speakers, cable (2m and 4m) and delivery here to the flat in Dublin that'd be great, and hopefully we can sort out payment this evening if it's not too late.

hi John & RS Crew,

Got my Marantz NR1501 and Mission MX1 from your Belfast store yesterday, everybody is helpful and accomodating. The Marantz was working great. But one of the Mission MX1 speakers seems to be faulty. The speaker is failing the Auto Setup from the Marantz. I tried placing the speakers in different positions, front left, front right, rear left and rear right, but the same speaker fails everytime. Then I tried to setup only the fronts and center using my MV2 and MVC, setup completed successfully. Then I tried to replace the MV2 with the MX1, one of the MX1 sounds great but the other has a soft sound with buzzing noise, seems to be really faulty. If someone could help and give me a call with regards to my problem, anytime of the day is fine but hopefully in the morning. Many thanks.

colferma

What did I ever do ya John that you're not talking to me? :pac:

Richersounds.ie: Ashley

Hi Colferma

Johns not ignoring you:) he's just been up to his ears today and is incommunicado.

He may well get a chance to take a breather later today and respond to your post but in the mean time you could try either Kenny or Dave in Richersounds on 04890 321 332.

hope that helps

Cheers

M,

Apologies again for the delay getting back to you - I have both Dave & Kenny missing in action all this week so the pressure is really on ( I'll be donig more Boards stuff tonight so please stay calm - I hope to wipe out the back log laters! )

Anyway as discussed earlier I can do the Marantz PM6003 / Monitor Audio BX2 / Monitor Audio Pure bi cable * 2 mtrs Combo at £399.95 + £14.95 for the cable & delivery would be just £9.99 - the cable we would leave uncut - however we would strongly recommend that both sides are cut to the same length!

Apologies again for the delay - and drop me a line if I can assist in any way,

Very best regards,

John Mc & Crew

Hey John,

Fair play for getting back to me, and you in the thick of things by yourself. I wouldn't have been teasing you had I known the other two lads were after abandoning you.

I'm just after checking the distances here in the room, and it looks like I'll be needing around 4m of cable to connect the farther speaker to the amp, so 8m of cable altogether. I don't suppose Monitor Audio purebi gets dramatically cheaper the more you buy of it? :pac: On the off chance that it doesn't, would you recommend an alternative cable for the BX2s, or is this stuff absolutely worth the money (in your opinion)?

Also, out of curiosity, how much would a nice DAC set me back? I'm really not sure if it's worth getting one this time -- the bank balance may well be traumatised enough with the amp and speakers -- but if there was a good bargain that would offer a significant upgrade from running the amp straight from the laptop, I'd consider it.

Thanks for all your help,

M

The SA7003 is signed, sealed and soon to be delivered. Thanks John.

Paired with the PM6003 + Monitor Audio BX5.

Any chance you could put them in the boot and deliver them yourself today?

Hi Lads,

Is the ST6003 FM/AM Tuner in black by any chance? I have neither the room in my cabinet or the funds in the bank but for some reason I'm very interested...

Colferma - no problem - yep I normally try to employ Robots - these humanoids are awful - need hols and days off etc - whats the world coming to? - Anyway I'm always up for a swift tease/kick in the arse especially if you are trying to get something ordered - so don't be bashful!

Believe it or not Monitor Audio Pure bi is actually our worst margin speaker cable as we have been trying to keep it under £10 for about the last 5 years now - I can do it at a push at £7.60/Meter if its bought with a system - To be honest though it's really amazing cable - but be warned that it's pretty substantial and may not pass the 'spouse' test - if you need something slightly less 'substantial' I'd go for the Ultra Micro which is excellent and not expensive at £2.99/Meter http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-cables/cambridge-audio/ultra-micro/audi-ultramicro-200m I can do this at £2.09/Meter (again on a Boardie special if bought with a system)

ahhh now you are in trouble.... We have the NA7004 on a great deal at the moment! Reduced from £599.95 to £499.95 AND now with Airplay included as standard - this is the dogs dangly bits - obviously MUCH more than a standard Dac http://www.whathifi.com/Review/Marantz-NA7004/ !

Alternatively we also have the HIGHLY reviewed Cambridge Audio Dacmagic at just £229.95 which What HiFi summed up by concluding - 'One of the best Dacs we have ever tested'

...But it will be resting in Butterski castle before too long..

Laker,

I have only one ST6003 on left on display and DOH - it's silver! but at £129.95 it's a cracker of a dealette!

Keep me posted if you would like to snaffle it (it's very slim & inexpensive you know )

No worries on the article, glad it was of some interest. Also sending you as PM later today which may be of interest too.

Yeah, laughing (almost) as the day these went live I was actually in Belfast and recommending RS to a colleague who wanted to upgrade from his 8 track (slight exaggeration admittedly, but only slight)............:)

As regards needs and/or wants - when did they ever feature in my thinking?!!!!!!!

Dang, tough decisions. I'll be gone for the guts of tomorrow John which will give me time to think about the cables, but I may as well chance my arm with this question about the DAC: I see its £230 on the rs website, so is there any chance of a boardie discount on that if I get the amp and speakers on top? :cool: I see here on post 7 someone mentions picking one up in richersounds for £199, and I see that figure listed as RRP on a few sites. (Well, after reading the above forum I typed in 'dacmagic £199' in google and got what I was looking for, but still... )

Much thanks,

M,

No harm chancing the arm, but the Dacmagic at £229.95 is as tight as I can go - Richer UK are clearing all their silver Demo stocks at £199.95 - but we have already cleared ours & I only have the black available.

The 'Boardie discount' has already been worked into the amp/speaker pack - but as earlier - no harm trying!

Keep me posted,

ATVB,

John Mc & Crew

silvine

I am interested in the DAC. Can you tell me if it makes much of a difference audio wise if I I connect it to my Mac? My speakers are Audioengine A2s.

Also is there a cheaper one?
