Oct issue

In the Sept edition it states that in the Oct issue "Arcam takes on the Cyrus CD6SE".

Instead there is just a straightforward review on the Arcam CD17 with no comparison to the Cyrus.

What happended?

Re: Oct issue

According to Mr Tech Ed Bharadia, two things happened:

1) The Arcam turned out to be much less expensive than we thought it was going to be

2) The Arcam turned out to be not quite as good as we thought it might have been

Hence there seemed little point in a direct comparison in the magazine.

Re: Oct issue

Though the two did get compared when we were testing - as well as the Arcam going up against the Rega Apollo and the Pioneer PD-D6-J (both of which are listed as Also Consider players in the mag and here online).

Re: Oct issue

Is there a review of Naim's HDX coming soon Andrew? I seem to remember it being pencilled in around this time when it was announced a few months back ? Cheers.

OK thanks that Andrew & Clare.

BTW I was intrigued by your review of the QED Genesis Revelation speaker cable but can't seen to find any info or sellers for this product.... is it so new that it's not yet been released?

thanks again.

Re: Oct issue

It's that time of year when we're getting kit in for Awards judging that's so new manufacturers are still updating their own websites/dealers on the products.

The QED Genesis Revelation is one of those products - i'd expect Armour Group (QED Distributor) to have info on their website ASAP.

Re: Oct issue

Just thought I would say that the October issue is the best issue I have read in a long time! That speaker comparison is great!!!

Re: Oct issue

I noticed in the highlighted letter (the one with a big pic of a 6SE with it) in the Stereo Q&A section, that midway through the writers question, there is for some reason, html code for a picture of something!


Not sure if this is some bug, so just a heads up.

Re: Oct issue

I agree with Hughes, it's a great issue. I've only just bought it in Tesco this morning (gotta sort out that subscription!)...

On another thread recently I was complaining about all the TV reviews in WHF. This issue has it all though, it's really nicely balanced and a thoroughly enjoyable read. Well done WHF!
