Frequently asked questions
Soundbar or speakers: which should I buy for TV audio?
A soundbar is the simple, tidy upgrade that transforms flat TV speakers with one cable. Separate speakers and an amp sound better still for music but need more space, budget and wiring. Most living rooms are happiest with a well-reviewed soundbar.
Do I need special equipment to start playing vinyl?
Just a turntable with a built-in phono stage and either powered speakers or an amp. Plenty of highly-rated starter turntables include everything, so check the listing before buying separates.
Is expensive speaker cable worth it?
For normal home listening, no. Decent-quality cable of the right thickness is all you need; the money is far better spent on the speakers themselves.
