Have been looking into Denon and Yamaha.... budget is poo at the moment having bought the other half a Marantz cd6006 for his birthday next week.

Going back to the Sony HMK 20, although it has a built in amp it's not a very powerful one. Would I be OK hooking it up to a Rega pre-amp?

We know nothing of bikes here

However - to more pressing matters............

I've been using my old (left the factory in 1986) A&R Cambridge A60 amp for a couple of years now but recently at highish volumes its been blowing the right speaker fuse (fuses are internal to the amp thankfully). Only rated at 1.6amps and I have spares, but anyone know what the issue is? All is fine if I keep volume below about 40% but its letting go at higher levels.........might have to bring the Audiolab pre/power combo outta hibernation :twisted:

I'd swap the left and right speaker connections, sounds to me like it's a short or leaky crossover. Alternatively have a sniff around with a multimeter if you have one.
