We are delighted to announce that our long awaited and much anticipated PMC Cor integrated amplifier has finally arrived!

It is currently warming up (just what we need in this weather!) and running in nicely in our demonstration room. The unlikely looking system we have set up for this purpose may not be the most harmonious visual match, but sounds absolutely stunning.

Punching way above it's diminutive size, and very modest price, is the Auralic Aries Mini Wireless Streamer, supplying high resolution music from Qobuz Sublime and Tidal Masters. The USB digital output is linked via a Chord Shawline USB cable to the magnificent Chord Electronics DAVE DAC.

We have heard nothing that comes anywhere close to the sheer musicality of the Chord Electronics DAVE DAC. Any digital signal input emerges sounding totally engaging and the high resolution music such as those from Qobuz Sublime sound, well, sublime. Digital doubters really need to hear DAVE...

DAVE is connected to our PMC Cor with a ChordMusic RCA analogue interconnect. Well, we weren't going to take any chances, and you can't get anything better than ChordMusic to let the music flow, totally unimpeded, hence it's name.

PMC Cor has sounded every bit as good as we remembered, even from new and cold, so can only get better and better as it runs in and components warm up. It just sounds effortless and capable of dealing with the most demanding music into any speaker at any volume. Fortunately it doesn't run hot, a definite bonus in the current climate!

To complete our Cor running in system we have a pair of our most popular speakers, the PMC Twenty5 23. Compact and slim enough to guarantee domestic harmony they deliver enormous clarity and PMC's Advanced Transmission Line guarantees agile deep bass which belies the unimposing cabinet dimensions.

We are having a ball listening to this system. Playing Diana Krall's album 'Turn up the Quiet' 192Khz/24bit from Qobuz Sublime, it's as if she is in the room and piano and double bass sound so solid and real. It really is magical!

Just give us a call if you would like to listen to any, or all, of the above.

See you soon,
