I am thinking a few things:1. maybe the experience of just sitting in a smallish, bare room listening to music just doesn’t do it for you. I know that I can’t just listen to music for any appreciable amount of time and do nothing else. I have to r... 
Your thoughts about Omega speakers
I know that the 3i would be, but they are only an inch or two bigger than the 3T and the sound improvement over the 3T would be worth it.  Alternatively, if the room could handle it, two 30 inch stands (desk height), alongside the desk could work.... 
Your thoughts about Omega speakers
I have used 3 different pairs of Omega loudspeakers in the last 15 years.  I have never used them on a desktop, but in near field listening situations.  If your desk will allow for it, I would go with the Super 3i.  The slightly bigger box makes f...

Which Mid Level Turntables Ship Well and Are Foolproof?
In addition to the Pro-ject Classic, I have a Stanton ST 150 (mk1).  Pretty much everything I say about the Stanton, will apply to the Pioneer as they are very similar.  These turntables are a lot of fun, are easy to maintain, and allow swapping o...

R.I.P Glen Campbell
Other sides of Glen Campbell ...Besides being an A list guitarist, he also could not read music.  He played by ear.  Not unique, but not usual.  A real gem of a video, his version stacks well alongside the original ...https://www.youtube.com/watch...

A fan since I was 11 years old ... that's 50 years.  'Galveston' was the first 45 single that I purchased (Woolworths in Manhattan) and 'Wichita Lineman' was the first album that I purchased (EJ Korvettes in Brooklyn).  His voice always did it for... 
Remote Possibilities
You can always contact MF in the UK.  It is a functionality question.  Head Office usually is better than overseas distributors.Rich  
Remote Possibilities
Here is a link to an image of the remote for the 308.  It would seem that MF made one remote for the 308 amp, cd player, & tuner.If you look at the next image there is a picture of a Logitech remote (Harmony 200), which was a popular learning ...

What are the odds ... probably zero.  The 308 was manufactured in the UK some 13 or so years ago.  The A-5 was the first generation of the Taiwan manufactured MF components.Why not contact the US MF representative or MF directly?  USA:  Audio Plus...

Emotiva ERC-3 or Music Hall C-DAC15.3 / connections?
The Emotiva ERC-3 will perform just fine with RCA cables.  At its price, not too many other CD players only (new), I would recommend.  Still use a ERC-2 in one of my systems.  Great build, good DAC and sound.Rich
