Installation of B&W 683 into a wall cubby
The only issue with using the cubby in this manner is that you are limited to using the B&W 683 or speakers of that size until you stop using the cubby. As for performance, the speakers will sound fine ... you will lose things though like sepa... 
Cambridge 640A V2 Volume Control Issue
I know exactly what you are talking about ... only I have a similar issue with the Outlaw RR2150 receiver. In the case of the Outlaw, it was reported in a number of magazine reviews and the Outlaw forums, so it is no big secret. It gets annoying, ... 
Opera Seconda and Tubes
I am using Opera Plateas with a Prima Luna Prologue 5 (36wpc). I am using them in a room that is 25 X 16 X 8.5. Plays loud enough. You should be OK. Regards, Rich

Hi Stephen,We are looking at this the same way ... warm sounding amplifier with more detailed sounding speakers. It may be why the Aras are not doing it for you, as they are on the warm sounding side. This may be of interest to you: new EPOS 12.2 ...

Hi Stephen:I just don't know enough about Sugden amplifiers to comment one way or the other. Here is a link from Audio Review regarding your Sugden. The first two posts talk about speaker loads.In a way it's easy, you like the Monitor Audio spea...

Further reflections ... With the Aras I was able to notice when I swapped out CD players or played a CD on a DVD player. The better the CD player, the deeper, more defined, and richer the sound became with the Aras. And that is Rega's claim with t...

Hi Stephen:After 2 years of using the Aras in two different secondary systems, I decided that I wanted more from a speaker. The speaker set-ups that I had for both Ara systems, which were either inside an enclosed bookcase or on top of a bookcase,...

Hi Loose: I have owned the Rega Aras for two plus years. I purchased two NOS pairs from Arcadia Audio and used them in two separate secondary systems ... one system driven by a tube integrated (Prima Luna P2 with a Rega Apollo CD player) and one s...

Philps MC 50 Mini System beats my high end setup
Strange as it may sound ... maybe you are more relaxed in the office or can listen with a minimum of interruptions, or really look forward to the radio, etc. About 10 years back I was working in the UK on the whole Y2K/ Euro thing and I purchased ... 
Get new FM receiver or better antenna?
The tuners in most HT receivers are afterthoughts and even with an outdoor antenna the reception will most likely just be ok. A vintage receiver from the 70's like a Marantz 22XX series or a Pioneer SX series would work very well. You would just c... 
How to
I may be mistaken, but I thought this was a limitation with iTunes. The library sync-ing is one way only and is not shareable with another hard drive, which is in essence what the second instance of iTunes represents. I went through a similar situ...

history of Vector Research 7000
I live in a NYC coop/ apartment house with metal door and window frames, so I can only use indoor antennas. I get good, but not great results with rabbit ears antennas. If I could use the fire escape or attach an antenna to the side of the house, ...
