I FANCY A NEW SURROUND SPEAKER SYSTEM 

Lyric Hifi is pleased to announce a new service for our clients: CD Ripping

With the advent of Digital Streaming systems music selection is now so simple, with brilliant performance, yet the boring task of transferring your precious cd collection to hard disk at full quality does could put you off the whole idea. Don't let it! 

HELP is at hand, for a very small pecuniary remuneration!

We have invested in an automated ripping system to take away all the effort and leave you with just the pleasure, the listening to uncompressed music. Now you no longer have to trust your unique collection to a carrier and send it to England and back, along with the expense. Here is how it works:

Collect as many 100 disc spindles as you need from us and simply set your cds on to them. Drop these with us along with your hard drive and pick it up in a few days, depending how many you have and how busy we are.

We will rip to your preferred format, usually FLAC Lossless Uncompressed, and also give you a report on the accuracy achieved.

Costs vary according to quantity of cds

Up to 100 99p each, 101-200 95p, 201-400 85p

 401 and more 79p

If you would like to supply your collection in jewel cases then add 20p per disc for the handling

Your collection is then ready to connect to your Linn DS, Naim Uniti/ND, Cyrus Stream, Sonos, Denon, Marantz, in fact any of Lyric Hifi's music streaming solutions, instantly controlled by ipad/ipod/laptop. Easy peasy!

 Naim Audio? Some of you may know that Lyric supplied Naim Audio for over 20 years before falling out a few years ago. Well 'never say never' and 'never trash other products' are never more true as Naim have changed and UnitiLite and UnitiQute are now on demonstration. Price lists now loaded, you have to look

Elipson music system and speakers now on demo !

Fun, funky, and sound great

Linn Kiko is now here on demonstration, and it is tiny tiny, but sounds big big! Just received one in Champagne finish and it looks great. I wouldn't normally notice a good colour but it is beautiful and Margaret also says so. (She has a handbag that colour!)

Kiko is a fully integrated high performance Network Music system with connectivity for virtually any additional source and the ability to stream online content such as Spotify and Youtube. That's just what it can do, the clever part is how good it sounds. It's not just good for a small system, it's good period!  Supplied with matching active speakers, this is just one of the many pieces of technical wizardry inside Kiko that makes it sound so amazing. If you are feeling a bit geeky check out Passive/Active Systems in our GeeK section, otherwise just buy one and love it! Kiko is a complete solution for any room, large or small. Drop us a line to ask questions about Kiko or drop in for a listen. And for an independent opinion here is a link to Trusted Reviews, who also love it. iNDEPENDENT KIKO REVIEW
