Hi all,I just acquired a 92R/90-3/Flatcap and need to upgrade my cd player. Options include putting a 3.5 or 5 with the flatcap, or even a CDI. I'm a little worried about the longevity of older CD players. Any thoughts would be appreciated!Thanks,BEC

A friend has one of these and wants to service it.Thanks,Alex

Having recently purchased a rega p3 I have begun to think of ways to tweak its performance. First was getting the Expressimo Heavyweight for the RB300 arm. This is a well worthwhile upgrade! I have just now got myself an audio-technica disc stabilizer...

ChapsI have enjoyed listening to my main system, over the past few years, through SBL's and my secondary system through Saras.Despite my enjoyment, my son and my boss are always commenting that the system appears bass light. This led to conversations...

Elswhere on this forum I was adviced to use sbl with the grills on. Benevolent the advice was, it did not convinced me because I found that I liked every possible speakers with the grills off and the sbl was no exception. Without the grills, the sound...

Hi,Having been reading a lot lately in various publications (particularly in the HNR) about the venerable LS3/5a, I took the plunge and bought a pair without prior auditioning! Before I comment on the sonic results, I will discuss some practical...

hi folks, question i have always wanted to ask but was shy: why are fuses in mains plugs considered a "bad" thing sonically? extra impedance because of the "thinner" fuse wire??? signal refelections caused by change of impedance?? or what???talking...

Hi!I was wondering if anybody has tried Diapason speakers on his Naim-system. I have seen a pair of Diapason Nux speakers for 2000 Euro. I am looking for speakers at that price and was wondering if I should give these a listen. If they are a bit like...
