I found a shop selling audiophile vinyl in Birmingham and came away with a few discs. I played Genesis "Selling England by the Pound" and thought that it sounded a little too strong in the bass although it is a fine album. I noticed that the Ekos was...
Are they more tuneful in the bass than the 1.8's. I am thinking of changing speakers.Jay
Naim and j.m.labs, do they work well together? I got a line on some daline 6.1's (discontinued?)...
I have a CD3 and I am looking at matching it up with a Sim I-5 Moon amp. What interconnect is better?Chrysalis or Cobra 2Thanks!
I trashed my bloody cartridge last night. My P9 has a lovely shiny clean plinth, and my yellow duster has a cantilever and stylus assembly. Arse. Whilst I am currently checking out second hand options for a replacement, I am also considering buying a...
At each annual BBQ extravaganza (for surely this must become an annual event) I think there should be an awards ceremony. I should like to post a few potential categories:The Tom Sharpe Trophy.This goes to the person who wrote the most miles of turgid...
I think they add nothing to the debate, nothing to the dissemination of information, fill my screen with more unwanted iconic trash, have no humourous role to play any more (if ever they did) and are usually posted by the originator of the topic anyway.
can anyone who has upgraded from nat02 to nat01, and has lived with both tuners, share their experience of whether this is a worthwhile upgrade or not. cant see myself doing a comparative audition somehow ... laziness or whatever...yes, i listen to...
One of my e-mail boxes sends viruses to many computers, include members in forums I'm writing in.For the next day or two, don't open any e-mail if was sent by me - or has the "walla" name.Arye
Frank:Was wondering if the 1.3 mk II and 1.1 would work better in my room, or other stand mounted speakers for that matter. Keep in mind that the room is only 12 foot wide, so that speakers that like lots of room from the side walls are impractical...
I have: lp12/ekos/rega exact/82/supercap/250/linn 5140 speakers plus cdx and 01. Question: since I have heard that pulling the phono boards on the 82 may help the sound of the cdx/01, is getting the stageline instead of using the mm boards in my 82 an...
Gents, For anyone interested there Dbls for sale in the ads in www.hififorsale.com Ray
Has anyone tried or heard the Cetech carbon fibre subchassis and armboard on a LP12? How did it sound?
My system is:LP12 (early plinth)/Cirkus/Ekos/Troika/Lingo/Linto32.5/Hi/2x135/SBLI purchased the LP12 in 1984 and the Naim kit followed in 1985/6. NANA recently (3 weeks ago) performed their magic to said kit and the results of their work are still...
My existing G17 and I can not come to terms with how,"SHE FEELS".(I had left her in storage for these last 15 monthes).I received communication from her lawyer that specifically states that I must part with her. I made a visit today and she is looking...
Based on a comment on Bas V's recent thread, has anyone compared the 3.5 FlatCap or CD5 FlatCap to the Linn Ikemi (not the less expensive Genki)?I haven't heard them in my own system, but when I heard the Ikemi, it just boogied!. The Naim player...

This morning I received an e-mail asking for my work telephone number. I was a little suspicious but decided to oblige since I am so trusting of fellow forees regardless of their membership status. A little after 11.00am I was phoned and someone by...
Yesterday I listened to music at a dealer's home in Jerusalem. An interesting turntable audio notingham and a valve pre with two little monoblocks and good speakers.(If you are interested with names, I can put them later, I don't remember now).It was...
Hi everybody!Today I have finally heard the CD5. It was hooked to a Job amplifier (anybody knows this one?) and some Sonus Faber Signums. It sounded really impressive on jazz and classical. Then I listened to my favourite band, Tool, and it just...
Frank Abela has suggested that the usual practice is to place the Contour 1.8's about 30" from the wall behind them. I tried that distance tonight. Based on Frank's advice, I started out at that point, repositioned them all around the room with mixed...
Last night when sitting down to listning to some music, I suddenly became aware of a noise from the system. The noise can be characterised as a low level "white" background hiss (i.e. not a "hum"), clearly audible with the volume knob turned down and...
Hi,I remember reading in the old forum all sorts of info on changes made between the Mk.I and Mk.II (not the 2000) versions of the Rega Ela.Naturally, now that i've finally found a 2nd hand pair of MkI for sale I can't find any info on the...
Similar to the "Dust Off" thread. For years I've been wondering what polish should I use to look after my teak Kans.Obviously it should be something neutral with no smell. Is there any product that is officially recommended?AndrewAndrew Randle2B ||...
