I need some opinions of experienced LP12 userson deck setup. Is it possible to get "dramatic"(and I mean "dramatic"!!!) increase in low-level resolution by tuning suspension or something on "about" right tuned deck with spot-on cartridge setup? My...

I just reconnected my Rega Kytes after having Royd RR1s on loan for a week. What a turn off!!The Kytes sound so dry, cold and unmusical I had to switch off.The Royds are quite simply, the most musical speaker I have ever heard. That’s quite a...

I just reconnected my Rega Kytes after having Royd RR1s on loan for a week. What a turn off! The Kytes sound so dry, cold and unmusical I had to switch off. Ok I admit the Royds cost about 4 times as much as the Kytes.But, quite simply, the Royds are...

Hi guys,yeah, I know,...I oughtta make up my mind soon,as I'm hunting down TT bargain's for some months now.But, by now I narrowed my choices. A s/h LP12 is too hard too find in Holland and also too expensive. (compared to Britisch prices)A Dutch...

ANyone know anything about this turntable, and how it stacks up against such things as a fully-loaded LP12 or P9?My dealer stocks it, but I haven't had a chance to hear it yet and want to find out if it's worth auditioning, or if it's more style than ...

I was just re-reading the messages in a few threads, and I realized that we're losing the plot. We're onto 3-D soundstages, speed of speakers, and other factors that don't necessarily relate to the key issue. What I want is the sensation that the...

I just bought a Nac 102 with Napsc (i already have a hicap) and nap 180. Both are two years old. When i use the remote to raise the volume or change the balance i ear some noise in my speaker (sound like 'pouf'). Is it normal? I don't think so. Any...

After judging the looks of speakers, why not talk about amps and stuff ?My personal favourites:1. McIntosh and their nice blue eyes2. Crimson - brilliant industrial look3. Naim (but not the 5 series)4. Some valve amps look nice too, e.g. Jadis or...

Currently my Rega P3 sits on top of my four tier QS table. Does anyone have any cheap and cheerful mods for supporting it. I've heard that CD players can benefit from Pulsar points but is it the same for TTs?

Had to visit Bob at Neat Acoustics last week to take my Elite's back for a blown tweeter (my fault). I had a quick listen to the new "Vito", first impressions were they sound really well. Similar to the Elite but with alot more weight and scale. Build...

Hi, I've been having some trouble getting the bass to balance out (left-right) in my listening room. As you can see from the picture attached below, my SBL's sit along the short axis and fire into the room (no alternative to this arrangement). I...

I am still working on the placement of my speakers. Placing them 31" from the side walls (distance from tweater) yields a good deal of bass boom. They are about 7 feet apart. Any experience with the foam plugs for the rear ports? Room is...
