Hi-Fi Corner

I feel foolish because I have been missing out on the music that my system is capable of providing. I only found out yesterday, and the fix was remarkably simple. Many of the screws holding the drivers in my loudspeakers were loose and needed to be...

Has anyone yet tried the Densen B400? If not, you're in for a very pleasant surprise. I've compared it to the new Rega Planet and the much acclaimed CD5 - believe me neither can hold a candle to the B400. The rest of the system was 72/Hi/250 driving...

Should Jawed come back to the forum?Music is the answer.

I know they were made in the early 80's but I've never seen or heard one. Can anyone enlighten me?

Hello,I'm presently running an 82 with cdx/nat-3/180/epos22 as the rest of the system. Can the dv-10x4mk2 high output MC work with the S-board of the 82 preamp? Does anyone have any experience on this cartridge esp on a planer 3? I'm very new to the...

This weekend I'm borrowing an 82/250. Nice! (and thanx Infidelity).Looking to replace my 72/90. At the same time I'm going to make a long overdue upgrade to my cartridge, (still using a K9).It has been suggested that the Dynavector D17 would be a...

I have the opportunity to buy a pair of Kan 2's. What are these like compared to the Kan 1's? I used to have a pair of Kan 1's, which I unfortunately sold. Are the Kan 2's better or worse? I remember the Kan 1's being critical of setup. Are the...

Hi.I have a (lightly modified) LP12/Lingo/Akito/ESCo-rebuilt Asaka MC, but would like to upgrade from the (limiting) Akito arm.I initially considered an Ekos or Aro, but they are kinda pricy new and I'm not sure about the wisdom of buying a superarm...

Hi folks;I'm still checking out different CD players, but the CD3/3.5 is still in contention. Can someone briefly let me know what the difference is between these two players and also rate them against each other in terms of sound quality and...

Are Naim mains leads equipment specific in any way, and also are newer ones any better than 10 year old ones? The reason I ask is I have a double wall socket at the end of a dedicated spur into which I had plugged my CDX and 140. Lingo and Nakamichi...

...any good? Website? Any satisfied or disatisfied owners out there? How well do they do the PRaT thing?(I ask 'cause I saw a pair the other day and wondered about then as perhaps an option for the office system)John

Hi folks.Just a quick question; I'm looking for a new interconnect between my LP12's phono stage and my preamp. Although I don't have an Aro (yet) I was wondering if the arm cable would make the basis of a decent interconnect (assuming that I could...

I noticed that on Joel Benford's home page that Jawed has an Audio Synthesis Transcend/DAX-2 CD Player not a CDS. It seems an unsual move in a 52/6x135/DBL system. I can only conclude it must be pretty good player to withstand the exposure that system...

Following on from Peter Chappell's steps 1 and 2, get a square of MDF (just big enough to cover the SBL's footprint) and then screw this down into the floorboards. Plce the SBL's spikes onto the MDF (not the securind screws).This gives a nice tight...

Calling the Shahinian owners - Tony Storey, Jason Hector and others..I'm interested in the Arcs, Obelisks, Hawks, Diapasons..can you tell me more about these speakers ?How would you describe their sound ? do they time ? can these work in a relatively...

1) Can Creedo's be place well away from the back wall, up to about 60" lets say?2) Can Creedos be placed near to the side walls (my room is only 12 feet wide)?3) Can they use standard banna plugs and are the binding posts near the bottom?

GentlemenI know there are other threads covering this topic but I'm in a rush to sort this outI desperatly need to get some headphones together and need some advice.I'm completely new to the world of headphones and really don't know much about the...

Dear all,I've arranged the mother of all demos at the Sound Organisation (York).Currently I have a Mimik/42.5/110/Kan IIsI'll be upgrading my amps first. So I'm trying to figure out, once and for all, which side of the fence I will jump to - i.e. Linn...

Surfing around that night and was wondering "what kind of turntable might I buy"."Linn... Michelle... Roksan... oh yeah, whatever happened to Pink Triangle? Haven't heard much from them nowadays".I remembered hearing their Tarantulla turntable and...

Has anyone heard a CDX/XPS, Nait 5, SBL's? I have always climbed upward with equipment but am curious what I would be losing going from a 82/Super/135's to the Nait 5. My source is good (CDX/XPS) and I love my SBL's. I have not heard the new Nait but...

Hi folks,Damn, this audio stuff can drive a man nuts sometimes...I'm about to upgrade my CD-3.5 with either a flat-or HiCap, but... as I was checking out the s/hmarketpages on the net I found somebody who 'soffering a LP-12 with Akito arm (no...

Has anyone had the chance to demo the new flatcap2 (i.e. the one that goes with the 5 series). What do you think the price/performance issues are with respect to old flatcap/hicap?Tim

My next purchase will be a CD player for my NAIT 3 and monitor Audio (3) speakers. I'm looking for some suggestions on what to demo at my local dealers.I will be listening to the new 5 series but am wondering whether a cheap 2nd hand 3.5 will do.I...

Any thoughts on whether the additional expense of a HiCap over a FlatCap is warranted for CD3.5?There seem to be a few second hand HiCaps around (on the web) but none (so far) of second hand FlatCaps. The price difference between a new FlatCap and a...

I'm interested in buying a previously owned Flatcap of Hicap. Any suggestions on where I might look?Thanks in advance!
