Just a little sidenote- At the same time that "The Flat Response" was publishing in the UK, another small audio publication with a very similar "Flat Earth" focus and attitude began it's own brief but influential run in North America. That magazin... | |
| What does Flat Earth mean in audio circles? There was a very vocal hifi publication published in the UK in the mid 80's called The Flat Response. The Flat Response militantly extolled the concepts which have since become known as PRaT(Pace, Rhythm and Timing). They argued that a stereo syst... | |
| Heavy Kit / Power Supply upgrade for Nottingham? If you're mainly considering a high performance platter mat, take a look at the Boston Design's Mat 1. My experience to date on several other decks has been very positive.I suspect it would be an excellent adjunct to a Spacedeck. Unlike other mats... | |
| Heavy Kit / Power Supply upgrade for Nottingham? I'd first go for the psu upgrade and then take some time researching your amplifier decision.Bypass the "heavy kit" entirely.It changes the character of the deck from rhythmic to sonambulent.For hifi squids only. | |
| Preamp Isolation Cones Without Going NUTS DH Labs 'Jumbo' cones at $70/set are the finest cone footer I've yet encountered.Unlike most cones devices(including their flagship 'Super'), the DH Jumbo's don't muck up pace and flow.(The DH large isn't bad either tho not as effective)Black Diam... | |

Hi Bob,First of all,"Mr Lyon" seems a tad formal.Ken will do just fine.I wear jeans and tee-shirts most of the time and can scratch my crotch with the best of 'em.

| Neuance or Z Slab shelf for Zoethecus rack??? Re:"If I tried a high weight range shelf under a lighter weight component, can you guess in what way the compromise would be?" The presentation would typically have a slightly hard/edgey quality and the platform's overall effectiveness somewhat re... | |

| Roksan Integrateds You shouldn't have any problems driving your NHT's with the Caspian to fairly high listening levels.Tonally, the Caspian is slightly warm in overall balance with excellent tautness,control and authority on the bottom, sultry lower mids,a liquid mi... | |
| Roksan Integrateds RE:"you guys can't tell me that NONE of you know the Caspian integrated...."I know the Caspian series well,and have used Caspian IA as an stereo integrated, as a pre-main stereo combo in conjunction with the Caspian PA,in vertical & horizontal... | |
| Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP? Consider the 47Labs Shigaraki DAC and use your Marantz as a transport.I don't really know how to quantify "LP sound" like but if it's the natural ease and flow of vinyl that you're after, the Shigaraki is about as close as you'll find for the mone... | |
