| new L100? I gave not heard the new ones, but the originals were wonderfully open and spacious.The only issue I found with the originals was a mildly raucous treble. It would be interesting to know if the new ones have fixed that and retained the rest. I can... | |
| The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions? I’d say no, not unless you’ve heard them and like them. Sure they are great speakers, but you should never use a price drop alone as an excuse to pull the trigger. If I did that I’d end up with a number of ’second’ systems. Err... hang on, come to... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Technics seem to want the whole of the turntable market. Fair enough, but it was the stalwarts such as Pro-ject that kept the faith during the darkest days of vinyl. This really is quickly becoming a golden age of vinyl playback. Seriously, who sa... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @electo69 I never did find out which was which, but there was a difference. I'll check out the links again you've put up tonight, thanks. The fact that the Technics got close to the Caliburn is remarkable enough.@schubert , my experiences with Nag... | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? @taras22 , that is a shame to hear about film sound bring treated so badly. I imagined after all the efforts of Orson Welles, the great musical scores down the ages, and more recently George Lucas's weight behind THX that the industry would finall... | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? @tomcy6 No I don’t believe recording standards are very high. In fact it’s pretty obvious that most of the industry has very little regard for the concerns of audiophiles. We’re just far too small a group for them to take us seriously. The Steve H... | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? @shadorne Great points! Live recording is always going to remain a good point of reference for playback. I imagine Film and TV studios would place a high priority on performance and reliability simply because of the huge recording and production... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @dave_b you’re right about experience, unless you are lucky enough to find a system that provides long term satisfaction straight off the bat. Some of us have spent decades in sorting out the truths from the fictions with very little help from the... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable @bdp24 I find most magazine reviews and reviewers to be next to useless for evaluation purposes, the UK ones doubly so. Poor methodology, watered down criticism, flavour of the month recommendations, editorial constraints etc leave them barely fi... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @dave_b I’m glad you enjoyed it, certainly lifts my spirits. Just love deadpan ironic humour.@acman3 yes I’ve seen it before but its brilliance will never get old. Thanks.For me anyway, it's reassuring to know that only solid silver is a better co... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? @rvpiano, yes but it’s far too complicated to narrow down to just one view. At least for us audiophiles. I do think that in these download times it should be easier for the recording industry, if they could be bothered, to deliver multiple recordi... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I remember a time when both the trailblazers of high-end audio here in the UK, Linn and Naim, decreed that holographic imagery a minor issue - timing was said to be the thing back then.I love holographic imagery but the best I heard was through so... | |

| linn sondek tt @daveyf , you have made your opinion clear time and time again. And again and again. Why do you repeatedly feel you have the right to denigrate other opinions which don't coincide with yours? Time after time, again and again with absolutely nothin... | |
| linn sondek tt @dsholl1 Well said.I wonder what the OP has made of all this? |
