| Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s? @whipsaw ,"In other words, can the listener simply and consistently distinguish between components, irrespective of which they may prefer."This seems to be the main problem the anti blind listening test brigade have.No one has regularly managed to... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon @coys21,"Apologies, but I will never purchase the following products because I am concerned that the hype here is due in no small part to a certain prolific poster receiving undisclosed “good customer” discounts: tekton, perfect path solutions, b... | |
| Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s? Alan Shaw has long welcomed any debate on his opinions regarding cables and amps. In fact he once even offered a pair of his top of the range M40s to anyone that would be willing to undergo an unsighted amplifier comparison test. Level matched of ... | |

| What Was Your Favorite “Game Changer” Moment? Going from a Wallmart type music centre to a separates system built around a Rega 3.The magnitude of improvement I experienced back then has never been approached by anything since.It was like focussing a pair of binoculars. Dylan and the band pla... | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. The Beatles solo work seemed to start off pretty good, All Things Must Pass, Plastic Ono Band/Imagine, Band on the Run etc but by 73 they were more or less done.Whatever had made the Beatles no longer existed. George in particular seemed to suffer... | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition @pani,"Thats why most audio demonstrations in shows happen on simple vocal based music, with couple of instruments in the background."When I went to an early presentation of the Naim Ovator s600s that's exactly the kind of music they were displayi... | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? @danager,"Just When You Think You’re Out, They Pull You Back In"Me too. There's just something endlessly fascinating about watching a turntable spin.A return to vinyl (at least to play back those 50 odd LPs I couldn’t part with) seems fairly inevi... | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. The Spector production seemed to work ok for the original vinyl.It’s mostly the subsequent digital transfers that seem to have various problems. Just how many attempts do they need?Just how many attempts will we keep buying?There’s been more versi... | |
| Money Well spent "Is we all have a shopping bag of left over cables WHY many because always hoping for that new improvement that some thing extra"In my case YES. There literally a bag full of old cables up in my loft. I'd sell them but I see it as fraud. M... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @simonmoon,Best song about the Beatles break up?Contemporary accounts did suggest that McCartney was responsible for the break up - if that actually was Paul McCartney of course.Of course nowadays we all know it was down to Yoko. | |
| Your favorite audio cartoons It's very important that we audiophiles learn to laugh at ourselves.It would appear that everyone else has been doing it for ages.Could be worse though. What if you also included wine tasting among your hobbies? | |
| Blindfold Speaker testing This might end up getting filed under ’Audiophiles and their fear of the blind listening test.’ Somehow a gossamer thin curtain, or a blindfold, or even turning off the lights seems to induce a sense of mild panic amongst certain folk that has the... | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition Interesting topic, platters. My preference is for a lightweight design because I believe Rega are on the right track at least where weight and mass are concerned.On the other hand both my Rega 3 and and LP12 had heavy platters. In fact one of the ... | |
