| Inflated prices in audio @clearthink I don't like cables because there are just too damn many - I have tried quite a few (as per my post) and having gone in circles come back to my DNM cables which are as cheap as chips but work very well with my amp/system (which actuall... | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. @chakster bear in mind SME have been consistently producing arms for over 50 years - can anyone else claim this? no waiting list like a Schroeder. DaVinci is very costly like Schroeder too.Any SME arm ever made can and will be serviced and restore... | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. One of the funniest things is that they used to send things via simple first class post in a box as opposed to signed for delivery - don't know if that has changed though | |
| Inflated prices in audio @dill LOL - sticky keyboard on my appllllleee maaac - that not only would have been in business a long time - but also they's be a wealthy company had they sold it for about £2500 in large numbers over that time period.@mike_in_nc and @roberjerman... | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. @mofimadness said the most salient point insofar as they took the arm so far forward.They don't go well with Linn Sondeks and other 3 points due to their weight (talking about the iv and v) but they are a great choice for Roksan, Point triangle an... | |

| Best Phono amp under $2000. Gold note PH 10? Graham Slee? Whest? Tom Evans Microgroove plus. Are you buying new or second-hand. If new ask to borrow it. They are a very personal choice | |
| Analog room correction for vinyl Excellent thread.if you want a ‘room correction’ device try and find a Rives PARC it is all analogue but calculates in the digital I think - not just that but it works primarily in the bass where you get most room correction issues. Failing that c... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? When I spoke of plundering I meant in the sense of stealing ideas culture art etc. If u want to go political then that is a never ending list for starters:australians vs aborigines Irish v native AmericansSinhalese v Tamilseast. V west pakistanthe... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? I do find it hilarious when people in Europe and America deride the Chinese, or any other non Anglo - European civilisations for efforts after having plundered the culture and civilisations from those very countries... Yet china manufactures most ... | |
| New to classical music First of all I really appreciate this.I did indicate that I have eclectic taste as in the hole musical spectrum, but in fairness, I hadn't considered eclectic within the genre itself, so I appreciate your kind suggestions there as well.I have to s... | |
| Whest Phono Stages @slimpikins5 Well in relative terms lets say the Klimo Viv is on the warm end of a scale say a 10 - an EAR 834P at 9 the Conrad Johnson EF1 and Vendetta SCP2A at 5, the Whest at 4 and Tom Evans Groove at 9 the Dynavector P75 at 1.I guess that's ... | |
| Whest Phono Stages I reviewed the 0.20 over 10 years ago - it sounds great still although I know that the game has moved on since then. I thought it was so much better than the Tom Evans Groove - more body, depth of field and a lot more. I have since acquired the Ve... | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? @rauliruegas I've stopped worrying about the cerebral requirement for having a live reference. My simple test now is does the sound connect me to the music? in which case warmer cd, cleaner vinyl - I may be unconsciously making them sound the same... |
