Hello Colin What sources and speakers does you use in development and why please? Thanks. Mike Hi Mike, Now that is a tricky question I like my old Ruark Sabres, they are old friends made for me by my old friend. I also use Spendors, and borrow others makes depending on what I am designing. […]
Paul McGowan: I am often asked why power supplies make a difference in audio electronics. For, after all, it’s the power supply and it is not in the signal path. Being outside the signal path suggests that a well designed power supply should be sonically invisible, as if it were not even there, yet the […]
From the archives I have a pair of Harbeth 7ES compacts. I’m driving them with a Marantz PM17 at the moment. I’m considering building an amp. Would something like a Nelson Pass F5 25W per channel be sufficient ? I see there are a whole community of F5 and similar amp builders out there, or […]
The thread starts ….. I have been reading many views on the Forums (not just here) about the 1200/1210’s and the deck has been received with mixed views. Many just don’t want to be asociated with a ‘DJ’ playing ‘Happy Birthday’ by Altered Images at a kids birthday party and others who want to know […]
Paul McGowan My recent post suggested the perceived shift away from high-end audio was not what it appears. That, in fact, it is a shift away from spending family resources on isolating the audio system – not the lack of desire for high-performance. We now have entire generations of music lovers who want music throughout […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrpwYhDxfsc A few viewer thoughts: Would it be Michael Stipe if he stood still? Has Stipe borrowed the suite David Byrne wore in the concert Stop Making Sense? This is the song by REM that I sing in the shower. I love Michael Stype and all his music. Thank you.
To mark their 50th anniversary, The Kinks have announced details of an extensive re-release programme covering their classic 1964-1970 catalogue. The first album in the series will be 1970’s Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One, which will be reissued on August 18. This 2-CD reissue expanded edition comes with Mono and Stereo mixes as well as […]
That thread I started on Leak Stereo 70’s etc got me thinking that there is quite a bit of gear out there which although of decent quality one barely ever hears about any more… and more rarely still is it ever suggested as a classic purchase. I guess a classic example of such a scenario […]

Leading German concert violinist Arabella Steinbacher has won top international awards for her moving performances. Deutsche Welle spoke with the star ahead of her concert with the National Youth Orchestra of Iraq. MORE
Now that highly respected mag, What Hi Fi (Stop it. I can see you smirking) has given glowing reviews to the majority of Rega products over the years, though with notable exceptions e.g. the Apollo R c d player (wonder how they’ll review the soon to be released replacement, in the new ’rounded’ casing?) But […]
Hello Colin, please be patient with me because although I am an experienced listener I’m not very conversant with the technology that is available today. By this I mean I really just plug in and just listen. However recently I started to think about some of the units I use, In particular a Musical Fidelity […]
I was interested to learn that Habeth now have an active version of their M30.1 ~ perhaps this is news to others as well? This will be aimed more at the pro market, but I’ll certainly be interested in hearing a set and possibly even buying one! Anyone know the price of these? Please click […]
Alan Shaw writes: Clone Class D “digital” power amplifiers – can we really trust them…. as high fidelity components? I have on my test bench a very typical, inexpensive, so-called ‘digital’ amplifier. It is not positively promoted as being of audiophile or even high-fidelity grade, but I understand that it uses similar components and technology […]
Paul McGowan: My friend Doug keeps on me about getting involved with digital EQ. I keep resisting. I am really not sure why. I think I have a stubborn streak in me. Or maybe I am just scared. I do know that once I latch onto something I can’t let it go. So often times […]
