Hello Howard. I came across your very good blog whilst looking for Linn Sara information. I wonder if you have any knowledge of another Speaker Manufacture? I purchased a set of Principal Design PD150 speakers in the mid to late 80s. One drive unit has developed a fault so I have been looking for information […]
Hi Howard, Thanks for mentioning my R-zero on your website, I’m sure it helped sell it, however I’ve just been told the winning bidder was a fake! I will be re-listing it right now. Anyway, I was going to contact you as I have some tone arms that I know very little about and was […]

Your articles on vintage equipment spurred me to take another look at my Philips N4510 reel to reel recorder (circa. 1974). The last time I used it was 5 years ago when the recorder stuck on the rewind function. Hence it was consigned to the attic. However after some fiddling I’ve managed to get it […]

At present I listen to the 11 ohms Rogers version of the above speaker. Generally I am pretty happy with the sound. I wonder if there would be any benefit in going over to a newer design from Spendor or Harbeth, perhaps a slightly larger enclosure ( my listening room is 9 X 11 feet)?. […]
