The trio still sounds raw, which is naturally part of the appeal of this performance: they’re stumbling toward greatness, occasionally tripping into the transcendent but most […]
All styles served here! I know opinion is divided, but as a fence-sitting digital cabling sceptic should I buy a modestly priced (up to £50) cable just to be on the safe side? If your viewpoint is “Why don’t you try listening to one ?” can anyone recommend a dealer who will give me 30 […]
Forgive me for using the term “soul” because I don’t mean it in a disrespectful or religious manner – but for lack of a better term – I mean a life of its own. I think we all agree machines have personalities and they invoke feelings and emotions in us and for many they can […]

They’ve changed. I think typical of what you might hear is something like this: They no longer appreciate good music. They’re perfectly […]

They tell us ….. There was a moment in 1987, when a feisty and driven Joan Baez thought, “enough is enough.” She rolled up her sleeves and accepted an offer from artist manager and label executive Danny Goldberg to join his latest start-up, Gold Castle, and start making records again. That decision led to three […]

This is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Buy yourself a turntable outer rim-weight………brand doesn’t matter. These are the metal ring-type weights intended to keep the vinyl flat at the edges just as a centre clamp or weight is intended to keep the record flat at the centre. Now use it religiously on […]

Going bigger than 10mm would mean spending more but also investing in a VTA adjuster for my RB250 so opinions on whether it’s worth it would be appreciated. […]
