Hi Howard. I own a pair of Tangent RS4 speakers. While searching the web for an approximate price I came across your review. I love these speakers and have owned them since I was in high school ( I graduated in 1980). I am 51 now and I am moving- downsizing. I recently sold my […]

John Atkinson writes: “Meeting Englishman Tim de Paravicini for the first time, you start to wonder if your mind has slipped a gear, whether premature brain fade has cut in. The conversation seems not only to be racing by unexpectedly quickly, but also subjects you hadn’t even realized were subjects are being examined in […]
Background: At Subjective Audio, we were the most successful Meridian retailers for six years commencing in 1977 and thus arguably have sold more pairs of Meridian 105 power amps and 101 pre amps than anyone else. We have very happy memories of that era, the reliability of the equipment, the value and indeed the outstanding […]
I have just been offered a Transcriptor Skeleton. But to me it seems as a somewhat strange construction? Why the glassbox ? Won’t it resonate like a bell?
Editorial note 21/02/19. The thread started in 2011 but I found (this evening) that quite a few of the observations are still relevant and interesting. Neil / editor ===================== I thought it might be good to share this little gem. Michell Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference Turntable. I like I no doubt many others on here, was […]
One of the first things that upended my expectations was how sexy the affordable EVO S bookshelf speakers are. At first I thought, those look like Magico, especially from how the surfaces mimic that bolted-slab-of-aluminum look. And how they stand proud of the surface they are on by way of an integrated stand-off base. I […]
They say: For some time, Helius has been asked to recreate a version of the Scorpio for the 21 century. We have bowed to the pressure and have now launched this, the 4th product to bare the name Scorpio. Available in both 9” and 10” guises we also believe the design benefits from the […]
Colin – can we get meaningful measurements of power line noise? Is the noise too low-level to measure without exorbitantly expensive equipment? What equipment is required? Outside of laboratories, who has it? We buy all sorts of devices to clean up power. So why can’t we measure the noise that’s there and target it? Wayne […]
HI-FI CHOICE … “If the old CXA60 was a close-but-no-cigar integrated, its successor might well have hit the jackpot at its price point. It isn’t perfect and needs care with partnering equipment if its inherent enthusiasm and eagerness to entertain is to be sympathetically framed. But, if not quite limitless, the CXA61 is potent beyond […]
I am a member of a Audio Forum over here in the U.S. and other members seem to love KEF speakers if they can get hold of them. Reference 103.2, 104’s, 105’s etc. are highly regarded here. I haven’t seen any talk on KEF speakers on AOS. Does this mean they are not so popular […]

I started my hi-fi journey with a pair of these and have been very interested to revisit them for quite a while – I remember loving them. I’ve been holding off for either a boxed pair or a pair locally and in as close to mint condition as possible as they are just something I’d […]
