The thread starts: The wife’s away the music will play. I have the weekend to myself and can mess the house up so I rescued the Allison One’s from the garage where they have sat patiently for 10 years. I bought them in the early eighties so that makes them nearly 30 years old. I […]

The thread starts as follows: “I’m ready to move on from my current system: Bryston 4BST, Proceed Pre, Revel Performa F30’s and Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC. I’m planning to keep the DAC, and swap the Bryston and Proceed out for a decent integrated SS amp (just don’t want to “do” tubes, even though I think […]
The thread starts: “From the Isoclean products to the Weizhi over to the Stage 3 power cables and now to the Thales IC. The S3 and Thales are by far the best AC/IC I have ever heard in my system. No cable has come close to them. The new AC passive units Brain sells are […]
I have a Lenco 88 that’s been up in the shed for longer than I’d care to admit, and I now feel the urge to get it sorted at long last. I’ve started looking at plinths; what is the general consensus regarding slate vs. layered ply? I was going to go for an SME 3012/SPU, […]

Originally published in 2007 TechRadar writes: Most hi-fi systems on sale worldwide are so heavily marked up that the majority of customers are being scandalously ripped off. That’s what AVI hi-fi chief Ashley James said in an interview conducted with Tech.co.uk last Friday at the Bristol Sound & Vision Show . He also said that […]

EDITOR’S NOTE: The opinions expressed below here do not necessarily reflect those of our editorial team – just in case you wondered. Neil. ================= I have, what some may consider, an unhealthy obsession with small speakers. Over the past 25 years I have gone from Kans to IBL’s, and that’s about it. I have tried […]
I rescued one speaker from a charity shop skip today. They said only one had been handed in and I could have it. Who hands one speaker in to a charity shop? Aaaw it looked so lonely and its the first version with the copper tweeter. Mint front and drivers thanks to the grill but […]
I bought this well respected phono stage as a stop gap earlier this year. I fancy trying something else so this needs to go to help fund it. There’s not a lot on the web about these but everything you do find it positive. I can’t tell you much about the specs I’m afraid. Patrick […]
Been on this forum for a couple of months and i’m enjoying reading and learning loads. Also i end up sometimes envying some of the kit talked about! I use an all audiolab 8200 setup of 8200cd direct to 2 x 8200p bi amping some Proac D15’s. I’m generally happy with the sound and the […]
Paul McGowan: We’ve probably beat this topic of being an Audiophile to death. The discussion sparked a few ideas about how we might get together in service of ourselves. There’s advantage and power in a group, certainly a self serving one. More to follow someday. But today is Thanksgiving. That time of year when we […]
Oh boy, the Rotel RA-1412 is an integrated I’ve wanted for a long time and I finally managed to get one but it wasn’t easy. I usually miss out or get burned when I try to get anything from CL. This time, I see this beauty on CL in the Jacksonville, Fl area and it’s […]
The thread starts ….. I’m contemplating a new integrated amplifier, or preamp and power amplifier, or a receiver to drive my AR3a speakers. I’m asking for recommendations and suggestions please.

Hi guys. In the past I’ve had Naim Nait xs integrated amp along with a Naim dac. To be honest, I really got to dislike the sound. It had too much treble, or maybe thinness, to describe it in the most communicable language I can think of. Just wondering what amplifiers may offer a more […]
I’m trying to get a handle on what’s up with these arms. It seems there isn’t alot of info available outside of the most desireable FR-64 and -66 series, though the FR-14s seem to command a bit higher prices. From what I can find: The -24, -34, -54 and -64 were contemporaries, with the -34 […]
Hi everyone, I don’t usually do this kind of thing (join forums etc) but had to share this… In a past life (single man) I was a Naim nut but have just wasted several years of life perservering with a pair of Linn amps (Kolektor/LK85) to try and get them to sound ‘right’ for me. […]
I’m curious, which of the NAIM olive CD players is the best? Which one should I look out for on the 2nd hand market? I thought it might be nice to have one to round out my set of olive gear. Continue HERE EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions expressed in the above post do not necessarily […]

The thread starts: Help me understand. I just upgraded my Rega Saturn stock power cord with a VH Audio Airsine. My God!!! I’m still shaking my head in amazement. I’m now a believer that the PC is the most important cable, starting with the source component. Observe the conversation and/or express your view by clicking […]
My Small flea power amps are fine powering my Tannoy Grf Autographs when I am in my listening room alone, However these 2 watt amps are just not powerful enough if i want to crank up the volume when i am working in different parts of the house. As the Tannoys are happy being fed […]
