Re: C'mon - Yer first HiFi......?

When I was washing up in the Wimpy Bar at 15 years old I saved up my money and bought a Trio KA3700, KT5500 & the cassette player that went with it, can't remember the number. I'm not too sure what the speakers were, may have been Wharfedale Lintons and my parents bought me a cheap Technics TT.

Re: Help.....A good budget MC cartridge.?

The lowest output you can get away with I would have thought. It doesn't seem to work like you'd think, I changed from a 0.4mv Koetsu to a 0.24mv ZYX and the output level seems virtually the same.

Re: Help.....A good budget MC cartridge.?

I didn't particularly like the 103, (but maybe hadn't applied enough extra mass), or the Sumiko Evo, or the 1042.
What I did REALLY like at that money was the Ortofon 2M Black it's MM of course but it is superb for the money.

Re: DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT Vienna Acoustics BEETHOV

Yes, but you're just guessing! If they are at a bargain price just buy em, try em, (in your acoustic environment and your amps), and if yo don't like em, flog em!

Running in amps

Morning Richard I'll soon be taking delivery of a pair of your Mk1 A80s :D . Quick question: When it comes to running them in does the volume make a difference, ie, will it run-in quicker at a higher volume, or is it just simply having a music signal running through it that does the job even at a lo...

Re: PA50sa and A70

Hi Richard, The PA50sa and A70 have been running around 8 hours, they performed more detail and bass compare with my previous system (Onix per amp, power amp system), the 2nd day was performing better than 1st day, but still not reach what I expect. I believe they need more time to run to perform b...

Re: Introduce Yourselves

I'm Pete, born & bred in the once lovely town of Dover! There are still a few nice bits and I live in one of them - River, just a few metres from the river Dour. I'm sitting watching the swans, ducks and kingfisher as I type but got a couple of friends coming round later to listen to some music ...
