Re: Phono stages

For what its worth I had a Rega P3 which I swapped out for a Technics 1210 - a huge (surprising for me at the time) improvement - moved on to a Lenco which is so so much more - so definitely look in that direction - there are ready made plinths on eBay to house the deck quite easily plus a dedicated...

Re: What did you use before NVA?

What kit did you own before NVA? A&R Cambridge A60 for 12 years How did you hear about NVA? I hadn't - went to buy some Naim amps and asked the dealer what else they had that they could demo as an alternative so I could take the whole afternoon over choosing and NVA was brought into the room Wha...

Re: Did Anyone Do the NVA challenge in the 90`'s

My introduction to NVA was when in 1996 I went to Doug Brady Hifi (Warrington) to buy (audition) a Naim 42/110 as I had decided that I needed to go down the pre/power route so having listened to the Naim kit I asked what else did they have (as I had all afternoon) that I could listen to. Can’t remem...

Re: Can the world act fast?

Can China, India, Africa, South America be persuaded that they need to do without the economic advantages that Europe and the US gained for themselves through the use of fossil fuels? I think the question is can they find a way to get those advantages through following a 'green' approach rather tha...
