Re: Pretty pissed about this really....

I had a similar problem which meant that I sold all of my Teddy Pardo kit and moved to NVA as I needed a balance control. I now wear hearing aids and it’s been something of a revelation. Once I get the volume right on my amp, the cube 3s are stunning. To keep the post honest, I’m looking to move hou...

Re: Speakers again

As a Cube 3 owner, I would certainly recommend trying to track down a second hand pair or waiting to hear what the forthcoming Cubes sound like. The Cubes have a different presentation to “traditional speakers”. If you love pinpoint holographic imaging then they will disappoint. If you like a realis...

Re: Japanese Direct Drive Appreciation

The Doc steered me in the direction of the PIoneer PL71. I currently own 2 of them and they are very nice indeed. There are some good belt drives out there (I like the ceramic platter Regas) but the PL71 just sounds so right.

Sad news about Burke. I always had a soft spot for Budgie. Heavy and melodic (sometimes in the same song). R.I.P.

Re: NVA and Others For Sale

I’m drifting on my own thread now but did anybody notice that a P20/A20 sold on ebay for £540 recently and no mention of interconnects in the sale.

If I recall correctly, the Doc was selling these pre/power with some sound cord and a starter speaker cable for £299.

Re: NVA and Others For Sale

Keith, I have a purchaser for the phono plus both PSUs.

Is there any interest from anybody for the pioneers or the Marantz ?

Re: Having a good clear out

Stu,
Don’t forget to separate the scrap. Ally is worth a lot more than steel etc. A scrap dealer will only be too happy to give you a scrap steel price for any ally or bronze you have.

Re: Having a good clear out

Everything I own (with the exception of the hifi, records, computer and 2 guitars) is in 2 wardrobes and a bedside cabinet. I have never seen the point in hoarding.

If I need it, I buy it. If it’s not been used for a while it gets binned.

If only Mrs S had the same attitude…..

Re: Linn Karousel

This constant “our upgrade makes it the best ever” implies that they didn’t do a good job in the first place. If we believe this then hifi from years ago must be very poor.

Listen to something “old” and then wonder why it isn’t crap.
