Houdini

[Ordinaryman]

Would it not be possible that if any/ all vinyl listeners here contributed £5//10 pounds and then purchased one via NVA. I believe kara was offered at trade £150) we could then rotate it and decide? I would be happy to start it of for a tenner. On a personal note I wouldn't want to dismiss it without hearing it. like many i wouldn't want to shell out £300. on a chance

You will need some more M2.5 nylon bolts to pass around as well.

You do know it is a money back guarantee? If you don’t like it, I think you lose the postage cost back to Funk.

Well that being the case if no one else here wants to give it a go, I might just do that and see for myself.

I'm of the opinion that if you have a desire to try the houdini you are dissatisfied with your hifi. Furthermore I am willing to bet the houdini will not sate your dissatisfaction.

Furthermore those that try it will swear they are not dissatisfied but the very act of trying will betray thier utterances.

It's certainly an interesting world when one wants to spend no more than £200 on a phono stage, but £300 on a small piece of plastic to go between cartridge and headshell.

That's 2020 for you

Count me out. I got the hard sell in my email exchanges with FF. They can FF off. Don't let that put you off though

My SME 2009 S2 Imp cost under £100 in the 1970s, I see no reason to spend more on this "device" than I did on the arm. I think I said that before.

As it happens I am not " dissatisfied " with my system whatever anyone else wishes to claim, and further more I do not consider this statement as "betraying my utterance" or that being inquisitive relates to being so "2020" as to were i set my financial limits after all they concerne no one else but myself. well we are all intiteled to an opinion? Ad hominem removed
I for one would however rather base mine on experience rather than prejudice. Should anyone have beqen bothered to read the post i stated that £300. was out of the question. Didn't start out "dissatisfied " but I think maybe that's changed. Sad.

I am of the opinion that your opinion is wrong.

HiFi is a hobby for a lot of people, and improving enjoyment of the music is a key part. You can do this with better arms, cartridges and turntables. You can do this by changing head shell material etc. Some people don’t do anything and prefer to buy more music to enjoy. It is completely up to the individual how they want to achieve what they are looking for.

I did not try one because I am dissatisfied with my system. I tried one because I am inquisitive.

I think you will find pomposity rules it's own domain.
