Re: NVA Blog

If it's not a rude question - what can you play on a DAC? Surely a "player" with a volume control would be fewer boxes and less to go wrong? I use a Blusoun d Vault. What can you play on a DAC? It does sound a bit like the title of an innuendo laden George Formby song :grin: Yeah, you cou...

Re: Detachable head shells

When I was into such things, the gold standard for detachable headshells was the AKG. They are not cheap. There is an AT version but I don't have any background / experience with that. One thing that was recommended and I don't know how relevant it is, is to try adding weight such as a 1p piece to t...

Re: FS : TIS mk2 - 750mm pair

I have a pair of these and marginally prefer them to the later version - but that's a matter of taste. Good price as well.

As a friend of mine said, I'm not a non smoker, just a smoker who doesn't smoke. However, my experience also says, time is a great healer. Unfortunately, the Good Lor...

Trouble is, I can't work out how to get the pic up. It's on my e mail client not on a web page. Have you tried searching for a similar i...
