I've no experience of modern cd players as I've been lucky with a couple of classic models. Ironically, one is about to have a repair (it's second, after a laser replacement), as the IEC filter went bang. However, that's pretty good going for 26 years. The player? Micromega Classic Solo - it made me...

Thank you for that Lindsay - you've hit all the nails on the head and reminded me why I no longer go to Hifi shows. There were a few instances where I came away from a room having been thoroughly impressed. One of them was Lindsay's system with the large EMT turntable, some valve amp and big PA-type...

I've always loved albums cut by George 'Porky/Pecko' Peckham. They're incredibly 'airy' and dynamic, no matter what band. Some favourites by him (sometimes first pressing only): T. Rex - Electric Warrior Genesis - Selling England /The Lamb Curved Air - Air Cut Deep Purple - Who Do We Thing We Are / ...

...and this is what one looks like on a Trio/Kenwood L-07D: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50541208251_ecd1e5e7dc_k.jpg 30DEB50E-C694-46C9-AC2C-345CF8FAFFC5_1_201_a by call_me_theo https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50527941116_dfdea28184_k.jpg 04E3804C-5340-4E18-9945-555524B8D137_1_201_a by c...

I've got tickets for the Genesis and - if allowed - will happily go and see them, possibly for the last time. However, this live show from the Rainbow in 1977 is how I remember them: https://youtu.be/Ugaa6iz5ZN8 It's a shortened version for Radio, but makes you wish you could re-mix Seconds Out, and...

A great looking piece of equipment. What the f..k do you play on it? Had a ferrograph and revox years ago, still have some old tapes from that era of the band I used to be in, not sure I would like to hear them now :oops: I recorded a couple of the Proms 2020 concerts, and a couple of streams from ...

interesting to read the digital journeys people have got through this year. I went back in time: let the NVA TFS digital machine go back to NVA Towers and utilised a Google Chromecast Audio, Trends DAC and MacBook Pro as my only digital source. However, I did acquire a beautiful R2R machine. I let m...

Most of mine are Jazz related - so much wonderful new jazz being created at the moment: James Copus - Dusk GoGo Penguin - GoGo Penguin Patchwork Jazz Orchestra - The Light That Shines Tom Green Septet - Tipping Point Pat Metheny - From This Place Fish - Weltschmerz The Lickerish Quartet - Threesome ...

After having done precious little with my system for 3-4 years, I'd planned on nothing more than a couple of cartridge re-tips. Then I saw a reel-to-reel... After that, it all went a bit hazy. Paul delivered a lovely NVA BMU, which kick-started my existing system in a surprising way, making me want ...
