I had John Michell's Response Threes (with which he developed the Orbe) and they were a breath of fresh air after Briks. Only superseded by my 3As and Fours.

Don't know if this helps, as I had the Sugano son Goldline, not the Sugano San one advertised (eff. the same, though) and it was exc. on my SME Five (11g eff. mass; at the lowest end of the medium...
I could never get bored WITH those; could play with them for ages; cables wouldn't get a look-in. Nicely made, too.
I was sorely tempted as I'm in Norwich but not sure about replacing my EAR 509s and compatibility with my big Quads but that big beast was very attractive. Glad it's sold.....in a way.:doh:
This is the mark 2 with inputs shown on the fascia. I sold my mark 1 a couple of years ago for a similar sum, so this represents exc. value. Not only is this little amp a cracker, its headphone out...
Just to add my take on these, as I have their big brothers (sexist?) the 2905s and have heard my friend's 2812s, which are virtually identical to the sale items. To my mind, far superior to 57s (I...
Considering it's the top of the O.L. tree, I'm not surprised you're happy :lol: I have a Dais with 12" Ace Anna and 12" chrome PU7. Both superb arms, one unipivot; t'other gimballed. Not sure why...
I'd just like to say that these are what I use between my 3.4V output CDP and my pre (at pre. end, of course). Being a sceptic about attenuators, I was amazed how this dealt with the problem (-10 and...
What about E.A.R.? The 912, which is exemplary and RCA or balanced to boot, is rare on the used market but would be around 5 to 6K (also contains good ph/stages). The pre. below that should be...
Chap over on the Wam is advertising for one, but isn't registered here.
I bought a pair for my computer and they are excellent but my wife thought so too and pinched them for her laptop; her use dwarf's mine, so I can't complain. Have a bump.
They are just down the road from me, and although there's comment from time to time, I've not heard about a repairs problem. As I have an Italian piece distributed by them, I'm a little concerned...
Currently using these on my computer; pads perished long ago, which is why my lady wiffie pinched my new but cheap Grado 60. They were taken into custody from the college audio stores I managed when...
The original Dr Feickert (which I have) is a heavy white disc (record) with location holes and engraving for null points etc. The gantry is, a.f.a.I can see, the same as the NG, but in silver in my...
Supertramp albums have very good s.q.. I've got about three, but I have 2 of 'Crime of the Century'. The first was very good, but the more recent purchase in a charity shop, looked like an older...
Amazing ! Wouldn't fancy recording on those tapes afterwards, though.
It's amazing that you can rearrange your kit and the speaker(s) change to different models; clever stuff, that.:lol:
ESCo (if it was them) only use glue, to my knowledge. However, Benz themselves only use glue. Twice; once for aligning and secondly for fixing. A glued stylus is less robust than a crimped or...
My limited experience in using attenuators to tame the 3.4 V output of my CDP into my valved pre is that the less attenuation you use (at the pre. end in my case), the less it affects s.q.

Martin, of the cart's I've had, admittedly on different decks, arms and with varying degrees of amplification/ speaker systems, the one I put right up there at the top is my current Proteus. The...
Dear me, Martin; this seems like a bookkeeper's approach to recorded music !:lol: Of the three last mentioned cart's, you might have almost covered the tonal range ! Miyajima equates to Koetsu; ...
You and me both, Adrian, and most of the audio fraternity to boot, I'd suggest.:) Besides, I dunno about you, but experimentation and tweakery may be very interesting and even informative, but it...
I really don't know as I've neither facilities to get internet radio to my kit nor the interest in so doing. If 'Music Planet', 'J to Z' and Jazz Requests (variable, of course) on R3 can sound live...
Hi Adrian, Simply from received wisdom, any arm which can allow SPUs to flourish has to be a good one! Can't see magnets doing well, but as I've found with my VMS, this is not a given. My K. Black...
Just a thought, Adrian. The ability to detect the greatest differences in presentation and performance from cart's must largely depend upon the arm. You wouldn't get much out of a stone-bodied Koetsu...
