    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Heard Talk 3 with my RS3's when I had them.
    It was the second best cable I'd heard with them, only bettered by TQ Black.

    Even then the Talk 3 got very close.
    Best of the rest, great cable...recommended 100%.

    It will work, no problem but the Talk-3 is a better cable. IMO

    I use Talk 3 with a Brio-R and ATC SCM11s. It all sounds very good !

    Martin,

    Are your 11's the newer curved version?

    How is the Brio R gripping the 11's? Is the room small?

    No, they're the previous incarnation. The room is quite small: 13' x 12', solid brick walls and concrete floor. I think the Rega drives them very well, but I don't listen to much rock or heavy-metal.

    I tried them on the end of a Quad 606; it was better, but not by much. I think the R has more oompf than some would give it credit, or maybe the 11s don't need as much power as some say; or maybe I'm just deaf !

    @ Martin, Thanks for that. As they say, ''trust your ears''.

    Does the Brio-R fair well with VDH speaker cable?

    I've also got ''The Snowline'' speaker cables as well. http://www.vandenhul.com/products/ca...e-halogen-free

    The Brio-r works well with any cable, why shouldn't it. If you already own the VDH, you can buy a Brio-r, confident that it will sound good.

    Chaps,

    The volume on my Rega Brio-R...

    When turning down VERY low, one channel will disappear. While the other one can be heard.

    Is this amp employing a rather cheap volume pot?

    S.
