Phonostage Bake-Off - 08/07/18 - Penkridge *NOW CONFIRMED*

[Bigman80]

Nice! Ive wanted to hear a Vincent

Of course, be good to see you again.

[Floyddroid]

Any room for a tweaked Vincent PH700?

How have you tweaked it Barrington? Very interested.

Just seen this - I could make it over if there's still space. I have an interesting and rather good phonostage, a Russel Technologies, could also bring a pair of Urei 809 speakers (effectively JBL 4425s).

Yes of course, be good to see you again Niall.

We could use the Ureis for the phonostage test maybe?

There's space! Trust me, this hall is quite large lol.

Bring you wares!

Better than your speakers Macca?

A quick glance suggests they are certainly different?

They're smaller than the Ureis I had at Kegworth (811As), hell, these are almost managable. They've got Radian diaphragms in the treble, so sound rather better than stock JBL. Better than JM labs? I don't know JM labs 926s but don't imagine they sound similar. The Ureis sound like JBLs , maybe a little smoother in the treble and with better imaging because they are dual concentric, but still that big sound. Best bet would be to try them then decide - be interesting for people to hear them though.
