Indeed but I'm sure our paths will cross at some point! I like the idea of constantly elevating each format to outperform one another (if you...

A nice place to be Oliver. The "grand" (ol) presentation the vinyl gives me is still what thrills me. I actually know my digital end is fairly good...

I enjoy the differences between vinyl and digital. I also get more out of "taking a break" from one to the other. Yes, I'm digital 90% of the time...

Ah okay, gotcha. Sounds an interesting setup and like I say I would go VD all the way as its so cheap you can experiment. I like the idea of...

Van Damme blue 2.5mm. Always a go to in my experience. You say speakers are active but you're wiring them to an amp? Or do you mean the speakers...

Good man. Sigh of relief from all the concerned fellow enthusiasts I'm sure! Good luck to him, if it sounds "good" now I'm sure incredible...

It is and absolutely no denying it. Like I say I'm certainly not one to criticise but it was jumping out at me like a giraffe in a microwave! ...

Very possible. Although would do my head in re-positioning. Although granted, they will definitely have a larger sweet-spot than my speakers!

Not to criticise some absolute dream kit but is the left speaker not somewhat obstructed by the equipment rack positioning? Just seems strange to...

Can you come and do mine Alan?? . . . . :wah:

Hi Richard, I'm sorry to hear about your woes. I have recently had a similar experience with my purchase of some 63's. (Although not the sellers...

Hi Tony, thanks for this. The Temple Mono's have been on my radar for a while but ultimately I have aimed for something similar (but more!) in the...

A proper amp for someone. I owned its smaller brother for many years and it was truly exceptional. Absolute bargain at the price IMO. ...

Well as no communication for whatever reason please remove me from list Jamie.

Having owned four pairs of 57's and now on my second pair of 63's I can tell you it is not plain sailing by any means. My previous pair of 63's held...

Hi Stephen, thanks for the info and your kind offer. I think I have found an amp for my Quads but I'm always open to suggestions. I'm going to try...

Let battle commence....

Awesome, thanks Chris. I'm just having a read now. Nice one.

Oliver (Bigman80) has made me some IC cables recently. His price was more than fair and I'm 100% sure I wouldn't get anything like them without...

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated. I think I might chance it on one of the original ones I linked to. Cheers Jules, that's...

Found a good deal on a Musical Fidelity A3.2 CR preamp . . . (rather than risk the chi-fi lottery!) Any thoughts??

Thanks John, probably a slight stretch for me at the moment. I know the Primare's are very good though. If priorities change I'll keep it in...

This pre is really just for me to have as stop gap before the Neurochrome build begins but I also plan to use it in a much cheaper errrr third system...

Hi Lawrence. I tried these speakers too but ultimately they didn't sound "big" enough in my room. I tried them in a smaller listening area and...

Yes I think I was number 10. I had assumed this wasn't continuing but I'd still be up for testing them (and giving some feedback) at some point. ...

Is original list defunct?
