Another great video mate. Makes me wish I hadn't sold my GL75 :)
They are very nice machines and sound great as you know. :)Quote:

Thanks and good point Barry. I might have to make a part 2!:).Quote:

Lots going on at the moment and hope to get to hear some monumental speakers soon and maybe some other interesting gear so will pop something up when I have more to say. I have stopped messing around with the system for the time being - difficult to improve anything really unless I spend a ton of cash and I have other projects I am ear marking that for.
YouTube filming ongoing and just editing next video currently so hope to pop something up next week.
Jim. Just a quick ‘Un. I’ve been using the JICO n44-7 SAS/B on the m55e and it’s a cracker. JICO also do ruby and sapphire variants should your wallet be sufficiently stuffed with some of the folding stuff! ��
That sure is a temptation and is on my radar since Jico mentioned that you could use the N44-7 in the M55e. Maybe that why they don't manufacture a M55e SAS anymore?Quote:

Very very good, getting better every review!
Thanks Andy, you do tend to learn stuff along the way and hopefully get better? My YouTube interest is really a retirement hobby to keep the brain active as there are so many skills to learn and perfect. For me it is all about the journey and not the destination. I enjoy making them and with better equipment I hope I can do a better job. Studying most YouTubers this is the path they have trodden.Quote:

Great video there James, looks like a bit of a bargain and then some!
It is certainly great value for money!:)Quote:

I am subscribed.
Cheers Martin.Quote:

Great review James[emoji106] would be interesting if you re-visited and used it with a dedicated streamer to see how that sounded.Quote:

I will save this for tonight
Good video again James. Interesting use of materials :)
Yes works for me. Strange combo for sure but does the trick. Compact laminate is strange stuff as it contains many constrained layers of material.Quote:

Good observations on vibration control,
Been in that space myself of late and found myself nodding my head a lot of the time watching your video.
Cheers Gary, sometimes easier to show it in a video than describing it but the proof of the pudding is in the listening.Quote:

100%
Similar stuff works for digital too.
Everything matters.
Look forward to your next upload!

I was amazed at the performance of the Meridian 206. Who would have thought that an ancient CD player could sound so good?Quote:

Impossibly expensive high end to me back then. I'd bought the mag so I had something to read in the DHSS while they sorted out my claim :)
There's one on eBay right now on a £350 BIN if anyone fancies a punt on one.
Another good video, James.
