Thank you. :)Quote:

No new boxes, just a new rack to plonk the existing ones on...the *Minister for Home Affairs hath decreed that the maple QS shelves don't match the rest of our stuff (which is true) so ended up with this Twattycarma thingy...

Look neat enough - and sounds ok.
*She's not all bad - she let me buy a spangly new plasma telly last weekend. ;)
As you say Richard, very neat and tidy looking system, still loving the VA feet l see:)
Thanks Andy - yup, the VA feet is certainly doing da business. Every couple of days I'll put the Iso's back on and each time it's 'yup...the VA feet are definitely better'. Good to find a happy balance in the system - and they clearly work well in conjunction with the VA bearing. :)Quote:

I'm fairly convinced the amp is a culprit here - the Claymore's a serious bass monster (it has loads of clout here) and this has perhaps just tipped the balance over the edge.
On orchestral/simple acoustic it's still fabulous, just anything with a lot of bass ie rock/funk/electronic/double bass etc it's a bit over-powering. Would like to try a different amp perhaps (Brio R?) but where to get hold of one to borrow isn't going to be easy as we're a bit out in the hifi sticks here (apart from Theo who's just up the road).
you are welcome Richard, l do like simple systems and monitor speakers as you can probably tell:)
Got this little rig at home on trial for a few days...

Had the day off work today (got a throat infection so taking lungfuls of air and blowing down a Clarinet wasn't my idea of fun!) so had plenty of chance to have a good first listen to this M2Tech set up. I do try - honest(!) - not to gush about bits of kit but from the first couple of minutes' listening I felt it was going to be a bit special, and as a result I've sat for nigh on 5 hours today just listening to music. Something I've not done for a long, long time.
I'll pop a review into another part of the forum when I get time. :)
Richard, are those Something Solid speaker stands? They look so like the ones we used to sell at Listen Inn way back when..
Well spotted Dave. :)Quote:

Such a simple, but undeniably effective bit of kit - and no way heavy in the £ dept too. :)
Give my very best to the Deco boys should you speak to them again. We used to have regular weekly deliveries from Mark Orr back then and I sold a lot of these stands. Mark used to do a bagged sand-ballast for them too - can't remember if they were extra.. The "string-driven" balsa-shelved racks he does aren't the prettiest, but my Gawd they perform well, and this to a stand-sceptic like me as well..
Hey, that DVD player/transport looks familiar too. Mine's the 444 version... :D
Ooo - the noo Young gear. I had the older Young DAC and much enjoyed my time with it. :)
Hey - I've just seen this ....
