It's the "listenability" of the ES phonostage in my Sony pre that has me taken aback. If I listen critically, I can pick out its failings compared to
'proper' phonostages like my old Dino/NC and Minimax. But the ES says "so what, just enjoy the music .... "
I think this is actually more like an issue between the listeners ears. Also those better phonostages allow you to do that, if you only allow it yourself. The idea of downgrading just gives our mind proper reason for it. After my time with Naim equipment I also found the same thing with PRaT.. :)
New camera, cheapo (very!) lens...

Always wanted to try a PL-71... It looks fab too! - Top matey!
I just love good black and white photography, so moody!
A few more - they're not overly crisp as my 50mm/1.8's a tad soft at wide apertures. Really ought to nab my tripod back so I can re-do these with the lens stopped down to get them properly crisp...

Nice! The lowest one would be really interesting as a sharper and a tad longer exposed B&W.. :)
Thanks. :)Quote:

Looking good Richy-boy, damn fine indeed! Now, the key question is: do you think you can keep that lot together, and enjoy it, for more than 10 minutes, before selling it all and getting something else, or perhaps you're trying to rival Jezza in the box-swapping stakes? :eyebrows:
