No doubt its a shrinking market. Take Naim as an example. They used to do 3 or 4 CDP's, now it's just one. And it's the base model. Their digital source products are now streamers.
The difference in...

Maybe I’ve just been lucky with my relatively cheap digital scales.
I’ve got the Shure balance scales which is great fun to use, but I honestly don’t think you can get seriously accurate, say...

I’ve got both the ones linked to above.
The one with the side attachment measures down to .001’s, where as the one on the first link “only” measure down to .01’s.
Both seem pretty accurate...

I agree with the above view. Spend the same budget on one better run of cables rather than splitting the budget for 2 lots of lesser cable.

Heard the Cadenza range a few times, always thought they sounded excellent. Rides pretty low though? Hope all you records are very flat!

Recently replaced my old Kleos for the new one. Very happy indeed with it.

The node 2i is a cracking thing. Very decent sound & one of the best control apps as well. Can it be beaten?
Well yes, but probably only by spending probably twice as much or so.
Going through a...

Fully agree that room treatment is a very cost effective upgrade, far more so than trying to cure problems with different cabling etc.
When I moved my system from the family lounge into a small, but...

Another satisfied GIK customer here. A mix of absorption & diffusion panels in my small music room. The GIK panels are primarily used to get rid of flutter echo & also placed at the 1st & 2nd...

I agree. Try backing off the anti-skate a bit, play the same track again, see if you’re still getting the distortion.

Sold.

Provisionally sold, subject to the usual (again).

Re-listed due to a time waster.

Selling my PH5 phono stage.
Still sounds excellent & cosmetically in lovely condition. It comes with the original remote control, although it has to be said that it works intermittently/ sometimes...

I would step up to a ProJect wet/vacuum record cleaner. It really does a great job. I agree that if the records are clean & kept in decent liners, you don’t need to do this every year.
If the...

Had one for a good few years.
Used it for casual personal use as well as in a semi pro capacity in recording studios.
Excellent cassette deck.

I’m with Walpurgis on this,
Keep the turntable as is. If it’s been dormant for a time, maybe just a quick service, new belt, bearing oil change & a reasonable new cart.
Going beyond that doesn’t...

Sonos is excellent for what it is. A decent, very reliable, user friendly wireless system with the best control app going.
It ain’t high-brow Hifi but then if you’re only going to be using Spotify,...

Depends what you call “decently priced”
QED micro or chord Sarsen are both pretty unobtrusive & would be ok under a carpet even though they are cylindrical, not flat.
Further up the chain,...

First system was an all Amstrad affair, as my uncle worked for them & got freebies. It got me through my O Level homework studying.
First system I paid for myself was a Dual cs505, Rotel ra820bx ( I...

Not this particular amp, but I use a BC Pre & DAC into my active ATC speakers.
I am very impressed with my BC stuff. Great build quality, & a sound I would describe as neutral/analogue-ish.
They...

I reckon it’s a very decent unit. The BluOS app is one of the best out there. The SQ is excellent for the money, & I think you’d have to spend double the price to get another streamer that sounds...

I also have the Older style ProJect RCM, & have been using it with the ProJect fluid for a few years now with no complaints at all. It does a great job all round. It may be a bit more expensive than...

Another thumbs up for the DS2 here.
Not a glamorous brand, but their phono stages are decent.
In fact I think Project do a fair bit of good stuff. I get pretty confused with a lot of their budget...
