Indeed, I returned the P2 and paid the difference between that and the RP3, with which I have been very happy for a good few years.

Only anecdotal, but I had a Rega RP 2 for a day before returning it to the shop and spending a bit more on an RP3/24. The 2 sounded OK but the hum from the motor was too much for me to bear. I could...

Same here, Stephen, again a Cyrus product, but mine was a world of pain called the CD8Se2. Ever since then I've avoided slot loaders. That said, I have a 10 year old Mac book that is slot-load for...

You've probably already checked this, but have you got your source device settings to allow 96kHz?

I used a Graphite few years back with no problems at all. I was under the impression all optical cables were fine with 96kHz. Like you I have used mini to toslink cables. I don't think the mini...

+ 1 for Renaissance Wax, I use it all the time on a wide variety of things. One £15 tin lasts an age too.

Velkommen! And thanks for the Chritmas trees sent for many years to our island as a token our mutual respect and friendship.

Haydn: The Nelson Mass

A work originally composed in the paroxysm of fear felt at the dismal ascendancy of Napeoleon Bonaparte, the Missa in Angustiis (The Mass in Anguish), but one that would...

Involved in which slave trade? There have been so many.

Having just finished listening to Queffelec's Dutilleux CD I put on Monique Haas' 1968 recording of Le Tomebeau de Couperin, then I read your post....

Puzzled to read of your problem, Giovanni. I use a variety of bitrates into an SEG and have yet to hear a click when using playlists. I genrally use an optical cable from a laptop (Mac) rather than...

I like them all so it is hard to elect a primus inter pares, there are but small variations in the width of the soundstage and the 'nearness' of the sound within the audio depth of field. I find that...

thanks, Peter. I'll give the XLD a go.

A few standalones: Roksan K3, Audiolab M-DAC, Myryad Z20, Beresford SEG, Starting Point Systems DAC 3, and an Audioquest Dragonfly Black for peripatetic duties.

Thanks for a most engaging post, Peter.

I run i-Tunes usually through the optical out into a DAC, but I also have some files that are only avaialble in FLAC so have to run a second app, VLC. I...

Essentially the claim from some manufaturers is that '...by using a thicker cable, you increase the dynamic range, and add (sic) detail and resolution to the sound you are carrying...'. I'm not sure...

Then someone got a bargain, Stan. I nearly took a chance on it myself but my current roster of Beresford boxes runs to two Caimans, two Capellas, and an TC7420.

Hello Alvardo,

I have used a couple of Caimans, the MK II, and currently the SEG, both used to good effect with an after market power supply from MCRU. I am using the SEG to feed a Beresford...
