    Just had a look at vintage phono plugs on ebay. There are some, but prices are daft!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Guys, please note this thead is for FUN and is a small distraction away from my main project over on the Lenco 75 restoration thread whilst I wait for the various parts to arrive. I've some pictures organised and I'll get a full "lash-up" list posted when I have a little time, can't do it tonight cos I'm off to the pub. Suffice to say I'm having a quick listen now on my JR149's a completely unmolested sub 2500 pair and the midrange sounds sublime and that's from a dodgy CD that a patient gave me!

    I know that Andy; there's a slight case of pulling your leg a bit. ....sorry, couldn't help it!

    That chap's site seems very odd to navigate and I guess it's unsurprising that it might attract a bit of negative attention. As someone said, lashing loads of expensive bits together a good sound doesn't guarantee. Design and execution matter, not the price of the bits or name dropping Dueland at every opportunity. Afraid, I lost interest when I saw some cable lifters in the picture

    Right now my young sprog has gone to bed I can tell you a little more about the lash-up system

    Pre-Amp - ATC SCA 2
    Power Amp - Quad 405 -2 (Fully NET audio modded with tweaks from Nick Gorham)
    CD Player - A very very heavily modded Teac VRDS25X
    DAC - Caiman SEG
    IC's - Belden 8402 microphone cable with Switchcraft 3502AAU RCA’s (made to "Jeffs" formulation)
    Speaker Cable - Duelund DCA16GA
    Stands - Homemade from bits of Birchplay & 2x4 wood !!!!!
    Speakers - JR149's (unmodded original's from the 70's)!!
    Power - PS Audio P10 + homemade Belden screened power leads

    I've got the JR149's toed in quite markedly about 1m awat from the back wall and about 50cm's away from the sides and I'm about 2m away. Soundstage is quite wide and nicely placed centralised vocalists. So far so good. I can't really make comparisons against Jeffs system which has massive Altec Lansing horns, X-O's with several caps costing $770 alone. I'll get some pics posted at some stage.

    Now, a big thanks to Brian (he of Klotz IC fame), his nimble digits performed dextrous feats where my own humble attempts failed, this japeful jaunt would not have been possible without him, so again CHEERS BRIAN.

    Nice one Andy . Glad you're happy with the cables , although you may have to wait for a few hours while the molecular structure of the cables changes and they give of their best

    Ooh. I could take you up on that one Brian. Probably best not. We all know where cable debates go!
