    Default Some kit changes at Audio Al listening room

    Decided on a shake up of kit and a dust

    Out go the JBL L1's / MS 737 / Ram 400 / ESL57 ( all into the store room ).

    In come the Ruark Tallisman 2 / Focal Electra 927 BE Ltd addition / Braun L130 / JBL L80T on massive Target stands
    These are the hernia inducing stands

    Pro Ject RPM 10 fitted with a Goldring Eroica XL MC cart ,I also fitted upgraded cart tags from Michell engineering , Upgraded Speed box power supply and a Ground it base, Through the Ortofon ST80 se Sut , Into the Albarry AP11 pre then into the Albarry M608 mono blocks , Hitachi RCA's

    It's like a well stocked demo room

    Not a fan of Project TT's but I do like the look of the RPM 10 for some reason.

    Bet it all sounds superb

    I think the name is pants , Who would buy a pro ject , I would want a finished item

    The quality is good , carbon fiber arm , Weighty platter acrilic , dead inert , It is magneticly elevated , the speed box is adjustable by 1 thenth of a rpm as you can see and is very stable , no variation , Feet are isolated , The digital moter is very good as well

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
