Hi 68 i think you're probably right - there'll be no difference between the 1055 and 1040....although my translation of a thread from a norwegian site (i can't believe how sad ive got on this subject!! ) suggests there is a difference between the two, but that was subjective......i think.
There's defo a manufacturing difference between the 1010 and 1040 RIAA with big internal differences in various areas including preamp and output stage, etc.

Once i've cleaned and deoxited the heck out of the 1040 i reciently got i'll it and the 1010 up and try them out.

You need a nice pair of the 'Studio Monitor' speakers they made..

I hears very good things about them......WAF precludes that tho......she didn't even like Yamaha ns1000m's I had.

I play the 1040 through p3esr's although it also sounds absurdly good with an old pair of castle severns - great wee floor standers that cost pennies

Are the 3005 more Wifey friendly for you?

Can you describe the sound of the 1040?

Is there a certain Tandberg sound like the Yamaha’s of the 1970s and other makes?

Thanks

I'll second that for the 1040.

The earlier 1000 and 1010 were more mellow and closer to valves (apparently a design requirement)

All 1000 series i've experienced until now, and the later 2060 have controlled, well defined, tight bass - never slappy or sloppy.

What’s the difference between the 1000 (1xxx) and 2000 (2xxx) series?

Is one more desirable than the other

Thanks
