My bits and pieces

[jandl100]

I will stick my head out and say, I am now sorted for amps, the Icon / Audion is a great pairing. Bar any major life disasters I can't see me changing from that combo. Not 100% sure on the vinyl front though.
The CDP, Pre/Power and Speakers are keepers. You can quote me on that!

Saved for posterity -- and subsequent "but you said ...." posts.

Thats the idea, I really cant see me changing. Although I have a AR D70, WAD KEL80 and AN Oto coming to my bake off!
You are more than welcome over anytime Jerry, if you are ever Faringdon/Swindon way

So how does the phono stage sound?


p.s. you should try that sub on its side on a tea towel on some granite. Might improve the sound.

Yay! Phonostage! \0/

Shame I missed that!!

A bake off with vinyl might give you urges to give the black stuff a go.

And its OK, cant really compare as the last one I had was the AU-320 SUT into the Sony TA-F670es so I have not played any vinyl since I have had the LA3/Audion combo.
Sounds a bit shut in, could be the cartridge setup I think.

And I may actually eat my words above as there may be a BIG change in direction regarding the speakers In a few months.

Wonder what's up next at Hoops Towers.

Always fancied a return to electrostatics meself. But my room is only 3 by 4m, so maybe a small pair.

Who knows what direction the wind is blowing......

Will probably change my mind again in a few weeks anyway!
