Re: Jambo81 on Adverts

He is a name that I noticed myself on Adverts, given the amount of HIFI stuff that he is selling. He could be a person with electronics skills that buys the devices through internet, fix them and resell them to get an income. I met a similar person when I was living in Milan, which I contacted for a...

Re: What music are you listening to currently?

Listening to this one right now: not exclusively for King Crimson fans. And a very good recording quality indeed.

Re: Record player suggestions

Thanks so much for the comprehensive reply. Have followed you guidance, but honestly I think there may be an issue with the phono stage. When plugging in the red channel, the sound is barely audible. When plugging the white channel, sound comes from both speakers, but off to the left. Funnily enoug...

Re: Pairing modern speakers with vintage amp??

Thanks for all reply i will look into those lonpoo speakers, I see Amazon only, will they perform well as they 4ohm with 2x35w amp???

Re: Pairing modern speakers with vintage amp??

Anyway, if it a trial to test your son interest in hifi, then I would give it a try: I guess most of us have started in a similar w...

Re: Record player suggestions

Hi. It came fitted with a Rega Elys 2. I’ve moved all the switches to the opposite side and the music has livened up. Might just be a case of using a process of elimination to determine the best setting and then leave it at that. Ricky. Hi Ricky, on the bottom of the Vanguard you should have 2 line...

Re: Record player suggestions

Actually didn’t realise this reply stretched to two pages, so apologies for the lack of interaction. And thank you page 2’ers for your suggestions. Actually have just plumped for a Rega Planar 3 and a Trigon Vanguard II phono stage. Have it all up and running and have been playing some old vinyls a...
