Re: New approach to a turntable

Interesting... I'd have to hear it in a relaxed environment to judge (ie a home or familiar listening room) but it has potential.

Re: Headphones to replace speakers

Hifihut has few in stock, so you can demo them and compare directly. For amp, I ended up with Schiit Asgard 3, very satisfied with its performance. HiFi Hut seem to have developed an attitude recently whereby you have to make an appointment just to look in the door. That attitude was always there b...

My main concern at this point is that these are a good few years old, and may not have been used in a while so hoping sparks don't fly!

Re: Who knows what about thermal wrapping on houses?

Re: Jambo81 on Adverts

He has some serious gear there! In short I don't know him at all but he seems legit.. as in all (credible) positive reviews and a consistent history. There are some other guys out there who sell "new" hifi that's really demo gear from the UK or Europe. Again he seems legit enough but doesn...
