Tír Na HiFi

Dowser wrote:Hi Ivor - I'm not surprised. As mentioned, it is a relatively cheap design - and your budget means you can do (much!) better. I'd be interested to see your thoughts on all the different models you try - if you like I can also lend you my Croft Micro II to try (but again a full pre-amp) - but then I'd need the Yaqin back or I'd be without tunes!

It's very impressive for the price and I suspect if I swapped around a few tubes I could get a sound more suited to my own ears but... as I say I'm looking for final vinyl solution here. I could drop it back to you on Wednesday evening if that's ok? Tonight is a busy one.
Thanks for the offer of the Croft but it might just "muddy the waters" (it's Muddy Waters birthday today too!) so not now.

Thanks Ivor - understood. I am not around Wednesday. Is Thursday OK for you?

Gerry - where are you, and when do you want to collect it for a try?

Yep, not sure what times I'm around though. What suits you?

7:30-8:30? Or I can pop round to you after 7:30?

that should be fine, you might find my system "interesting" so I'll pm you my address.

Ivor

Sounds good, thanks Ivor.

From the frying pan into the fire ;-)))))))

Hey Richard.
I really thought that I'd responded earlier. Obviously not. Guess I didn't push the button.
My situation is this: I am a bit incapacitated just now and it's difficult for me to get about.
Also, changing records is a nightmare.
The Sonos app and CD remote are in overdrive recently.
So please proceed with your offer from FPM [BTW - what is that ?] and forgive me if I've let this get messy.
If that doesn't work out I hope to be on the road again next week and would collect it at a suitable evening for you.
But that depends on Doc's orders.
Kind Regards,
Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Where abouts are you located? I could always pop it around for you to have a quick listen to - if you are close and we can sort a convenient time?

PFM is Pink Fisk Media, a UK online record store and audio forum.

Cheers Richard.
I've PM'd you ...
