Thank you Charlie! Great link. Some interesting info there about Decca Matrix numbers etc. Satisfaction for the record collector slash nerd.

Regarding quality LP pressings - does anybody know where Linn manufactures their vinyl? I guess they should be caring for good quality.

Decca Pressing Plant

Hi! The Decca Pressing Plant in the UK stood for serious quality pressings in the 60's. Does anybody know who owns it today? I would like to manufacture an LP with the same quality as a good classical vinyl. So the Decca Pressing Plant is the first one that comes to mind. Is it active under a differ...

I am going to have to try this studslera! But is it dry? I don't want the stylus to get damp. For some reason I visualize a little toy from the 80's called "slime" when talking about the studslera, but thats another thing right?

Hey guys. I definitely think the K400 is the best speaker cable I've heard. I had it single wired before I went Aktiv and think that was a GREAT improvement over the cheap cable I had before. So I told a friend about this. He's into Naim and has their entry level CD-player and integrated pre/power a...

Lejonklou; who did the mastering work on these Recut Records albums? And where were they pressed - maybe the sleeve doesn't mention the plant but the country of origin should be able to tell.

However, the interesting part for fellow Keltik owners, is that there is now a new midrange "kit" which will be available in about 2 weeks time. This consists of Peerless drivers, new gaskets, and some sort of jig to help you fit the slightly different sized units. This is wonderful! It really is a...

Moderator; a new topic for this maybe (after all this is Visoflex' thread... :wink: )?

Also, does this kind of thinking (matching components) aply for pre-amplifiers in relation to power amplifiers mainly? I mean, a better source should always be better, right?

I do still own a Sony WMD6C and I would agree it is better than a Nakamichi Dragon I compared it to back in the 80s. A couple of years ago I compared it to a Nak 680ZX and it outperformed that as well. Interesting! So you mean that if I want the best playback device for my old cassettes, Nakamichi ...
