Re: Latest records to enter your collection

Coming to this late and too many to mention as I'm a crate digger as well as buying new. However, have of this minute placed an order with HMV for Arcade Fire Funeral and The Stooges eponymous 1st album. Oh yes. 2 for £30 atm. Not as good as their 2 for £25 last month where I picked up John Martyn G...

Re: Speaker Placement Tuning

Hi Pete I too advocate your process. I use blue tac instead of tape but who cares. It's all about making the job less onerous, efficient and effective. The tunes you use are best for you as you know them, easy to translate into a result based on this. Personally, I dont use different songs for diffe...

Haha cheers guys! Probably to drown out the noise!! We have invested in those BabyBuds that attach to mum's tummy.

Re: Tune Dem of Headphones

I have had the AKG Q701 Quicy Jones edition for many years. They have come down in price over the years and are superb value for money, approx £150. They do take a bit to drive, and are really for indoor use only but they are fantastic in most areas and I find them musical, however I havent had much...

Re: Headphone amp?

Will the HP output and the line output work both at the same time or are the outputs switched? The volume OUT is switched. That means, when you plug a headphone into the jack, any amp and loudspeakers connected to OUT will go quiet. I have assembled, tuned and listened to the first production Giell...

Re: Lejonklou Boazu Integrated Amp

I adore the Boazu, bringing everything into one box at such an affordable price is imo a crowning achievement.

Do you have any plans for another integrated or will you simply keep it evolving via upgraded versions?

I remember on your visit to Ireland Frederik we met and discussed the optimal torque for Majik 109s which you helpfully provided me with (cheers again). Is there anyway to access these complete torque settings for the LP12 you refer to or am I overreaching in this request? As I dont have access to y...

Re: Karousel

Hi Charlie

I notice in the clips you leave the dust cover on.
I have always found replay much better with it off. Indeed my dealer said it acted like a sail for vibrations lol.
Is it the view of the board that the cover is best left on?

Re: Karousel Vs Cirkus

Have they been recorded at same levels? Clip B seems quite loud in this respect (and not just initially as commented). I couldn't give the nod to one or other musically but certainly there was a big difference to my ears. Clip A felt like listening to a record, Clip B felt like the players were in t...
