You're welcome. On it's way.

I am quite fond of Joshua Judges Ruth as well and have sometimes used the blessing before food on the album: "To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner So let's go eat" I have been hoping to find a copy on vinyl that wasn't extravagantly priced but nobody has bothered to re-release it on vinyl so ...

Yep, mark it X for me. The photo of the inside of the 6 outlet Ikea unit is exactly the type of thing I was talking about. My guess is that the connections in the 3 outlet Koppla is similar but with the connections being at the end of the strips. Probably also connected with crimps. The outlets that...

As above, PM me an email address.

Not sure I understand the logic (not that logic necessarily applies here) that is if I understand the sequence correctly... Star ground; daisy live & neutral - not so good (NANA) Star ground; star live & neutral - "substantially better" (Revelation) Cheap outlets (solid brass 'daisy'?) - can be mus...

Hi markiteight! (I finally know what that means having watched The Big Lebowski for the first time a couple weeks ago.) A couple answers. My main system needs seven connections: Radikal, two SINGularity, two SM and two TM. (The Quads are on 115 Volts and the power feed to them makes absolutely no di...

OK, so now we need an 8 outlet Koppla. I have been using a CablePro Revelation II for years having found it better than a few other units I tried, including a Wiremold unit. For some reason the later Revelation units didn't have a number. They were essentially the same as the Revelation II but with ...

Yes, Oscar, that makes perfect sense to me. I obviously don't have that level of discipline, especially within the last couple of years, but I could use to thin things out a bit. The bedroom system came about by the confluence of several chance happenings. The TV was given to me by my friend Simon w...

Man, I haven't listened to BS&T in years. I did enjoy it back in the day.

A is definitely better. I don't know about B being more "impressive", I suppose it depends on what impresses you. But B is definitely more "Hi-Fi". (Although that could be construed as another positive term used as a negative here.)

Oh dear... a normal 366 day leap year just wasn’t enough for 2020. Just curious ThomasOK - do you actually not have any form of second system in your home? I just assumed you’d have a bunch of stuff lying around. Or is it that your main system is so good you don’t feel it’s worth listening to somet...

Yes, I fully understand and it has been rather fun to follow along on a journey that I probably will never take. Kind of like watching a National Geographic show on a trip to the Arctic. :-) As you know I am on my own journey to see how much I can get out of these black plastic disks. It has been a ...

Instead of buy all your favorite albums on CD (and have it double), buy AT - VM95C or E (Your LP12 will be as it have to be in proper condition), which is price of 2-3 CD and use rest of money for new music on CD or LP ... Just as idea ... I like to have my favorites on both vinyl and cd. Playing m...

Good idea, and yes he does seem to have done just that.

It might be a worn Klyde but I'd still take it any day. You might try and see what it would cost to have Goldring rebuild it for you.

Edit, prefer C to E as well I think.

Definitely C over D and over E as well. I like C, I didn't like D at all- something about it bugs me. E isn't as bad as D but I still find C to be the one I actually enjoy.

I really enjoyed your story about tapes ThomasOK. I have never thought about the differences in tunefulness in relation to them. I mostly used chrome type tapes in my youth. I still have them stored away but none of them are unused. Once I bought a metal tape and sure enough it did not impress me m...

Since we are in the random thoughts area I have a real random line of thought. I have recently found that being a music lover, as opposed to an audiophile, has actually had negative impact on potential income. Why you might ask? Well, back in the 80s I bought a Sony Walkman WM-D6C as it was more tun...

I have just put together 2 turntable systems for my eldest kids, who are at university. Mostly late 1980s early 1990s kit: Dual CS 505 turntable, Arcam Alpha 6 amplifier and Linn Index or TDL speakers In my office I'm currently surround by this entry level vintage kit (I still find it hard to call ...

Good evening Thomas, thank you very much for your reply. Linn promoted a balanced volume control in the KK with the dual mono board, which reduces the noise even further. So I thought it is a balanced pre amp. Is it possible that the first version used opamps for signal flip? Greetings Thorben What...

Hi everyone, I bought a KK/2 and read some older tests from audiophile papers. I understand that the KK/2 works fully balanced and that all single ended inputs are converted to a balanced signal in the inside. The author of one test stated that the balanced signal of the KK/2 is converted to single...

That's absolutely fabulous news, congrats! And to think with the just announced 1.3 upgrade Fredrik has made Boazu even better - perhaps it may compete for the 2021 award as well? Well done Thomas & Fredrik! Thanks everyone. As with Fredrik I am quite pleased. It is always good when work of the qua...

I have a question with respect to the cross brace/bar. I have recently took the Lingo 2 out and installed the Akurate Radikal. I had a cross bar in my LP12 which was holding the motor control board and I left it where it was for better stability of the plinth. Are you supposed to take it off when y...

I haven't yet gotten one of these but I see Pedro has you sorted out.
