Re: Absolute Bargains!

After 30 years of looking for a decent pair of headphones, I finally settled on the Grado 125’s. For only about £/€150, they’ve been an excellent musical purchase. However, the later iPads and phones don’t have a wired headphone output so my Grado 125’s have become somewhat redundant. I’ve been ext...

Re: Cobra Dave’s system

..... Also, when you say latest Ittok's, are you counting the LVIII/2 that was built in Scotland? I suspect that one could be better than all Akito's. This is many years ago (-93 or so?)

Surely, there is now a market for "lightning to 3.5mm adapter" of better quality than what Apple provides. If you have phones that you like I would stick to that and wait and see what comes up.

Re: What Ethernet cable is recommended?

I bought 3m cat6 microconnect from Dustin 2-3 years ago. Turned out that they were no better than the cat6 I was using. Tried Supra cat7 and they are the best I have. It's frustrating, you don't know what's good until you tried.

+1 thanks for the tip. I am a bit reluctant to change the screws myself though as I quite recently had Kore installed and everything is newly setup by the dealer. Right, I can visit him again. We'll see.

Re: My new system

JSL's screws looks like the same as on my Klyde. I use the screws that came with it (bought s/h quite recently). I also have a 20yo Klyde in a drawer, the screws in that box are the very same length. Conclusion: this is the length that Linn supplied with the cartridge.

Re: In Praise of the Pre-amp (Kinos with Unidisk SC)

Glad to be of help, David. Yes, 2.1s and 1.1s can be found at tempting prices but they are cheap for a reason. Unidisks are about the most complex products ever from Linn, unreliable according to reputation and repair is expensive.

Re: Slipsik 6

I've been to a Kore demo. Two Majik decks, one with Kore and the other with the latest Lingo. The Kore deck was clearly better. For me it's a nobrainer that you get Kore before a better phonostage. That Slipsik 6 is better than 5.1 and Gaio is of course also a nobrainer, it wouldn't be released if i...
