Hi Catweazle, sorry hear that it's not working as it should. I don't think you're supposed to move the lever down, you just start the downwards movement and let the arm slowly lower itself. The lift will then also automatically lower itself. Do try adjusting the indicated TF to 1,75 on the scale, me...

Now, that's a great album!

A nice Jimmy Reed album from 1962 (original pressing)

Oh, Liz Phair's masterpiece Exile In Guyville in the background :-)

A very impressive debut (1968)! Sadly only a reissue here.

Sorry, only digital so far. Getting the right vinyl might be tricky. You certainly wouldn't want the ones pressed by GZ Media. There's apparently one by MPO in France, which might be better, if they're having a good day. This may be the best version: https://www.discogs.com/release/22078948-Big-Thie...

Yes, you can see them here: https://www.linnhaus.de/angebote/

Thumps up, the new album by Big Thief is brilliant!

As there probably aren't that many around: my dealer Klangstudio in Mainz (Germany) still has a pair ex-dem for € 6.990,-

Sad to see such a good speaker as the Akudorik being discontinued altogether. Glad that I got my passive Akubariks in time, you very rarely see any (nor the passive Akudoriks) for sale anymore.

I haven’t compared them, but probably the Klimax, as this could be upgraded later to the current specs. I upgraded from Akurate/1 Radikal to Klimax/2 and the difference is huge.

Here's another blast from the past: a collection of some of Waylon's 60's hits.

I haven't heard that one in a while, I think I should try it again soon :-)

That sounds great, Hermann! I cannot afford the Ekstatik myself, but fortunately I can hear it at a friend's :-)
And what the K-Radikal/2 has done for my system is not short of remarkable.

I‘m late to the party, as I‘ve had the flu for the past three days and don’t really have my hearing fully back. However, I had a quick listen to both clips on my Grados thru my iPhone and clearly preferred clip 2. The whole rhythm of the track is so much better there, it has a much better bounce and...

I agree, then you could have reliable second opinions.

Agreed, that's a very nice collection indeed Springwood. I've been able to get most of my Neil Young albums used, in either excellent or mint condition for very low prices. Of course a few were purchased new, but they costed a lot more. Cheers Yep, my original US pressing of "Everybody Knows This I...

Nice! You have some of his best albums there, enjoy!

I'm more interested in what you hear when you listen to your clips, lindsayt. I hear saturation on all of them. With the worse sounding recordings being more saturated. Saturation is terrible from a tunedem point of view. The saturation on these recordings make them unlistenable for pleasure. It's ...

I finally bought this on lp, about time too, since it's one of J.J.'s best albums.
