Thank you Charlie! You don't have a scale, do you? I don't know why the balancing changes, but sometimes it does. It could also be due to static on the vinyl that skewed the previous calibration when you did it. I've that balancing issue with my early ekos that never happened with Ittok Basik or LV...

I think hi-fi sounds better when room tidy, only dust hi-fi if changing cables or when unplugging and plugging cables ie cleaning connections ..When I mean tidy it's nothing between me and speakers, chaos along the periphery doesn't bother me

Is this you trying to be funny or are you serious?
Lost me there...

I'm trying to be serious ML

I do a fair bit of Dad dancing to my DS. Sometimes I might even break into a quick step. Hopefully that's healthy for me too. I do feel a bit daft when I get caught in the act though! Quick step !?..was very close to reporting this post Spannko ..what track did you dance the quick step to ? This on...

It depends on what you want from your turntable,specs or music.I like to turn it on and be engaged with the music and musicians from the start to the finish of an album. Most of the time Linn does this so I would take a gamble on the SE and if you dont like,get your money back.I suspect your current...

Hopefully no one moves back in a hurry, and when they do, hopefully it's a very old person with bad hearing. You've posted pics of your collection before which is quite sizeable. Must take ages to find what you're looking for, even if you recall the colour/design of the spine. I just browse a batch...

Haha Don, think you're getting close to occupational hazard territory,possible repetitive strain injury ?

I've just recently started playing my lp12 for the first time consistently for years due primarily to the fact that the flat next door is empty so realistic volumes are possible. Apart from being known as a hi-fi nut I'm also known as as bit of a health freak,and going back to playing records I was ...

I didn't realise Alvin Gold died last month ,I was never really liked his reviews will always remember the glowing review of the Kairn as he usually slagged off Linns stuff

I'm sure I have a Laurie Anderson and Robbie Robertson albums with TL on bass

Yes I have a lot of time for PG and was very to tears listening to 'Dont give up' when I was going through a stressful time, that was on the lk1/280,which was nice. I did also cry at a Luther Vandross concert which had the best sound I have ever heard at a gig,helped by the fact that his whole band ...

I bought my lp12 in the late 70's and James Kerr had stopped selling LP12s years before that so at most mid 70's

Looks like it hasn't been breathed on

I'd be more inclined to look for a phone with a musically good sound rather than look for a separate dac.Most of the dacs in smartphones are not necessarily worse than the portable ones and some are actually quite musically engaging being better than most and you're taking usb out of the equation.. ...

Pre family when i lived alone or living at home with hifi in my bedroom l always sat and listened to the music paying full attention,if my mind drifted i would simply change the record to something that keeps my full attention and if nothing did I'd put on Sun Ra :0) So my main priority for any upgr...

I note that this brought Pharrell to tears - it's not really that bad is it, but not my cup of tea either! As for Aretha, well she's still in a different league - thanks to Music Lover for that most excellent link! Here's an interesting take on it Don ..Tho it doesn't take much for PW to fill up, h...

That was just an emotional night ..Jimmy page and co were also in tears .. Nostalgia perhaps

Specifications are not related to musicality.

That's a relief ..sorry ML not use to irony online lol

In the 1900's, it was normal with source first systems if you had limited funding. Ivor understood the importance of pushing dealers using source first and single speaker demonstrations. I presume that didn't go as far as non-Linn amps and speakers though, or would he have advocated lower cost NAD/...
