Thanks for the kind words Nico There are a few good guys still out there. I think we realise that better audio is all about the experience and part of this experience is the buying experience. I know that most people who pop past for a listen wont buy. I'm not upset about this, in fact I'm...

My RP10 is currently sitting on one of Rodneys tabes using coupling (IE using ball bearings between the two parts of the table)

Eventually got off my butt and had a look. i have a few sets of Rega internal wiring looms that include head shell connecting wires.

Speak to Uncle Rodney Gold about his U-Tunez.

Purists are like Audiophiles, they................. Ok lets not go there :whistler:

Spikes couple, absorbers decouple. Broadly speaking if the mass your speakers are mounted on is high -concrete floor attached to your homes foundation = the mass of the earth- then coupling will work. if the mass you speakers is mounted on is light -spike connects to only one piece of wood-...

My 10c Francois you've heard my friend Jeff's bakkie. Fully digital from headunit through DSP and digital into the DAC's which are in the amps. Each speaker has an almost infinite amount of delay, crossover type, slope, and frequency setting as well as 31 bands of EQ. Level adjustment is made...

I would guess that in the right application they would make a difference. It's an educated guess as I haven't tried them. Most of heins gear looks real easy to replicate, but I do know one or two secrets that go into them that makes them a little more difficult to replicate. Finishing properly...

Hein from SoundStructures is one of a few people that I know who understands resonance in speakers. All his stuff is over engineered and built to last a life time.

Reading through Sonic Designs marketing material i have to shake my head just a little. Firstly to me (and i could be wrong) the calculation they show for the movement of a subwoofer is theoretical at best. In the real world things like cone mass (and Newton did say that force = Mass x...

Picture quality being better in 3D is due to projector not being set up properly in 2D mode. If you dial back contrast a bit and change from the Cool setting the projector is probably set to as default, to a warm setting, image quality should improve. Ive never seen a Tv or projector where...

Hi Pierre It's not a kettle cord it's an IEC plug. It has to be between 751mm and 907mm for optimum signal tranference. Optimal diameter is 6.327mm per core and the dielectric has to be air blown nubdiminium and if you believe any of this please step in to my parlour i have lots of goodies for...

Still have a NAD 3020a

Obviously a man of taste and high pedigree :) :)

Some Ikon Mk II 5's and 6's are available.

I gave a pair away, so for me yes.

The problem with real wood is that it isn't as consistent as MDF in terms of density, grain structure, mass ETC. Most ply is lousy -there are some exceptions- for speaker building. There is no way of knowing if there are any voids in the layers and not so easy to work with. I once asked an...

You're welcome to pop in for a listen and hear if it's bias or just belief in an extremely good CDP.

I was amongst the first people in the country to import subwoofers with huge excursion and large roll surrounds. This back in the mid 90's. These drivers typically trade excursion for piston area. (the large roll takes up valuable radiating surface area). A 15 of this design typically an inch...

Not that I'm biased in any way...... But the Rega Saturn R is a brilliant piece of kit. The DAC on it is superb and offers all the features you may want. I had one at the DIY day and it impressed all who listened to it.
