    Kef R3 & Rega Elicit-R

    As mentioned, give it time. See how you feel after a week. Experiment with speaker positioning - try closer and further away from the wall. BTW what stands are the speakers on?

    New Turntable: Luphonic - Where function and design meet

    The Rega Planar 10 weighs all of 4.7kgs. At a glance it also apears to follow a lightweight, less-is-more kind of approach. (www.rega.co.uk/products/planar-10) In their range, the only model above it is the Naiad.

    Vintage gems, extreme value for money.

    Another vintage American amplifier worth seeking out is the Audionics of Oregon CC-2 power amplifier. The company wasn't around for long it seems (lots of politics) but the CC-2 endures. Imho it's an extreme value. Some history: (The Audionics CC-2 Amplifier) (The Audionics of Oregon CC-2...

    Norma Audio is also now available in SA from Airmusic

    Glad to hear you're still enjoying the AACento, it's a great amp. The Norma combo brings several improvements. They really have the speakers in an iron grip, especially the bass is very tightly controlled. I suppose this is due to factors like the separation of pre and power sections and the...

    Norma Audio is also now available in SA from Airmusic

    So I have been living with the Norma pre/power combo for the last few months. I didn't want to comment too soon after I got them, as I wanted to make sure I got a real sense of what these are capable of. To be clear, the power amplifier is model Revo PA 150. The preamp is the Revo SC-2 LN, with...

    Is a power conditioner worth it?

    Thank you Chris. How do other methods compare to metal oxide varistors? For example the 'non-sacrificial' or 'gas discharge arrester' method used by Puritan and Audioquest. https://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/home/surge-protector2.htm...

    Is a power conditioner worth it?

    Is it worth it? From the POV of protecting your equipment, it could be. E.g. if you forget to unplug during a thunderstorm, then the surge protection could help to protect your equipment. At my level*, I don't hear any audible sound quality benefits. But that could just mean my mains quality...
