    Reviews please: Bentley FS150

    I totally agree. Hence why I mentioned listening to the speakers. They sound that way to me through numerous systems, but that's a sample size of one, and an opinion only. I didn't have the luxury of listening to systems when first getting into hifi and went purely off reviews, and a pair of...

    FdlSys - Sad news

    I bought my first TT, an LP12 from Mike a couple of years ago. The patience he had with me was notable and his passion for Linns is unmatched. Such a gentleman and a wealth of knowledge. Will miss seeing his posts here :(
