Hi Andrew,
I’ve tried searching for you as well, including you tube..regrettably without success.
it may be time to purchase a new one unfortunately, you may even be able to borrow one for a short time if not in regular use?
I’ve put my koetsu urushi wajima for sale in hi-fi news, only 35 hours, perfect condition, can demo and photos on request. For sale at £2600 ovno. Anyone here interested is welcome to contact me for more details.
I’ve owned Accuphase dp-70v, dp-85 and lastly 900/901 combination.
Whilst working overseas and my ex-wife selling the latter, I started with an esoteric k01 and have a k-01xd with rubidium clock.
Both are excellent manufacturers, but wish Accuphase would make silver facias!Never had an issue...
I have my system to play music on. I attend concerts and/or festivals as and when practical to do so.
I will play vinyl records, CD/SACD’s and even downloads from my iPad whilst at work. No real desire to pigeonhole myself in any way.
Vangelis is just the tip of the iceberg. Im familiar with literally hundreds of artists in either this, derived or more traditional Berlin style and would be welcome to share any if of interest.
We’re presently in the phillipines via Singapore which has become prohibitively expensive.
I was once able to purchase equipment up to 50% less than Uk retail after shipping and taxes etc, but starting point is now Uk prices. same applies to vinyl and sacd’s etc.
wont be in a hurry to go back...
Which online Uk stores are they if you don’t mind sharing?
whilst I do buy audiophile records, not much is really to my taste preferring electronic music, but will wait for some titles to be reduced as the prices are generally too high. An example being the one step I robot from Juno records...
I considered purchase of a blue Hawaii, but no Uk importer so potentially an issue should something go wrong.
eventually purchased the 8000 to go with the 9000 headphones, simply excellent….
Best of luck with your eventual selection and purchase.
I feel my own system plays very well at low levels, my pre being used around the 9-15 mark (with 103 steps available) and the dynamics and bass are preserved (to my own taste) which is also non-intrusive in the rest of the house.
