    Jay's Audio CDT2-MkII CD Transport listening impressions

    I have to say I am no CD fan, format is horrible for me, sound is obviously fantastic when all things align. But i just never got on with them, ended up in the car scratched to hell and don't get me started on the design of the Jewel case with those hinge tabs!! :mad: Ripped all my CDs to...

    Seeking SPU tonearm advice

    Indeed the LFD cable family in my system have made an astonishing difference to the presentation, actually a greater leap to what I wanted to hear from my equipment than any Tonearm or component change, it was that big. It did make me rethink the whole merry go round of Tonearm and box...

    Seeking SPU tonearm advice

    Excuse my ignorance regarding the A type SPU, but does the available adapter for the A type not bring it in line with the regular alignment of the classic SPUs? or do they simply not line up

    Seeking SPU tonearm advice

    Point taken about the SPU A , but i think the original post wasn't really referring to the A type? I don't have a Glanz, but I have heard one on numerous lengthy sessions with and without SPUs (not an A!).... the original comment about the Glanz pissing on the Groovemaster was made light...

    Seeking SPU tonearm advice

    If one purchases wisely and purchases minty used, the Glanz is ($4565) which is not as you say, 4 times the Groovemaster ($2,915.00 - $3,205.00) is it worth the extra $1360? ....I think so.

    Seeking SPU tonearm advice

    Hmm, I have to say, imho, the Glanz MH-104S urinates all over the Groovemaster with an SPU. It's a terrific combination! One for sale used below (rare to see them come up) https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?74867-Glanz-MH-104S-Tonearm

    LFD Cables (phono and I.C.) from the UK, cables as components

    Bitten by an LFD Scorpion !! Like most of us, I have spent a good few hard earned hifi tokens on box swapping in search of the end game sound. Obviously chasing one's tail in the process. I was advised by Mik @Unique audio to concentrate on optimising my system and the components I had and stop...

    LFD Cables (phono and I.C.) from the UK, cables as components

    Another Richard Bews cable fan here. I too was introduced by Mik @ Unique Audio to LFD cabling. I have had the privilage of hearing some crazy sounding and even crazier looking Frankenstein cables at Unique Audio. The cabling so large that no phono RCA or Din plug can handle, so all the...

    Recently arrived - Audiopax Model 5 preamp

    For us mere mortals, we don't have dedicated listening rooms in our modest sized homes. Besides, music should be part of the family in a central space where all can enjoy.

    Recently arrived - Audiopax Model 5 preamp

    A very well written journey of an esoteric system's evolution, always pushing the envelope. I've had the pleasure of listening to Tom's system on many occasions and the latest component line up really hits the mark in many ways. Nicely revealing, musically engaging and extremely satisfying, the...

    Millennials, Please Check In!

    hmmm...Not exactly very cheap or very practical (Vintage 15 inch monitor tannoy gold) given he lives in Spain but yes a cheaper option than commercial off the shelf.
