    Miyajima Labs Cartridges

    Thanks, but: Francois is not a repairer but a middle man - AFAIK he's receiving parcels with pickups to be repaired and sends them to his workers. I have a good experience with Laszlo from Budapest, only that he seemed to doubled (at least) the prices now working under Ana Mighty Sound scheme...

    Tannoy owners

    Somehow I feel like there is lots of myth around vintage Tannoys. Sometimes it seems there would be much more good speakers around Tannoy drivers if a similar attention given to Golds or HPDs would be given to drivers such as 3808... 2 cents.

    Miyajima Labs Cartridges

    Hello Tom, good to hear from you, hope you are well too in these strange times. Yes now I remember that some time ago you mentioned Killian/Holistic Audio but it slipped my mind. I will contact him tomorrow and start from there. I would need the cantilever for sure and consequently a suspension...

    SET amp owners thread

    Just wondering if anyone had a chance to hear Tron Voyager DHT SPUD - the minimalistic topology caught my attention, it seems to be 1:4 step up into 20B DHT OPT stage and that's all. I like simple things and Graham Tricker said this is his favorite Tron design.... Would like to hear the...

    Best Small Horn speaker? Horn speaker lovers. (Piano sound)

    I would recommend the OP to seek for a pair of Earl Geddes (GeddLee) speakers. There are not many but they are, given the compromise of a smaller size, one of the better horns I had a chance to hear. I owned his top model Summa which I liked for how they sounded but given they were DIY, I...

    BD Designs Horn Speakers

    Ah, nice to hear. These are very good amps, I regret for selling them. In some ways better than Thomas Mayer 300B I have but overall a different sound. Utterly clean and transparent.

    BD Designs Horn Speakers

    Could be it was me who told you that the first pair of Swings (MkI) was voiced on WE91 300B amp. I bought them off the guy who worked together with Bert on them, they were later improved to MkII with outboard MkII crossover and changed bass system. Need to find some of the pics I did earlier...

    SET amp owners thread

    We obviously all hear different. I owned SIT-3 for several months and it didn't show to be worth staying in the house. Although a 300b SET by Thomas Mayer (on of the earlier ones) is my main amp, I tend to keep other amps I like and put them back in the system from time to time, like Hiraga...
