dear Eben....rega offers a TT for 78RPM as well.....I could order one for you....not even expensive....

.......or for R 800.000 only (not EURO ..not USD)....my mint pair of Avantgardes Trios with 1 pair of basshorns! First of April my tenant moves into the THE LOFT...so last chance to shoot a real bargain... another set of basshorns is for sale as well - and the 3rd pair I m keeping and using as...

What I like about Vivid is the fact that they re having character, uniqueness and an undeniable signature by Lawrence Dickie - this is far more than most leading brands re having - not to forget that so many of them are only shells with a legendary name (echoes from the past) - purely companies...

....I m having my view and I think I m not wrong or unfair to say why and where we lost the topic (again). In fact this was causing my bad reaction....I m pretty sure Jozua and I ll overcome this (knowing and respecting each other personally for many years). It takes more to offend me or Jozua...

@Jozua...... the amount of members and datas the new owners got by their purchase ll be commercial used this way or the other - it is already having a monetary value by itself. Thats even ok I think (as long you are aware of). So being a "paying member" should be -without any judgement - a...

from my side I can point out on the new Standmount Borresen X1. I will get some during April and to me the X3 is one of the best performing speakers I heard in a long time (at such price level). The X1 do have the same sound signature, a breathtaking build quality and beautyful, implements the...

with all respect to the immense work of David Chesky.... and speaking in his own words "Cool what he does" - but I found his recordings (most) deadly boring and his new approach to bring things further has been done already throughout the exceptional work from Morton from 2L Recordings - and...

[email protected] my side I cannot complain. The music I hear goes through good hands and 70-80% is wonderful to listen to. But yes.... there is bad stuff out there, ok stuff, good stuff, very good stuff and excellent stuff....and this on all excisiting formats.

@Tzs503gp ......even they encounter excellence - they still going "safe" and buying the usual candidates (candidas :cool: ).... People buying brands & names and most probably the newer or bigger model than their friends and neighbours have. Even they encounter excellence and something which...

After a long time I also enjoyed this time to participate in this discussion - because a.) I got somehow triggered by "my Avantgardes" (my kind of Waterloo in this country) and somehow about the general mislead in High End what was shown in these Videos and b.) there was or is a nice flow in the...

@KenMasters .....I have heard the Trios many many times on different High End Shows or at dealers presentations - and in 90% I found them lousy in their performance. Many times I left the room within minutes. It also had to do with the choice of music - Yello, Heavy Metal and the usual...

[email protected] me .....its very possible and pleasant to live with it - but truth is - it takes a while to get used to this scale of music reproduction and it takes (like always) time to get it "sounds right". Musicians do not really feel a need to have what most of us are in need...

......PS: recently I had a conversation with god and he said if you guys still stick to your B&Ws and do not buy heavenly products from Achim - you not get into heaven!😇

.....if sound doesnt really matter..... we would still making music on archaic instruments. Instruments themselves got far more over the centuries and they got more defined, better and perfectionized. A simple drum became a orchestra timpany, a Clavichord became a Piano. Why? Because Music &...

.......its all about having great fun and to be taken into a wonderful illusion - a journey. There are many ways to do it right and to forget the fact that all we hear isnt "really real" and only gets delivered by "boxes". And even at that level (as we ve seen in that video) you can do it...
