I've been looking for a nice PL-71 for a while, so picked it up after the Doc's "it's worth it" response. I know that people have picked them up for under £100, but considering it was in such good condition and boxed, I decided to take a punt. Glad I did as it's a wonderful sounding, "...

CD done right is better than vinyl, but there's so much more vinyl done right, and CD done wrong... I find a lot of CD masters have a horrible digital signature (especially 'digitally remastered' stuff), but listen to Massive Attack - Mezzanine, for example, and the CD beats the vinyl version in my ...

I see that Royd speaker are highly rated here does anyone have any experience of the Sorcerer as I have an opportunity to buy a pair. Yes, I have a pair of Sorcerer (SE spec). They are one of Royd's better speakers IMO, certainly a step up from the Minstrel. Bit more refined & better tonal bala...

Love 'em, really do the amps justice.
