Re: So what do I start saving for now???

Hi Zebbo Having just returned it to the Doc after a lengthy trial I'd say you have to try the TSCS, I was amazed at the difference between that and LS6 in my system. Better bass, treble and all the usual hi-fi stuff but more importantly much more musical and much more believable. Has to be heard - I...

Re: Very Long Interconnects/Where to begin

Having ordered the cables and picked them up from the Doc it took me a few weeks to get round to putting them into my system. However they have now been playing fairly constantly for a couple of weeks so it's time for a write up. Being somewhat anal by nature I introduced them one at a time so that ...

Re: NVA Phono Stages - rethink

Thank you, I now need to measure up but I suspect I'm a few mm short of height.

Re: NVA Phono Stages - rethink

Hello Doc, can you tell me the size of the BBPSU (and presumably also the BMU if they use the same box?) please? I need to check under my record/front end equipment shelves to see if it will fit underneath. Do they need much space around/above them for air circulation? Also can you tell me what leng...

Re: Very Long Interconnects/Where to begin

That's great, thank you. There's no rush, particularly as I will be away in Norfolk with the family from 29 August to 3 September.

Re: Phono 3 and big bastard PSU

Are you still looking for people to listen to this? Once I've got the cables in my system I would be keen to hear this if possible - I have a Garrard 401 with a Graham 2.2 tonearm with several arm wands and various cartridges. Presumably it is currently set up for moving coil cartridges? At the mome...

Re: Very Long Interconnects/Where to begin

Hello Doc, just to let you know that I've placed the order on Ebay with a note on the split length speaker cables. I've left the order as courier delivery but provided I'm not too busy when the cables are completed would prefer to pick them up myself if thats OK? Perhaps you could let me know when i...

Re: Very Long Interconnects/Where to begin

I thought I should report back as thanks to EvilC I have now had a chance to listen to a few of his NVA amps and cables. Amps used were a Mk1 A30 and Mk2 A80's (we skipped the A60 he also had available!), interconnects were SC and TIS, speaker cables LS3 and LS6. P90SA pre and Epos ES14 speakers rem...

Re: Very Long Interconnects/Where to begin

Thank you again that's helpful. EvilC' has very kindly invited me over to listen to his system and we have a date provisionally set which should help me decide what to order in the first instance. Once that is up and running and I know I like it I'll investigate the phono options available by which ...

Re: Very Long Interconnects/Where to begin

Thanks for letting me know. In working out costs and what I could sensibly afford I had been thinking about SSC instead but had noticed from the pictures that it is considerably thicker than SC. How big are the differences in sound between the two? I have done a search on this forum but there is com...
