Blimey, that's an unexpected up spec for an audio brand. Not many brands using decent iron like that these days.

Rega, 10 million in assets, loads of profit, and guess how much Roy took out compared to ivor? Peanuts...


Two very different companies.

The point is that maybe its just the fact that the filters for high res dont fold back in title audible spectrum that makes high res sound better, not the higher res itself. Hence my prior advice to eliminate both confounding results from dac data path and mastering differences before assuming one k...

Stu, nah they just sit on top, combing effects be damned

I guess the only thing you can really say against them is that music is almost always mixed for/on directional speakers so is likely to sounds closer to as intended on a similar setup.

Col announced he was giving up on hifi over on pfm a few days ago. Not sure where it leaves this

They're actually the same impedance and sensitivity as the yam tweeters so were a straight shoe in, though I rebuilt the xo with air cores externally. Ribbons vary hugely in quality. The...

But you've ignored the top roll, looks wrong with the plinth having a tighter edge roll than the top plate. I get that it's hard to do with veneer. Nearly everyone else does the same, always looks wrong to me.
