Re: Is owning a turntable worth it?

I'm appreciating my turntable more than ever since getting a Phono 1 to play records through. For me it has shown that vinyl is better than CD, as I think I said in my review I now understand why people say that this is the case for the first time. Having said that if I didn't have some favourite re...

I would say return the amp to Doc under whatever terms he has offered, then take advantage of the 30 day guarantee to try some NVA kit and take it from there.

Re: Ohno cable

I own a Profigold OCC digital cable but I preferred the Soundcord that I now use instead. The SC seemed to have a more natural presentation. I couldn't ever seem to fully relax and enjoy the music with the Profigold in place.

Re: The 2016 Olympics

Well done Adam Peaty and Jaz Carlin in the swimming. I watched the end of the women's road race as it happened and the crash was horrendous, why they kept repeating it was a mystery to me. Glad to see that they had edited just to show the initial slip on the news today. Also saw the Murray's lose in...

Re: The 2016 Olympics

Slinger's not alone. I'll be keen to find out the results of the swimming but I'm not prepared to stay up until the early hours of the morning to watch it live. Fully expecting a Gold medal from Adam Peaty tonight but the final is scheduled for 2.53 a.m. I was disappointed with the cycling road race...

Re: Doc Mod Drivers or Cubettes ---> Cube 3

Thanks for your input Terry, small JPWs would say to me that they were Mini Monitors which sound quite different from the P1 in their original form, but it's good to know that you think the Cubettes are better.

Re: Doc Mod Drivers or Cubettes ---> Cube 3

Quark, I feel yer pain. But to be honest, I would scrimp n scrape, get some overtime in, flog the JPW's And go for a new pair of Cube 3's. Overtime :shock: At the moment I'm struggling to come to terms with working Monday to Friday after years of working a 4 on 4 off shift system so weekends are my...

Re: Doc Mod Drivers or Cubettes ---> Cube 3

I said stained, if you want walnut then ask for it. Inc shipping. Oops, I missed the stained part. There is still a pair of original Cube 3 on the Audiogold site for £ 140. If you have the smaller Doc mod drivers they will fit in nicely. A set of Visaton tweeters and you're all done. £140 for the C...

Re: Doc Mod Drivers or Cubettes ---> Cube 3

I haven't ordered any Doc Mod drivers yet but if they can't be returned for an upgrade after they have been fitted, which I can fully understand, that makes it more likely that I would wait and go for Cubettes later. I'm not in a position to go for the Cube 3 at the moment. Yes, I had noticed the pr...

Doc Mod Drivers or Cubettes ---> Cube 3

At the moment I am really enjoying my steel lined but otherwise standard JPW P1 speakers on the end of my NVA based system. Limited free time for DIY has meant that I haven't managed to get any further with these even though I already have new caps and resistors ready to fit. I am undecided whether ...
