Stu, I'm going to be controversial, four legs like that introduce the possibility that one will not be in full contact with the floor, either because the floor isn't level or the legs are very slightly different lengths. I therefore suggest you use three per speaker where they will all be in solid c...

A word of caution. I heard Zubin Mehta and the Israeli philharmonic play Respighi's "The Pines of Rome". Bought an LP (don't remember who it was playing /conducting) but it wasn't the same piece of music - the notes were corr4ect but the life had been squeezed out of it. There is a BBC pr...

This +1. You should see what cables are used in a recording studio sometimes. Most of us wouldn't put them in the same room as our system never mind connect them up. My cable of choice is Van Damme with Neutric connectors, a good balance between cost and reliability and the connectors are GP proof....

I always remind myself that what ever I do the sound I hear cannot possibly better that what the mastering engineer heard in his headset or monitors. I don't know for sure what the connectors used in the studio are made from but one model of Neutric connector uses Bronze contacts, which may be Gold ...

But now, new 'eviden...

He used to pick the Premium Bond numbers, didn't he? :lol: He might as well have done, mine never came up. Then again he might have been a milkman. I've got three that were bought for me as a child, over 60 years ago, and some more I bought in the seventies. I've never won anything either. E electr...

Mechanically there is no practical difference between a CD transport and a DVD transport the difference is in the density of data on the disc and the laser for reading it. The DVD has a greater density of data so needs a more precise tracking mechanism. I would have thought that a DVD transport woul...
