    Ortofon tour

    Thanks! A great description of the session. I was lucky enough to attend the session in Doug Brady's in Warrington, and my experiences matched yours; I even bought the London Grammar LP (it's 2 x 45rpm discs, so that may somewhat explain its high quality). I came out very impressed to hear the...

    Wooden Cone Feet ?

    Hello, does anyone have any experience of using the 'wooden' cone feet, as can be purchased from Russ Andrews or off EBay?

I...

    Hello everybody, I've just joined, so I'd like to say hello. Here's my old system: Arcam Alpha 9/9P bi-amped into Mission 752 Freedom Speakers, Arcam Alpha 9 CD, Alpha 8 FM Radio, Yamaha KX 580 Cassette, Denon TU1800DAB Radio, and all sorts of expensive interconnect cables and power cables.

    Rega Elex-R Amplifier

    Hi, I'm new to this forum, so apologies if I'm covering old ground. I've just bought a Rega Elex-R as a replacement for my old Arcam Alpha 9 Integrated Amp. I ran the old one bi-amped with an Arcam 9P power amp into Mission 752 Freedom Speakers. It used to sound beautifully, clear and warm...
