Try HiFi Corner in Elm Row or Loud and Clear at Commercial Quay, always found both dealers very decent.

Came across a Canadian singer the other day on Spotify, Rose Cousins. There are a couple of albums on Spotify.

Give J.P Cormier a listen, there are a couple of his albums on spotify. Tell me what you think.

Or an Abrahamsen 2UP

Cheers for that guys, it was more or less what I expected.

Just wondering if anybody has had experience of using the Project speedbox. i have not got a lot of 45's so the speed change does not really bother me but I have read a few reviews that says it makes a project turntable sound a bit better. I have the Project 2 Xperience acryl and was just...

Sorry Steve will have to give it a miss, the colour doesn't quite match the lounge!!!!!!!

I have had one for a while now and think it is a very good amp, there a a review of it on HiFi wigwam http://www.hifiwigwam.com/abrahamsen-v2-0-up-integrated-amplifier-review/ I know they are hard to get a demo of but there are a few folk on here that have one or IQ who sells them and I'm sure...

Send Abrahamsen an email from their contact us at the top of the website page. They will get in touch and you can pay them by paypal. I have done this for an amp and CD player.

With being a virgin with a decent turntable its good to read all your different thoughts and ideas regarding upgrades, it has pointed me in the directions where I should be looking and given me ideas on carts and phono stages. I am enjoyong the sound that I am getting and was suprised that the...

Well it looks like I can tinker with it forever*biggrin* thanks for all your help, I will start by having a listen to carts and phono stages and take it from there. I am in no rush and if I need to up my budget to make significant improvements I will just have to save some more. Thanks again

yes its a Ortofon 2M Silver that came fitted, I was planning in upgrading the cartridge after the amp but if it would give me a bigger improvement I will look at cartridges. With that what sort of money would make an improvement and is there a limit that the T/T could take?(where the cost...

Thanks for all your advice, it gives me some ideas of where to start. I will keep you updated on where i end up.
