What a brilliant idea your dad will experience one of these day's he will never forget on Christmas day

Apologies for my input above was under the impression you were looking to up-grade here in the UK.

woops had to edit see below post :(

Found a copy of a new Music Fidelity Weezer 'Green Album' from a seller in the states. Love that album can't wait to hear it on vinyl.

'dynamic, because vinyl has a lower dynamic capacity' In general I would agree with the dynamic sound of vinyl to digital, have owned a few different makes of vinyl LP12 – Michell but what really took me by surprise is my current SME deck which has a sound stage to match the dynamics of...

I will , just orderd the cable so will take a couple of weeks. Chord were excilant because I read it takes 100 hours to run in so I sent an e-mail pleading for Chord to burn it in. They agreed and for free.

I use both vinyl ( main ) and a digital streamer. Strange as this may sound I have not noticed a loudness problem with downloads for the streamer. Of course this might come down to a better dac in the streamer I'm not sure. Really glad I gave up CD's some three years ago best move I ever made in...

One thing that annoys me having a streamer is when power from the main grid is lowered ( you see your lights dimming a bit ) happens quite often where I live. This makes the streamer system lose the signal in turn having to touch the re-learn button. Can take up to a couple of hours to get the...

Massive Attack-Mezzanine that's a great album
