X 2 for considering Graham Slee. Great products that punch well above their weight. Always worth a listen.

Like others, I have a few go to tracks. In no particular order: Paul Weller - Strange museum Paul Weller - Pick it up World Party - Is it too late? Led Zep - No Quarter Led Zep - The rain song Tears for Fears - Badman's song RHCP - Funky Monks AC/DC - Hells bells The Doors - Riders on the...

The first RSD was in 2008. Back then it would have been a more modest event. Bringing it up to date. In the UK alone over 300 record shops participated in the event this year. Extrapolate that across the world and I think those metrics alone suggest RSD is doing OK, with little evidence of a...

I think it's a little unfair to write it off as nothing more than a marketing ruse. My local indie shop relies on the additional attention the day brings to vinyl interest/sales in general. In the lead up to the event BBC 6 music featured several interviews with indie record shop owners and they...

I'm not sure I've ever seen one come up 2nd hand. I'm guessing they're just keepers?!? Have you considered the Petite? I was very happy with mine. There is currently an ex dem one available on line though it may be a step down from your TE phono stage...

Go for it. It's an absolute gem. Very expensive but worth every penny to my ears. I can't rate it highly enough. Functionality is great too without impossibly hidden dip switches to overcome.

Yes. Been using AR since the early 90s. The valves in my current amp need replacing really, but it's an expense I can't afford at the moment. After using various solid state phono stages (Graham Slee & Trichord to name a couple) I came across the EAT petite. I Loved it and eventually upgraded to...

Nice rack!

35+ years in the making!

Just confirming this is a wish list and not a want list?!? YG are the best speakers I've ever heard. My local dealer (Criterion Audio) are a distributor and always have different versions up and running in the dem room. I wouldn't want to greedy, but the Carmel 3 are the entry level, but at...

I had a Reflex C for a while. Always thought it punched well above it's weight. I moved on to a trichord Diablo and I couldn't say it was the upgrade the additional price suggested. Have moved on since but always have fond memories of the Reflex C.

:LOL:

Bargain....... 😙

I can't add anything to this thread that others haven't already mentioned, but just wanted to say this has been a great thread to read!!! The forum at it's best! HNY all!

A year later and sad to report that due to ill health of the owner, the most excellent Lost in vinyl closed it's doors on December 23rd. An amazing indie shop and will be much missed by it's loyal customers,
