I bought a technics turntable a sl1200g i did listen to the technics 1200gr but thought stretching to the g version was worth it. Suddenly have the urge to listen to vinyl rediscover how different it sounds. My cd player a roksan kandy and a teac nt503 dac now switched off. I did listen to linn...

Or get a 2nd hand roksan kandy it rated 125 watts rms per channel 8 ohms. Used to have a marantz pm66se before the roksan aound wise the marantz lacks grunt has a fine midrange and sweet treble. The roksan i have the kandy l3 version is more fuller sound and plus point u can bi amp it.

I bought a technics sl1200g still waiting for it to come but in the meantime have bought records and accessories such as cleaning and caring for records. I have listened to a demo of the technics 1200gr at the dealers and my impression is u cant hardly hear any surface noise the sound has depth...

speaker cables do subtly reveal the sound some cables like the qed silver are more brighter trebley so more into your face, best rule is to balance the sonic out, so you can listen to the music comfortably. when reviewers say that this is more revealing what that means is the cable is bright...

if you can get a freindly dealer who is willing to let you try out the r500 and r700 then your ears and wallet will decide, as for what amp to drive them the kef r series are easier to drive than the reference models for those you need a amp that can deliver higher currents something like...

Psu and also other components like capacitors are critical to providing a sound that is neutral, i am talking of elna capacitors, torroidal transformers, the cheap budget amps used to have a frame type of psu, probably poorly shielded, this affected the amps dynamic range, its drive, and also...

if you buy budget casette decks when they were generally new they usually have solenoid operated switches which click , with cams they silent, and also with the naks the wow and flutter figure is less than comparitive models. Nakamichi tend to use their own tape mechanisms, motors, designed...
