I like that. Though now I feel I'd need to further extend that metaphor to understand where the hill is, how come I was running down and where I wanted to go etc... Thing is, I keep hearing about output /speakers relationship, about output not just being about how loud you play, about how to...

Hmmm it will make sense once I have read everything from Pieter and yourself another 32 times 😬. I have always been a man of letters much more than numbers. Hence while I crave more knowledge in the technical aspects of this wonderful hobby, I find it so very hard 😂

Thanks for that, really helpful. Yes I had realised the output at 4ohm is never just double that at 8ohm but was a bit puzzled how to compare the max output you had mentioned - as some amps specs mention it (or it can be anyway found) and others don't. I see you included aome ampere figures in...

Sounds like a vicious cycle to me 😆.

Premise - I am not at all technically-minded but this "tickled" me a little - and wanted to check out my own amp max output (Rega Elex-R) as well as a couple of amps I am looking at as potential future upgrade (incl. Naim Supernait 2). I had a look around and I can see the 26A figure for NAD...

I was thinking about doing that next! Played Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother and the piano notes were soo good and crisp. As per your conundrum - I'd try a audition of the NAD and the SL100(500)C side by side.

Anyway - yes, one thing I love about the Technics is how alive the drums and often the bass feel. I was listening to 17 Seconds by the Cure a couple of nights ago and was actually annoyed how much more forward the drums were compared to the voice 🤣. But then last night was working my way...

Wouldn't know. They do look similar but not identical - the plinth for one is definitely not the same. Actually reminds me more of a Clearaudio than Rega.

Nothing "basic" about those turntables tbh. I recently upgraded my 1500C (which is the 100C + phono stage) to the considerably higher spec 1300G. Before dropping the 1500C off to its new owner, did a bit of an A/B, using different tracks to check treble, bass and lower frequency, voice etc...

Same. Granted, I wish Wiim had full integration with Apple Music to stream lossless, but I can get that by connecting the Mac or iPhone to my CD player through USB.

These are reasonable and utterly vital :LOL...

xc Not a monstrous amount. I think it's 13kg vs the 9.9kg of the 1500C. Which I am fairly happy about - my semi-floating shelf was quoted as carrying 10kg comfortably, so I think I can risk leaving it as it is. If I had gone for the 1210 I would have had to add a bracket underneath... I...

Does look quite nice but agree with Rui, I think it would be a step backwards. If you are after a more stripped back look, what about a Rega P3/6?

Talking about isolation feet - just got a SL1300G and as I was swapping places with its 1500C predecessor, I could not help but notice the massive difference. The 1500 feet are fairly stiff, to the point they can seem/feel solid/fixed. The suspension on the 1300G is pretty "bouncy" in comparison...

Hahah did see one of these - not sure if the same brand/model or similar a year or so ago. Laughed for two days straight... Then hey, maybe it's just my massive ignorance but I am perfectly happy without a £14K wooden box with a handful of ground posts in my life.
