“However, manufactures advising they have squeezed another 0.1% performance” As much as that?

How long have CDP’s been with us now, 40+ years? One would have thought that given the claims by manufacturers of year on year improvements (or with each new model) that nirvana would have been reached years ago (maybe it has already been reached😉). My goodness, those early CDP’s must have been...

Yes, the importance of space (room dynamics)/positioning can’t be overstated.

OY! 😁

It’s good to see a lot more scepticism (realism?) regarding cables. I can remember a time when some were offering advice to others on how to fine tune their systems using cables.

I think for the money, Rega take some beating. They’ve been making great turntables for decades 🙂

Good post. To me, there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy the music, as long as it is enjoyed. I think threads like this turn it into a contest, when really, there isn’t one, or shouldn’t be. I speak as one that listens to all formats, each of one has its merits. That said, there’s something...

Finally got round to watching Dune 1 & 2 on BR. Visually stunning, great sound, brilliant sfx, acting top notch. Why then did I find myself waiting for it to end? I must admit, I think I preferred the original version, even though in a lot of ways it was inferior, not least the sfx and dramatic...

I really don’t understand your reason for frequenting this forum, as you have such a low opinion of its subscribers. You obviously can’t accept others choices/preferences. Banging the same drum (over and over) is clearly falling on deaf (to you) ears. Why bother?

As an aside… I had a pair of DM4’s which I bought in ‘78. That means your speakers are getting on 50 years old, probably. Now, I’m not suggesting that there have been vast improvements in SQ during those intervening years, but I do wonder about the condition of those speakers? Are the...

How close are the speakers? Possibly feedback? (Microphony)

Just my opinion. Rock/metal always sounds muddy, it’s how it is. If you want sparkle/clarity, rock/metal won’t float your boat.

Don’t feed the trolls, it’s what they want 👍

I’m envious of those Kefs, I do love the KEF sound 👍
