Mine is an £1,800 Dynavector cartridge. As it happens, my dealer is visiting me shortly, as I have purchased a new amplifier, a Soul Note A1 and he is setting it up for me. Also, recently, while playing a CD , one of my speakers has gone dead. I have all the cables in the right places and have...

I have just ordered a Soul Note A1 amplifier from my local dealer. It is an ex-demo, lightly used.

I have a Well Tempered Simplex 2 turntable and a Dynavector P75 v4 phono stage. No sound at all is coming from my turntable.

I had my turntable wall unit moved recently and have forgotten where in the back of my Naim Nait 5si amplifier my cable from my turntable goes. Also, while moving the turntable, my tonearm gently dropped onto the deck of thevturnable once, but gently. Have I damaged the stylus? Thank you

I have it and am very impressed. I was just seeing who else here owns one.

A guy at work once encouraged me to listen to a load of his CD's and handed me the case they were in to take home....When I returned to work a couple of days later I found that he had quit his job. I never saw him again.

@Cricketbat70 I only lent one LP and that was to a boss I had. He returned it, no problem. Here is where I was taught a lesson.....Another boss had no money and needed petrol to get home. He asked me for £20. This was about 15 years ago. I never saw that money again and he said he could not...

An update....I met him at a local vinyl fair and he looked at a sought-after LP, advertised for about £50. I handled it properly, with great care and he took it from me, placing his fingers on the black vinyl. He had just been smoking too! I hope I never see him at a vinyl fair again. I also...

Who else has this lovely phono stage?

I have a Well Tempered Simplex 2 turntable, £1,995 with a £1,800 cartridge. My friend has a Rega Planar 3 with a £50 ish cartridge. Is there a risk that lending him my vinyl will negatively affect the records or likewise, him lending me his will affect my cartridge?

Do you do this? What if your turnrable and stylus cost many times more than the person's you were lending to?

I own a Naim amplifier, bought for about £1,100 eight years ago. Brother says a Cyrus one, £130 on ebay will blow the socks of amps costing thousands.

Any other Russell K owners here? I have the Russell K red 50s.

How does it stack up to todays amps? My brother is repeatedly telling me it us the best amp ever made and will blow the socks of a £6k amp today.

I bet the Amadeus was a serious jump up in listening experience?
