Got myself 3 LP's at a record fare yesterday in Killarney, 1. Nirvana's Nevermind. 2. Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollox and 3. The B52's album The B52's. 3 very different albums. All fantastic in their own way.

Well, I contacted Kazuhito at Audiokuza to ask about the Nagaoka cartridges. He told me they would not work great with my turntable as there would be resonance issues. (He mentioned the MP110, MP150 and MP200) I had asked him what he's recommend. He never mentioned the MP300 or MP500 or any of...

Thanks. I would describe the sound as better. The Phono Box DS has made a massive difference to the turntable. But playing Radioead's In Rainbows yesterday had me wondering again if all was adequate again. I will try your suggestions with the tiles tomorrow. I have some left over in the garage...

Funilly enough, I know what you mean. But I take their criticism as only meaning they care about taking time to help me achieve the max from my equipment. I look forward to savaging you're set up. :-)

I had it this way but found that that speaker was right in my seating position, so it meant I couldn't hear the other speaker properly. It's why I moved it wider to the other side of the book shelf. There is plenty of room by the left speaker for it to 'sing' I suppose. But while the right...

I understand what you all mean about the speakers positioning. I have been moving them around to try and find a better balance with the room layout and sound. But the pictures and the narrow angles make it look a little worse than it is. But, yes I admit the far off speaker next to the bookshelf...

Ya, I have been moving them around a little as wasn't happy where they were. I guess the photos make it look worse that they really are. Thanks.

Thanks. And unfortunately no, I only own a poster/picture of a Lamborghini Aventador. *sad*

Just in case any of you have spotted the unusual ornaments, they are presents my brother in law buys me whenever he travels abroad. Comments or advice is more than welcome. John

Amp: Fatman iTube 182. CD Player: Pioneer PD-10K SACD Player Phono Stage: Pro-Ject Phono Box DS Turntable: Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge Speakers: Monitor Audio BR5's

I really appreciate the info lads. Thanks. John

I guess the biggest problem with these is getting the chance to hear them and compare them, plus to add to that your system setup and musical preference. I wonder would Pro-ject TT's be better with Ortofon cartridges as they are designed with them in mind? I had been looking through a few...

I'm not really sure I understand what you're asking?? I guess the amp should do just fine. There are 2 lines in. If you link your phono stage pre amp to the first line in (left and right) on the amp and then link the pre amp to the turnatble it will work just fine. As for turntables and phono...

Glad to hear the Bronze wouldn't be overkill for the Debut Carbon Esprit. Thanks for the reply. John
