    Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

    It may have been some faulty units, but i've seen Youtube videos where people mentioned platter wobble here and here and some other people saying the tonearm is a bit fiddly or shaky or drops unevenly with "interruptions", things like that ? You don't have these problems with your 1500c ? @AndyCC72

    Turntable: Technics 1500C or 1200GR or Pro-ject Debut Pro

    As good as a Debut Pro may be over a 1500c/100c, I just find the Technics look to be irresistible. Some local shops confirmed they are waiting for 100c't this fall, it is probably just arriving in shops. Hopefully in time for black friday!

    Turntable: Technics 1500C or 1200GR or Pro-ject Debut Pro

    What do you guys think this person means, in the Amazon review below ? Does the volume have anything to do with the actual turntable ? Source: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technics-SL-100C-Direct-Turntable-System-Black/dp/B094R84292

    Turntable: Technics 1500C or 1200GR or Pro-ject Debut Pro

    I looked at some SH 1200's and contacted the sellers, local ads. But I don't know anything about TT's and don't like buying SH when I have no idea what the pitfalls are. I heard some DJ's are modifying their TT's and then run them like crazy on gigs, then they sell them as SH. Yes, also some...

    Turntable: Technics 1500C or 1200GR or Pro-ject Debut Pro

    I have been piling up on LP's for a while, but never actually played any of them yet. All vinyls are still in their plastic wraps. Meanwhile, I've been preparing for the gear acquisition and looking at the models mentioned in the subject : 1500C seems the easiest to play with, with the pickup...

    Imusic of Denmark website, for real or scam ?

    Writing from Sweden, tempted to buy some LP's from this website https://imusic.se/ which seems to be like a danish website that also sells in Sweden. Has anybody used this ? It looks a bit shady so not sure if this is a real shop, or some kind of a fake/scam website ? thanks

    Streamer advice for absolute beginner.

    I am also considering the R.Pi4 as a streamer. My current setup is PC laptop → Ifi Zen Dac → Edifier 1280 T (active desktop speakers), but got a few questions: will an R.Pi be a significant SQ improvement over just streaming from a laptop ? if I set the R.Pi to use Volumio for Spotify, and...

    Kef LS50 original (ex-demo) vs. LS50 Meta (new)

    Guys, I really did it. Just blew all my budget on a beautiful, carbon frame, gravel bike, because I enjoy that stuff more and so, this hi-fi journey's likely getting delayed to Black Friday, or next year's Black Friday, or something like that :rolleyes: Thank you all for the ideas posted (y)

    Kef LS50 original (ex-demo) vs. LS50 Meta (new)

    Plan remains to listen to Wharfedales soon in a local shop, 3 hours drive away, but already made arrangements. Meanwhile I'm still digging around and had an "a-ha" moment yesterday where in this Youtube video heard a point which gave this a different perspective. This reviewer saying there is...

    DAC for powered speakers

    I use an Ifi Zen Dac wired between laptop and some cheap ok-ish active desktop speakers from Edifier. The Ifi Zen Dac sounds good and also has a headphone amp & MQA support.

    Kef LS50 original (ex-demo) vs. LS50 Meta (new)

    Got it. I have literally narrowed down my search to either the LS50 Meta or any of the Wharfedales 12.1/12.2. A local shop seems to have received Diamonds in stock and I will arrange a visit next week. Buying is the easy part and I will definitely finalize this :)

    Kef LS50 original (ex-demo) vs. LS50 Meta (new)

    None of the shops that I went to had the Brio up for testing unfortunatelly.

    Kef LS50 original (ex-demo) vs. LS50 Meta (new)

    Actually I did visit 3 shops already and have listened to a few speakers, in different power setups and in showroom environments: LS50 originals and Metas sounded great with my very own playlist (different, quite strong amps in 2 shops, which may have been deceiving because I will probably...
