Yes, especially after adding the preamp and supertweeters, these last two upgrades have done wonders for my enjoyment levels :-)

The thing I noticed most when I first upgraded my old 80s NAD amp to an Audiolab 8000A many years ago was the timing. It kinda took me by surprise, suddenly all the musicians sounded more proficient, more precise and not a loose as I imagined they had been. Drums in particular sounded amazing...

I too liked these speakers at Bristol, if I remember correctly they came in some funky colours too? Pricey yes, but they sound great, I made a note to self to consider these if upgrading again at a later date..... and have that kind of money burning a hole in my pocket ....

Well done Clare :-)

Mine still on most evenings, including right now, just about to check out a new compilation I have just received through the post (English Weather ; Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs - of Saint Etienne fame). But always with the patio doors open, and sometimes only when I've returned from the pub -...

Why do you need to buy the amp now as well? Do you not have an amp, you could buy the speakers now and upgrade to suitable amp at a later date? It's taken me years to get the system I now have, you don't have to buy it all in one go.....

I agree with the comment about people with spare money (or at least want people to think they have money even if they don’t) spending it on cars - this is mainly as people see them in their cars but people don't generally see their hifi - unless they come to their house of course. Why else do...

sorry, must have been someone else!

Hi Cno, Yes it's certainly made me realise what I've been missing. Digital volumes are OK and can be very practical but seem to lag behind their analogue counterparts in producing the music rather than just the detail and information. I daresay this will vary of course from system to system and...

Hi Pedro, I have read many times on the Linn forum of the pros and cons of using an analogue pre, and did actually try a Lejonklou preamp (that they swear by on that site) and a Tisbury passive pre, but neither made much, if any difference to these ears. The Fidelity however is a different...

I've been using the digital volume control in my Linn Klimax Renew DS , directly connected to my Linn power amp for some time now, and although it sounded good it didn’t sound great, and I thought it should be sounding better than it was (especially considering the cost) After exploring several...

Free entry! Wish they had that at the Bristol show, costs me about £20 as I invariably have to pay for myself and my partner to get in..... Enjoy the show

I think it was Rivers of Babylon / Brown girl in the ring by Boney M - but soon followed by Germ Free Adolescence by X-Ray Spex , arguably the cooler of the two :-)

Those Boenicke speakers look very interesting, I often google products when I read the posts here to see what people are talking about...........would certainly like to listen to a pair of those ............
