I’m looking for a neat solution for tri-wiring my Linn Majik 109 speakers (I’m going active). My current (passive) cable is Van Damme Blue Series 2.5mm which I’m pleased with (and is amazing value for money), and they offer a 6 core cable in their Black range...

I was wondering if there are any other Pono owners on here ... there seems to have been very little mention of Pono on the Forum. I finally received my KickStarter Foo Fighters edition a few weeks before Christmas (much later than expected) and I've been very impressed so far. There is an...

I drive my LS50s with a Naim Nait XS with VERY pleasing results! It's front-ended by an LP12 (mostly) or FLAC & digital radio streamed via a Squeezebox touch. I've been really pleased with the combination; incredibly detailed & very easy on the ear. :)

Does anyone here own Kudos X2 speakers? If so, can you tell me if the dimensions on their website refers to the cabinets or the plinths/bases? 780mm x 166mm x 206mm (h x w x d) If (as I suspect) it's for the cabinets, then what is the footprint of the bases? ... and do they also add to the...

DAVID BOWIE - THE RISE & FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST & THE SPIDERS FROM MARS (40th Anniversary Vinyl) Nice heavyweight vinyl and cover. The remaster definitely sounds more 'refined' than my old RCA mid-price copy. No idea how to go about ripping the audio tracks from the DVD though!

BAT FOR LASHES - THE HAUNTED MAN I'd also endorse the Bat For Lashes album; fantastic album - great pressing (although wasn't expecting white vinyl; no such sticker on the shrinkwrap) - nice cover / booklet - free CD for ripping. 10/10 for music & product!

I'd endorse the previous comments; you really can't go wrong with Pro-Ject or (preferably) Rega.

I'd also add a vote for Van Damme cables. I have the Studio Grade Blue 2.5mm and it sounds great. Dead easy to order online as well; I got mine from audiovisualonline.co.uk

Can I suggest having a listen to the Dynaudio Excite X12's as well ... I purchased a used pair of Totem Aro's (in effect the floorstanding version of the Dreamcatchers) last year as we have a fairly small listening room and wanted something unobtrusive. I'm afraid I couldn't live with them for...

I've always stuck to Linn's philosophy regarding record cleaning ... let the stylus clean the record then clean the stylus. Any dry cloth/brush is far more likely to push dush INTO the grroves. Any wet product is likely to leave a residue in the grooves. Unless you have one of the...

... but 2013 will see the release of the MONO remasters on vinyl! Think I'm going to wait.

The closest I ever heard was a Naim DBL set-up (with A LOT of Naim amps powering them) at a hi-fi show many moons ago.

Thanks Chris but I really need a unit with a battery option for travel.
