😂 My daughter is a big Swifty, she has all her CDs. 😢

I've long given up analysing my system and appreciate it for what it is. I know it's never going to be seen as the greatest sounding system, but what it does achieve is a great combined sound for its price point. Then you could question whether it's the best in its price bracket, but in...

Here's a couple of photos taken at Richer Sounds, with the Amphion Argon 1 and Dali Rubicon 2

Every Roksan amp I've demoed - quite a few - have been great VFM.

Both are really impressive. I liked the Amphions based on their lively presentation, but based on my system, the Dali Rubi 2 are a very noticeable step up: beautifully balanced, subtle, punchy, great clarity.... very good for most genres of music. As always, the Rubikore are a big step up in...

In my 2.0 version, due to the nature of the narrow lanes, I never take it over 3000 rpm.

Yeah, you certainly need a Quaife limited slip diff. If it's a Q2 version, fitted with the Quaife from the factory, that's fine. The early V6s never had the Q2 diff, which isn't cheap either. Not for me. Keep it stock spec.

I think more than ever people become lazy (generalisation), not helped by the Internet. Most would rather chance their arm and buy blind, something I don't subscribe to, unless it's a used model, such as my Exposure CDP. I believe high street retailers need to adapt to modern circumstances. So...
