I am following your progress over at Naim too. If you want a simple integrated with power, from a reputable long established manufacturer which will likely still be here in 20 years and which makes things in house with the resulting back up if things go tits up ... Rega and Naim (your original...

I am using a £5 speaker at the moment (in addition to my main system) and the little thing is phenomenal.

You need to be patient, price fairly in the first instance, take great photos and write a good description and you will sell on ebay. Reducing price is no guarantee of selling, quite the opposite. If someone wants an item they will pay the advertised price as long as it is commensurate with the...

Stay off forums and enjoy what you have and which is very nice. There is no perfection, especially with turntables. Flawed media, beginning to end. If anything I am grateful to you for your costly experimentations and which confirms what I know already which is that all of the new Technics...

😵‍💫

I did warn you 😀 I have two small speakers inside an Ikea Kallax unit. Not my main speakers but they sound entirely great, no issues 😉 My bro in Switzerland has small ATC’s on a book shelf. Again, not main speakers, again no problems. Occasionally, domestic bliss has to over ride audiophile...

Love the look of your cabinet and set up. Sometimes it’s just not practical to have a ‘perfect’ Hifi placement, for whatever reason. Who cares. You’ll get plenty advise on speakers and ‘alternative’ ways of placing them 😀

It is too long ago since I had my P3 to remember details but I would put money on it that it could not do dynamics with such impact and precision as the Technics. Listening to opera and the transients both micro and macro are something else. That is with lowly MM.

I am using a 6000A with a Chord Mojo 2. Sounds good.

Another entry to the usual suspects. DALI always seem to be competent. I have no idea what it takes to be exceptional in todays crowded market. On paper it reads like any small box speaker around that price.

Indeed. What are we talking about here? Downsizing usually implies a loss of something in one way or another, be that size, quality or a combination of the two. The OP asked for 'something less cumbersome' but of 'similar' quality. To me, 10, perhaps even 15% loss of SQ is still of 'similar'...

Not wanting to poo on you thread Jasonovich ... I dislike end of year 'the best of ...' vlogs. They all do it and worse, some do them in categories with separate videos instead of making new content. Complete waste of time imho with rehashes. They could at least make it a little interesting by...

Down sizing is easy if you are predominantly interested in music. After a week or two it won't bother you. I remember when I had to sell my main system due to divorce and move to a small flat. Bought a Denon Micro and was happy. I subsequently moved up the ladder again but only because I could...

Well spotted. I was down the garden path ...
