Black vinyl sounds darker

Its not that it doesn’t lower or rise correctly, it does, even if it could do it a smidgen more graceful. It’s that the lever assembly feels feeble, imprecise and cheap, at least compared to my previous Rega. The 1300G is the same. No doubt they will last though. Designers should take care that...

Forget all the angst and paranoia so prevalent with cleaning records. Apart from being an industry and out to get your money (!) its actually very easy, cheap and quick to deep clean them with little effort and absolutely no damage. I am not going to tell you how I do it. Folks that already...

They are already doing this. There are currently no simple integrated amplifiers in their portfolio with no announcement of any new ones. They will probably streamline and perhaps simplify existing product lines. Luckily, the new parent company makes most products in the EU so hopefully keep UK...

I will always recommend the same amplifier for that sort of money, Audiolabs 6000A. In my case it saw out Hegels H95 and Cyrus ONE Cast. Superb, even compared to much more expensive stuff. If you want colouration look elsewhere. For an amplifier that will let your source and speakers do the...
