Yeah I was going to do that (I have one of those wee electronic scales). I might end up not using the acrylic platter - I’m kinda afraid it will damage my records. Really just want to eliminate static!

Yeah great mate. Only thing annoying me is that some records seem to have a bit of static. I got a brush etc and have just taken delivery of a Hudson Hifi acrylic platter mat. It seems a bit hard to put a record on though….

I don’t really have the vocabulary or experience with the parlance and terminology of the audio appreciation world, but I’d say one of the first things I noticed was that I could easily distinguish each separate element of a track whilst also enjoying it as a whole. I can always seem now to...

Thanks mate. Sitting enjoying it right now, hearing things in Kid A I didn’t know were there 😀

Sorry mate I should have replied. The plugs that come with the amp are the same as the ones that PT put on the speaker cables.

I’m a bit of a dunce with jacks/plugs, so I’m sure I would get used to using them after a while. But yeah, they do seem all uses master of none kinda plugs!

Sorry for not updating!! Thanks to everyone for their help. Yes I’ve got it all working. Those plus were a real pain but once I was sure of what I was doing it was fine. They were set really tight so I widened them out a little so the had the width to go over the plastic ends. Doesn’t seem...

I had to go out last night and am just about to go out this morning, but hopefully back to it at around lunchtime and spending the rest of the day listening to records!

I honestly didn’t bother with any other speakers yesterday given the savings with those ones. Although I did listen to KEF, acoustic energy and monitor speakers when I was auditioning the deck. Amps were the Cyrus, Arcam A25 and Teac.

I notice Doug Brady are doing them for £995. It’s tempting but I’m tapped out for now. But as you say brilliant upgrade potential - I’ve read how good they are. I’d just need to tell the wife it was £100 😀

Got a great price on it from Peter Tyson. Only £1550. With Focal Vestia No2 floor standers at £799. Took my Rega P3 RS in for the demo. Sound was amazing!

Finally worked out how to create a .jpg from a .heic image on this iPhone. Anyway this picture explains things better than I can. The upper black speaker socket now has no plastic end bit for the internal pin. The red one next to it does. And yes, it’s BFA connectors on the end of the...

I auditioned a few amps at the price point (circa £1.5k) and this was easily the best. As you say the sound quality was really worth it. I think we listened to the Arcam A25 for like 30 seconds. It was no contest! 😀 So yes you totally understand where I’ve been having issue. It’s those type of...

Hi everyone. I bought the Cyrus i9-XR today after a really impressive demo in the store. I have it home and am trying to set up. The cables have come with banana plugs on the end - this was set up by the shop for me to make things idiot proof at my request. When I look to plug them in to the...

This is is great mate, thanks! I’m on my way shortly and have changed what I’m taking based on your steer. Nevermind and The Bends now going.
