    Is the resurgence of vinyl LP's a fad?

    ..oh...and sound quality purely resides in the recording and mastering of the original material.....the format chosen to listen on is almost a moot point..(Tapes are crap)....

    Is the resurgence of vinyl LP's a fad?

    You miss the point pod knocker....I listen to cd's, I stream music from tidal via my roon core....I also have a turntable, and listen to my lp's....some of them sound absolutely fabulous.....but I don't make it into a competition as to what sounds best....streaming is absolutely a bore...and I...

    Question Headphone advice for beginner

    Beyerdynamic dt1990 Pro sound sublime for the money and not to difficult to drive, a kind of halfway house between open and closed back design....and they even supply a decent case.

    Time to Go - Disillusioned

    Mirrorless vs dslr is another feisty subject.....I like both...in all honesty, sometimes you get the feeling that some folks are so defensive /aggressive about the products they own . that they have vested interests in the companies themselves....I'm very open about the audio gear I like...

    The VALVE THREAD reboot!

    Own a Primaluna dialogue hp premium, sounds very good indeed, not as mushy and warm sounding as some would have you believe, I bought it from a friend nearly two years ago, I went round for a listen to his new Gato amplifier, I knew he had the primaluna previously, I had listened to it a few...

    Question Old vs New/Isolation?

    I use Iso acoustics orea indigo (x3) with a tesco granite worktop protector under my Avid ingenium plug n play to very good effect.....not super cheap but neither super expensive, I've also just splurged out on the iso acoustics orea bronze (x6) for under my Neat petite classic standmount...

    Naim that sound

    I've owned a original nait xs and a superuniti, never hard or harsh...both lovely sounding units......just don't use silver speaker cable, they really don't like that.

    I'm bored with hi-fi.

    Yeah, not the cheapest upgrade, your floorstanders would be naturally suited to the gaia's. it only starts to make sense when the system is at a certain level, and I believe Pp's is at that level, the rubicons are around 2k, So £300 for such a improvement of his system really is a no brainer.
