    Safe as Milk - It's a good album - a bit zany - I like it a lot. Give it a couple of listens. cheers tonky

    North West Audio Show 2018

    But still very expensive - even as a ' home build'. I'd like to build something very much like the BBC LS3/5 type (the smallest ones. One or two kit speaker suppliers (like Wilmslow Audio and Falcon acoustics) offer similar designs . The WA one is way off original spec as it shows a much more...

    Your first vinyl record?

    First single - Dream by Bobbie Gentry and Glen Campbell. First LP _ Abbey Road and/or closely followed by Led Zep 2. Didn't have much money at all in those days - most of it went on LPs (and the odd Ben Sherman) ! Couldn't buy Let It Bleed as my old man said he'd smash it if i bought it! I...

    Adam Active Bargain

    Really looking forward to your feedback. I have a Naim Unitilite (which I really like) and Epos es 14 speakers. Great combination. Have been thinking of a Naim muso QB - flexibility - movability USB - Spotify etc. But the Adam speakers (436£ the pair) Seem a great buy. I'm supposing that it...

    Critical systems

    One of the few I've followed from start to finish. Obvious (to me) from #1. The earliest AF1 I've come across - also liked seeing the minutae of some people's systems. Great acceptance of the humour involved by most - Nice one DDC! (to much BS on some threads - but not from you BS25!) tonky
