Good call.matt49 said:The Sonos ZP80/90: highly innovative MESH networking, and a GUI that was a doddle to use. This made high quality streaming a reality regardless of budget.

That's okay - far better than I expected.CnoEvil said::silenced:plastic penguin said:I know I'll get slaughtered - IMHO, the bass on the Pulse is sublime. Within the £2k integrated bracket I've not heard such control. (But haven't heard all sub-£2k integrateds).
I know what you mean, as I'm getting on a bit!CnoEvil said:Game changing kit I've never heard of.......must be my age, and luddite status with all things technical. :doh:Al ears said:I'd add on the Colorfly C4 Pro. It certainly changed the way I listen to music on the move and has recently spawned a whole new list of similar machines, from the likes of Astell & Kern et al.
Agree, should surely be added to the list.Electro said:A little predictable coming from me but very much a game changer in amplifier design .
The original Electro 25 watt " 2 Channel Audio Power Amplifier " designed by Dr Matti Otala and Jan Lohstroh in conjuction with Per Abrahamsen and others .
Some info and history about how it came about .

What with this and the LS3/5A, we're not miles apart in our thinking.chebby said:And this of course...

The first ones were marketed as the 'Richard Allan A21' in 1968, but after a few months their manufacturer started making them with his own name on the front.
And they are still making them.
Sorry about duplicates from your list, I hadn't read all of it apart from the bit about SL6 tweeters.CnoEvil said:What with this and the LS3/5A, we're not miles apart in our thinking.
You are making a better case for them than I was, so feel free to carry on.chebby said:Sorry about duplicates from your list, I hadn't read all of it apart from the bit about SL6 tweeters.CnoEvil said:What with this and the LS3/5A, we're not miles apart in our thinking.
Hmmm, not sure about that.......I think you are going to have to nominate a TT, and not just a little bit of one.mikeparker59 said:What about the change from shellac 78's to Vinyl 33 1/3?? with the component being the change from metal needly to sapphire or diamond stylus?
I was thinking of the change from scratchy mono to the relative quietness of vinyl and the further development of stereo following the adoption of vinyl.CnoEvil said:Hmmm, not sure about that.......I think you are going to have to nominate a TT, and not just a little bit of one.mikeparker59 said:What about the change from shellac 78's to Vinyl 33 1/3?? with the component being the change from metal needly to sapphire or diamond stylus?![]()
I know you were, but that's an evolution of format rather than of kit......though I take your point.mikeparker59 said:I was thinking of the change from scratchy mono to the relative quietness of vinyl and the further development of stereo following the adoption of vinyl.

All entrants are welcome.....although a little justification of why the nominations are worthy of "game changing" status, would be even better.MUSICRAFT said:Hi plastic penguin
Most of the list of components are no longer in production and from some manufacturers that we don't deal with. Hopefully this shouldn't be a concern
All the best

It was a great deck (I owned one), but was it really that much better than the likes of Pink Triangle, Michell Gyrodec, Townshend Rock and Roksan Xerxes etc?Jim-W said:The LP12 certainly changed the game at the time, controversy raged later.
I've no idea if it's better than those decks tbh; only heard a Gyrodeck. I wasn't trying to suggest it was the best turntable, unlike Linn!, but in terms of the splash it made at the time, Linn's claim or fans' claim that it was the best turntable in the world, must have forced others to up their game or at least market their products more competitively. I think in that way, it changed the game ie the way it affected the market. I'm going to whisper this very quietly: I actually prefer the Axis.CnoEvil said:It was a great deck (I owned one), but was it really that much better than the likes of Pink Triangle, Michell Gyrodec, Townshend Rock and Roksan Xerxes etc?Jim-W said:The LP12 certainly changed the game at the time, controversy raged later.
