Gerry Rafferty's 'Get it Right Next Time'

yeah I read somewhere its a decent recording, guess it will flatter any system

 

[stevebrock]

PP, Did they do some factory 'tweaks' to make it sound a better amp?

Maybe you should of got an amp that sounded as good as it does today in the first place!

Honestly don't know where the headphones are. Little'un ponsed them yesterday to hear them thru her CD/radio player. They've both gone out and as my back is still recovering I'm not getting on bended knees (Rega owners take note). It'll have to wait until this evening.

I always point towards Southend when I take prayer

No idea. I do know that having the Leema back has put my usual smile back on the old boat...

Someone needs to say a prayer for them. Poor dears. Are Rega making prayer mats too? Is that to prevent scorch marks when you realise you have a wobbly platter?

 

[chebby]

Just played Gerry Rafferty's 'Get it Right Next Time'...

Painted above the door to Rega's QC area.

 

[plastic penguin]

Been on constantly since midday and not a whiff of heat. Phew!

 

[floyd droid]

Are you going to come clean and tell peeps its set up in the fridge.

 

[plastic penguin]

No, but I do have the fire extinguishers at the ready. :dance:

 

[floyd droid]

Well all seems good so far PP. Next up , when ye can find em . I await with the breath of batedness.

 

[plastic penguin]

Absolutely fine now. I used same headphones.

Not sure what Leema Acoustics are doing as they stated: "No fault found" as regards action taken, "Replaced internal cable as a precaution".

That is exactly what they said on the phone and the form in the box.

:?

 

[floyd droid]

But the cynic in me also says that maybe they don't want to admit their baby has a defective headphone socket.

Makes you wonder dunnit. No fault found , so twas your lugholes then obviously.

 

[plastic penguin]

I don't know what to do TBH. This latest episode has tainted my view of Leema Acoustics. Couldn't replace it at the mo with anything as good, apart from maybe a s/hand Arcam A38. Perhaps I should cut my losses and go with a Creek Evo2 or an all-in-one.

It's a shame because the Pulse is a genuine class act in pure SQ terms.

[stevebrock]

I know the feeling......feel let down with Rega, hope my faith is restored on Tuesday with there after sales care

Well at least you know they will look after you and not walk away from their responsibility.....getting exactly the sound you like isn't always easy to find.

Any affordable amp will be a sideways move, though you may be happy with it.....but you also may not.

My advice is to stick with the Pulse until you can go up a level....which may well mean keeping your eye out for something ex-dem, or an end of range sell out.

Well if they fixed the problem for free, who cares?! The beauty of the guarantee is that they will undoubtedly fix it if it goes wrong again and by the sounds of things, very quickly with minimal fuss or disruption.
