Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

Nostalgia is a very strange phenomenon

Not really. Not at all in fact.

I'm starting Ito think the big advantage of speakers is you can only buy one pair at a time 🙂

Correct, it's perfectly natural

Nostalgia is often very inaccurate. People frequently have a rose-tinted view of the past.

That depends on what you're looking to recall. I agree when it comes into this notion that everything was better in the 40s and 50s (it wasn't) but not for a whole bunch of other stuff.

LMFAO, okay I was wrong 🙂

Trust me, that’s not strictly true! (I’ve only got four pairs at the moment!)

But they're not all in the same room are they, are they?

@Shrek look forward to hearing your thoughts on Planars & the JT7 once you've got to know them 😊


It's a nice looking unit 👍

I pulled the trigger yesterday at just before 15:00 expecting it to arrive tomorrow, turned up at 10:30 this morning.

Its a really solid unit I think because of the side wooden panels and the face plate , then the feet really grab at the shelf when you set it down its sat down, if that makes sense.

Connected it coax out to my amp (NAD M17v2i & NAD M23) straight out of the box it sounded congested and confused by bass lines so I turned off the amp and stuck it on repeat for a couple of hours to warm up. (When I say warm up I mean reach operating temperature.)

I've been listening to it for the last 3 or 4 hours and I'm really happy with it, sound stage is wide , high and deep. instruments are well placed and distinct .

I've played a couple of "test" discs and then after that I've been feeding it with a lot of 80&90s compilation CDs because they're party CDs and badly scratched and abused its played them all.

The remote feels like you found it in a Christmas cracker but it has a good angle of response.

I say don't be put off by the discounted price its a genuine bargain.
