Still regret having sold my Well Tempered Classic

PM sent

Thanks for that. I have heard Doublets in the past, very impressive. They seem to be quite rare, though.

Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately no international shipping according to item description...well worth investigating the Forests, though. They show up on the secondhand market over here in The Netherlands every now and then.

You're right, I should perhaps have mentioned more info on my current situation in the original post. Our room is pretty much rectangular, and measuring approximaty 10 x 5 meters since the renovation . It is a combined living/ dining room. The listening area is located on one side off the room...

We've recently extended our living room. We really love the extra space, but I can't get my current loudspeakers to sound right, no matter how I position them. Especially on lower listening volume, the sound is very thin and lacking bottom end with either Royd Minstrels or ARS Acoustica Celera...

The subplatter sits lower than the main platter. I cannot drive the main platter periphery directly: the main platter rests on the subplatter with a small amount of lateral play.

Hi, does anyone know if the Jasmine TM-R501 MKII external motor can be used to drive a subplatter TT? I have only seen pictures of them driving the main platter, but with a rather large pulley. If the pulley is replaced with one of a smaller diameter, could it work? The turntable is an Avid...

Do you think you can give me the specific type of powder-coating (brand, structure, etc) he used for it? Perhaps I can have it done over here in The Netherlands using the same product.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have had quite a few Olive sleeves that really benefited from being soaked in a dish washing solution overnight, but this specific one has some minor surface scratches. Will try the spray can tip, and can always investigate having it professionally re-painted or...

Has anyone ever had a Naim Olive sleeve re-painted with textured powder coating? I am considering having it done, but I'm kind of reluctant since I don't want the new finish to differ too much from the original. Tips and thoughts very welcome!

Just curious if someone on the forum has these speakers. I'm tempted to buy a pair and would like to hear some opinions. Current speakers are Neat Critique, amplification is Sonneteer Campion.

Thanks, that almost answered my question!

Hi, does anyone happen to know how much travel in height the VTA adjustment on a Roksan Tabriz allows? The stem seems to be quite long, but I can imagine the arm becoming less stable when mounted too high in the tonearm base collar?

The specific pair that's on sale does have the black texture finish. They are bi-wireable. I think I'll give it a go. Amplier used is a Sonneteer Campion.
