Lot of daft comments from both sides of the sports vs cruisers. Egos getting a little bashed gents? My daily ride is breathed on TL1000S with all the bells and whistles and nothing beats getting the gearing right on my favourite twisties.. But then again, when im in the right mood, on the...

Suits you sir? Current 'exdem' prices : http://loricraftinternetshop.co.uk/ ;)

Interrupted is an understatement. If I went through the trouble of getting it out of the box, I would normally line up 20 or so records to clean. That's a couple of hours of pointlessness as far as listening is concerned. The final thing to consider is the loricraft actually does a better job...

Santa brought me a LCR4. Streets ahead of the 16.5 that I grew to loathe. Damn thing was far too noisy and laborious. Heartily recommend the Loricraft although the 4 is quieter than the 3 due to having a balanced double ended pump. EDIT: Managed to clean records AND listen to music...

Dont know and dont particularly care. I chose one over the other by listening. Amazing i know! :o Forgot to add, there isnt just one filter with the Bricasti, theres actually around 16 of them now with the latest software upgrades. A tweakers delight you might say, but importantly the unit...

.....and here we go with the age old argument. Again, in contrast, i thought the weiss missed this golden grail of transparency you seem to hold dear by removing certain aspects of presentation that i enjoy. As per my previous post, the 202 lies just on the wrong side of neutral. Is the M1...

I say tomatoes, you say...... I agree, but not with the 'much' part. As a contrast, i found the Weiss to be just on the wrong side of neutral, bordering on sterile, hence the change. Unsurprisingly, the M1 with no filter applied sounded very similar to the Weiss. Conversations with DW...

Interesting....when is this bake-off likely to be? To the OP, I own an M1 which very easily replaced a Weiss 202. No contest in my system but then i only use a cd transport and have yet to venture into the world of computer audio. I dont however, consider it the be all and all so very...

For that reason Gary has a very good relationship with his suppliers/manufacturers as he tends to keep his goods close to the rrp. True, he cant/wont compete with the box shifters but the aftersales service is excellent and any problems ive had in the past are quickly resolved. I doubt...

Oh that's right, im single handedly responsible for the shutting of down of these outlets despite the ever present downturn and the occurrence of less expensive avenues for them to sell. Get real, the world has changed and the rightly or wrongly, the internet rules so deal with it. As for the...

Maybe, but sometimes a little more informed answer would be nice rather than people just spouting off for the hell of it. These days i think we can all assume that google will be the first port of call, it was certainly mine when trying to find a vinyl version of a cd. Unfortunately, the...

Couldnt agree more. Never know, might convince Mr PF to start stocking new albums!! I certainly would put business his way. err yeah. Well done for contributing to what could be a useful thread. All my local 2nd hand shops have disappeared, and im buggered if i have the time or motivation...

Im sure this has been asked before but which sites do people recommend for buying new vinyl? Im sick of forking out for so called 'mint' albums off ebay only to send them back. I've just been on the Stamford site but tbh, the choice seems very limited. Also, is there a site to check if a...

I can understand this if you took things to the extreme but do you think a small percentage over the original weight would have much effect other than maybe quicker bearing wear? Im referring here to any point loaded bearing rather than the supporting bush further up the spindle. I would think...
