I was considering them, but in the end went for Bose Ultra, ANC, works pretty good, bass is impressive, deep clean and rich. Bass performance I believe is as much about getting a good seal in the ear, so sometimes to check. The immersion sound setting is a big improvement

Already have Sure 535… plus iFi DAC

I avoided them based on reviews not sounding as good as others, plus not good reliability and quality. So far the BOSE are impressive

Ho ho ho

The B&O have been returned........ So BOSE Ultra arrived today...... The difference is comical. Have to say I'm quite impressed, SQ is just as good, more so when you switch the immersive function on. If the B&O weren't faulty they should be done under trade descriptions act !!!

Or should I not waste my time !!! Which I'm now wondering. I have some Sure 535 wired IEMs take an age to get seated nicely, so for some traveling I thought get some ANC in ear wireless., Read the reviews re Sony, Apple, BOSE, B&O ...... Wife has AirPod Pro2, not that impressed...

An older spec LP12 built by Peter@Cymbiosis to your spec and budget, he can "tune" it by choice of the range of parts he has to hand to the sound you're looking for. A later spec sounds better, but is more aligned to being accurate and hence closer to the digital sound. An older one has the...

Not sure I've ever though either the F8 or 12 are bass shy!! ... lean and clean and not boomy or boxy ..Yes. Signature upgrade Vs Linn Exakt now there is a thought. The upgrade kit could be better VFM without the silly fancy box, gloves and keyring! Are they important to people?

So bumping this old thread, as now after 3+ years of waiting/asking/suggesting PMC have woken up to the upgrade world !!!! With the release of the Signature spec crossovers. Anyone compared an original FACT to a Signature version? That said the 2.3K and 4K costs seem a bit steep..... Though...

Sorry to read this Colin, what is the saying? "Those that can, do.... those that can't, teach" Think you could mentor someone to continue the build and assembly work, what a mentor that would be as well for someone. Having had the pleasure to chat a few times while you reworked my...

I doubt any of the above do, plus you wouldn’t hear it.. as the amount would be tiny. bigger issues to fix or improve

Not sure why everyone is so fixed on speed. It’s motor vibration that is the key to sound quality.

Only used compressed air… mine was new. Otherwise I’d use Isoprol, allowed to evaporate, compressed air, Linn oil. Wouldn’t put any other oil in as it’s a contaminant.

I have run a QNAP NAS and Linn DS since around 2009. The original Akurate DS back in 2009 had the measure of a CD player back then (I also had a Unidisk 1.1 at the time) We have now had another 10 years of development and HD formats to choose from. Attempts to use a PC to feed a DAC has...
