Thank you wainwj for your detailed write up of the Avalon Remade Speakers. I of course already knew how magnificent they were! You were brave to take a risk with them...however, I took a similar risk when I bought them from Highend Broker in The Netherlands...I was never disappointed, quite the...

Yes...I should have mentioned that I was also diagnosed with hyperacusis...this is a high sensitivity to loud and high frequency sounds...it is actually painful and for example...the clashing of plates and dishes is especially unpleasant. I now struggle with louder volume music too.

Thank you Mike...yes you are right...it is an excellent CD/DAC setup and quite underrated in my view. But time to move on and it's ok as I'm happy to do so. A couple of family tragedies last year helped to alter my outlook as well...so it all feels right and comfortable with me. I just want the...

Thank you for the wonderful replies so far. My day to day hearing is not too bad...although the tinnitus can be a nuisance. When listening to music at anything close to a decent volume, the sound becomes distorted and echoey...and the "stereo" imagery drifts to my left. I just don't enjoy...

Hi All There have been threads on here previously about hearing loss and tinnitus...I have been a sufferer for many years although I battled through when it came to my love of my HiFi and music. However, over the last year or so, it has become obvious to me that I can't enjoy listening to...

Will do!

Oh goodness..I had no idea...Amazing! In that case...could you pm me and at some point I could arrange to send it to you for a fettling...if that would be ok? Many thanks for your reply :)

Thanks for the info...much appreciated. The preamp is an Alchemist Forseti apd21a mk11....about 15 years old but sounds pretty damn good. I also love the design...and it was reworked by Tim de Paravicini. I may get it serviced and re-capped at some point Regards Andrew

Thank you...I try my best ;) But yes...they are nice amps...and unusual shape and design..and they sound tremendous!

Hi Jonathan - yes...her "crush" was from afar....whilst watching your Dad on TV....and whilst sitting next to my Dad in the living room...Lol! I do understand about the boxes though....which is one reason I'm trying to liquidate mine! Yes you can get email notifications on thread...I am getting...

I pulled a muscle when lifting them....so I went to see a Cairo-practor...at least I didn't have to call in the pyramidics ;) ..........I'll get my coat....

Unfortunately I don't have circuit diagrams, etc. and to be truthful...the replies from the company owner were a bit "cagey"...maybe he's just not very forthcoming. I will probably take them to a technician for a good nosey and see what they advise.

Hi Jonathan - as luck would have it, I just posted a similar thread i the DIY Forum, having purchased a pair of US made monoblocks. I too am asking the very same questions as yourself...however, it is helps...I have been using my amps (800w per channel jobbies!) using a pair of step down...

Hi All Just wishing to pick your brains if I may? I have a pair of US made Maker Audio high end monoblocks currently (no pun intended) running very well via a pair of Airlink transformers. The amps are Maker Audio REF2a monos....and they retail for $tupid money...Lol! When I bought them...
