I first bought a Obelik Si with its Psu and changed for a Obelisk Pre-monos combo. Quite different beasts, very fast and not far from being tube-like. The guy who bought them from me when I decided to move back to a Copland CSA150 integrated for convenience compared them with his Krell KSA50!

Well, your pictures with tidy sets put me to shame, but what the heck! My current dusty set: -Copland CSA150 -Holo Audio Spring 3 L2 dac -Lumin U2 Mini streamer with its psu made by Jacques -Old Stello CDT 100 -Transrotor DarkStar with Psu et Nagaoka 200 (not on pic) My speakers are French...

@Pkay: sorry, I didn't spend too much time on boards lately. Unfortunately, I didn't compare it with the Rega. I bought it second hand without any hearing before and I was only hoping that it will sound like my CSA28 with guts.

Funny, I was in the same search 4 months ago and was hesitating between Leema Tucana, Norma IPA140 and a few others because I needed XLR and pre input. I finally bought a Copland CSA150 and I'm quite happy with it. I've not tested its dac (I have an Okto Dac8) but the phono board is nice. It is...

Writing from the other side of the Channel, my mind is now totally made: - 2nd hand purchases from individuals is a total economical nonsense for any UE buyer : double VAT is a real pain - buying new from UK retailers is still an option, but as long as the sale is made with VAT off. Some...

My system in its last version

I own a Croft 7R and I'm waiting for a Copland CSA-28, one my previous amplifiers was a BAT 300X, all hybrids, I must admit that I have nothing against hybrids ;)

Paul, of course, I'm biaised but I would say that the 25RS is probably more precise and detailed thant the 25R (I used to have one) with a better sense of space and air. Besides this, its price is twice the price of the 25R and I wouldn't pretend that its sound is twice better too. It's a...

A pic of mine (the SHL5 are not far):

Maybe my Rock 7 could float your boat.

Hi, I have tried to connect to their website for one week or so. It seems to be down. Are they still in business?

Precisely, the Rock 7. I have never heard one but I refrained myself buying the WB because of the short film I saw and especially the "soldering thing".

I have finally chosen the Rock.
