Klipsch are usually often available on the second hand market. Triangle stuff not so. But, yes why not, choose the one you like most... that kind of make sense.

yes, hopefully it will double as central heating too!

I happen to have both at home. They were both plugged into an Audio Note Oto PP. At around 12W, both speakers were delivering very comfortable listening levels for rock and other type of amplified music. I would say the bass on the Comete is more to my liking so is the naturalness of the tones...

A bit of a side step approach maybe, but what speakers are you replacing with the AN-K? And what do you use at the moment to drive them?

I have had an OTO in my system for about 3 weeks now. And a couple of days ago I did exactly what Coltrane and BigLebowski suggested and settled for the 4 Ohm tap (closer to the centre as described above on my recent '4 brass buttons' model). Nicer, fuller and overall less grating treble. My...

Big thanks to Geoff (oldius) for the fantastic audiomods tonearm which arrived at the speed of light and in top condition. Cheers Francois

You are absolutely right, and if they win with a majority in 2015, we are in for a hell of a ride! The country will look like an atrophy of itself with a overinflated, over blown SE England and a deserted rest living below poverty line! The Bigger Society in short!

Absolutely, the permanent denigration of the less well off and disabled ('surely they should work, walk, try harder...' kind of argument), the almost unashamed destruction of any form of social security and welfare system is always on display on a few tabloids. The Idea that the Tories could...

Especially when DC and GO pledge to reduce the deficit by any means by the end of the actual parliament...:confused: Why spend so much money on 'thin air' schemes with no guaranteed results in any European countries...

Of course but that's assuming you can save up some money. Not everyone has this luxury nowadays to be fair...

And let's not forget please that to enter university now, you need to fork out 9K a year! So all in all for an MA, you will start in life with at least 20K worth of debts... Here is a real incentive to 'wake up to the harsh reality of life' according to DC.

I stumbled across this one this weekend, and I thought it wasn't possible. But in fact it is and I am playing it right now. I have same config as you. laptop + Goflex Home + SBT + DAC So what I did, is store all my music on Goflex (copied my original MUSIC folder from laptop to Goflex...

easy answer is to use a Multimeter, switch it to resistance setting (OHM sign) One probe on centre of your whest plug, the other on the outer part of the whest plug... Read the result! and there you go...

A massive thanks to antinchip (Anthony) for a super smooth transaction and a mightily fine piece of kit (WHEST2 phono)! Well recommended!

That's weird because I have the very same problem with my phonostage too... I think your description is spot on. Like a bit of surface noise. Some kind of pop and crack, intermittent, and not in repeatable sequences... :( Mine is a 2 box valve affair. I am going to have a look at the...
