    what was the last piece of hifi you bought

    Impulse purchase. All original (including the belt) so probably in need of a service kit. But for the moment, I’ve adjusted and hooked up. It sounds rather wonderful, which is a bit of a bonus considering it’s a work of art. Logic Datum arm and Westrak cartridge that I’ve never heard of.

    M M cartridge recommendation

    I've used a Clearaudio Maestro with a Technics SL1210G to great effect. An amazing MM cartridge. In my setup (SL1200G & Trilogy 906), the Clearaudio (very surprisingly) bested a Lyra Delos. As much as I loved the Lyra, the Clearaudio was just as engaging/detailed/dynamic, but a bit less...

    Going All-in-one

    For our living room system I recently swapped out 5 boxes for a Linn Majik DSM/3. Streamer (inc Roon) / DAC / phono / HDMI ARC / integrated amp / room optimisation EQ. Most importantly, highly configurable so easy to disable all of the the disconnected inputs, making it simple for the family to...

    Looking for an end game preamp. for ATC Active

    I’ve tried loads of preamps with ATC actives, as well as direct connection from DACs (including the DAVE). You won’t go far wrong with the latter assuming you only have a digital front end. A preamp can quite easily degrade the sound, but some did seem to be more resolving than a direct...

    What was/is your favourite CD player

    The B400XS is a cracking CD player. It’s the best straight CD player I’ve owned, although I have since had better DACs

    [WTD] SS Power Amplifier

    Actually the 4B is fairly compact for an amplifier of its power. 41cm (w) x 18cm (h) x 34cm (d). That would be fine. Smaller than a Tri-Vista (48x17x48) and psu.

    [WTD] SS Power Amplifier

    Thanks for all the posts. Never heard of Nurochrome 686 - one to research! @Mr Ian - thank you but collection might be a challenge. To give steer, this will replace a Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300, albeit that is obviously an integrated. I’d like a similarly capable power amp in a more compact...

    [WTD] SS Power Amplifier

    Im after a stereo power amp with balanced inputs, solid state, plenty of power. Not too fussed about age so long as it’s in excellent cosmetic and working condition. Budget flexible but ballpark £1k-£3k depending. PM if you have something that fits the bill please.

    Is that the original tweeter? I thought they were metal dome?
