Furious agreement with all of that. Ivor’s best comment about the parliament was of course his one at its inauguration in 1999…

More armchair CEO stuff. Linn’s recent accounts are pretty open about the market risks the business faces. They turn over £131k per employee. Not a ginormous margin given the skills/salary profile of the workforce and capital intensity of the business. All of which is acknowledged in the risk...

Which is quite ironic given Ivor is an actual Tory of course ;-)

No… he sold the design to Roksan for the Sara

I’m lucky enough to have both LP12 and PTA… although have never compared them head to head… must sort that!

Reasonable chunk of public money behind that product as well https://gtr.ukri.org/organisation/7976045D-48E5-420E-8448-F5FC64332A4A

I emailed the helpline to ask. They said Tidal had withdrawn support for Kazoo. Pity there isn’t a desktop version of the new app because I like to browse from my Mac when listening while working…

The move from the standard Cirkus subchassis to a (second hand) Kore was probably the single biggest upgrade I’ve ever experienced with my LP12. They do appear used via good dealers who can fit them, and that’s an excellent path IMHO.

Yes, your approach on this thread is pretty consistent with the definition of sealioning… You’re moaning ad nauseam about the depreciation period of a luxury purchase in a niche sector not being long enough when it’s 10, 15 or 20 years or more. Forgive me if I think this is more than a little OTT.

... 73 messages (and counting) and all except one on one of two rant threads...

I had to rethink because used Akurate prices fell through the floor...

Sorry, I'm not.

I never got on with the Etymotics. I thought they were extremely bass light. I swapped them for a pair of Ultimate Ears (the ones below the Triple Fi’s which I couldn’t afford) and they were brilliant for 10 years or more.

Thanks. A Primare AV receiver is definitely on my wish list. Those Perlistens are very reminiscent of upper Dynaudios...
