    Knee brace for skiing trip next year

    Thanks to all for various recommendations. In the end I went to Active8rehab in Chertsey. Bit further away from me but physio there (Dave) very helpful. Picked up my brace yesterday. Now the hard part - fitness training for the next 12 months!

    Unusual speakers

    Gradient have been producing “Nordic” style speakers for a very long time and have a decent pedigree for sound quality too. See Gradient.fi website. The visuals are contemporary and I have a set of gradient 1.4 that I alternate with Quad 63. They use concentric drive units (I think) and...

    Knee brace for skiing trip next year

    No recovery possible. The ACL has gone. Alternatives are brace or reconstruction. Don’t fancy 9 months of rehab after knee op.

    Can a Nait 2 drive Yamaha NS 1000 (M)s?

    Tried Leben cs300X with NS1000. Good result. Ditto a Net Audio modified Quad 303.

    SPU on a 301 - tonearm choice?

    I use a Schick tonearm with an SPU and am pretty happy with it. Mine is the 12 inch version but I believe they can now be ordered in 10.5 and 9 inch versions too.

    What was/is your favourite CD player

    Trichord Genesis 3 was nice. Converted pioneer player I recall. Resolution audio opus 21 - kept it for 15 years I think. Lovely. Now a Rega Isis. Great s/h buy.

    [WTD] EAR 534 power amplifier

    (Very) long shot - looking for a 534 power amplifier to use with a 912 preamp. Please PM.

    Dilemma: Klipsch Cornwall IV vs Tannoy Kensington SE

    Valve anxiety might be addressed via the Leben cs300xs etc. Assuming you don’t chase after NOS types I would expect that the replacement cost of the EL84 it uses would be hugely less than a set for the Cary. On that basis, if you were really fretting, you could simply refresh them more often...
