Powerage is my all time favourite, Down Payment Blues is my favourite track, closely followed by Sin City.. Listened to this album so many times and it still gets me boogeying every time.

Thanks all for the considered replies. Much food for thought. As Martin summed up so well, it seems the consensus is for speakers with high sensitivity. It may well be challenged somewhat with my current speakers, I might have to do some visiting of dealers to see it at its best. I'm going to...

Which model of Sonus Fabers were you trying it with ajm?

I would just like to return the compliment to ThELiZ, Adam was a gent. A very smooth transaction.

They're on the list muzzer!

Thanks all for the comments. I am somewhat nervous at this approach myself. Previously I have always auditioned kit before purchase. Unfortunately, this amp is no longer manufactured, there are no dealers to visit. This is a qualified gamble! Agreed not the smartest approach, but sometimes...

Thanks to all for the feedback. It's typical really, I've been looking for a nice set of SL2's for a long while. I have just been able to find some and now the Berning opportunity comes along at more or less the same time that might take me in a change of direction.. I think I'll have a...

Thanks Matt, I'll see if he responds. If not, I'll PM him. All the best, Stuart

I've always preferred to do serious listening in the dark, often with my eyes closed. I find it helps to build that emotional attachment to the music. Mind you, when I really get into it I can find myself cranking up the volume further in the dark. Another side effect is that I am more likely...

I can recommend it, it's a good watch and listen of course!

Not forgetting 'Powerage' for Down Payment Blues and Sin City.. heck the whole album!

The plinth has taken a few bumps and bruises along the way and the platter could do with a polish; the issues are purely cosmetic though.

Well I demo'd a number of options today: Rega RP3 with and without the PSU and RP6. I had hoped that this would be my starting point on the road to vinyl Nirvana, unfortunately neither did it for me I'm afraid. I then listened to what would be possible with a used LP12 setup. Sorry to all...

Consider myself warned PE.. Lets hope I hate it then and go back to my CD rips instead!
