    bass boom

    I don’t disagree and my comment was somewhat paraphrased. I also agree regarding your comment on speaker placement, but the reality of most U.K. homes is that ideal speaker placement is seldom possible and often even ‘ideal’ placement does not totally alleviate bass gain.

    Audio Deluxe show march 23/24th

    Oh, and of course I attended one* of the Absolute Sounds demonstrations. This involved Magico speakers Dartzeel amps and Döhmann turntable. The sound was characterised by a very clear room mode and bass ‘bloom’. The second half of the demo was presented by Mark Döhmann** who amazed us all by...

    Replacing Epos ES14s

    Eventually, I replaced mine with Yamaha NS-1000Ms - I don’t know what a good pair cost.

    Audio Deluxe show march 23/24th

    Hi, I (we) attended on Sunday but I did get to hear both the speakers you mention. Most of my audition was using the smaller pyramid like speakers but I did get to listen to the large Marten like speakers with the expensive Accuton drivers. The pyramid shaped speakers were excellent and not...

    bass boom

    Some frequency response modulation from room modes is inevitable. As the frequency drops the standing waves become more difficult to treat and wall diffusers, damping panels and ‘bass traps’ become less effective (or entirely ineffective). The only way to deal with the 50Hz ‘room boom’ typical...

    Audio Deluxe show march 23/24th

    I attended the show with a couple of friends (hey Si and Dave 🤗). Small but beautifully formed would be my assessment - free coffee and wine, pretty girls to guide your way, all shows should be like this (yes Chester group I’m looking at you). Anyway, the three of us listened to all the gear...

    Bristol Show 2024

    On Friday the Supatrac room was using KEF R3 Meta, but on Saturday and most of Sunday he was using the outstanding Reference Fidelity Components (RFC) Rubatos (similar size and similar money at £2,000.00).

    Rattle in speaker - solved!

    I once had a chap bring in a video recorder that his kids had loaded with jammy toast. One day I unboxed an Arcam tuner to find it sounded like a bunch off loose stuff was inside it. So I took the top off and it was like a kit, everything was there but nothing was put together!

    Those are two designs I’m surprisingly experienced with, and I can tell you that both are remarkable!

    Does anyone have a vinyl only system?

    I have a vinyl only system. I do also have a Revox R2R but it’s not connected up. I use Spotify in the car.

    The Death of the Vinyl Revival

    My 22 year old nephew tells me there is a new, new vinyl revival happening - but then he does refer to records as ‘vinyls’…. Personally, I receive at least four email every day offering me new and rereleased vinyl, so if there is a decline it’s pretty subtle.

    Tune Dem Experiences

    I haven’t been involved in retail for nearly thirty years now so couldn’t comment on more recent sales tactics. However, Linn always leant toward a fundamentalist approach. The reality is that the ’house sound’ of Linn equipment, and the people who have created it, has changed dramatically in...

    Housing market

    Putting pressure on landlords to sell property isn’t the solution. What is really needed is for more affordable accommodation to be built. There’s no point in bringing housing to the market if prospective buyers can’t afford it!
