Maybe just the effect of plug extraction<>insertion...I’m probably imagining this, but since altering my rack order, the vinyl sound appears to have improved. Must be imagining it. Do not succumb Del!

Or my imagination. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts. Probably until tomorrow.Maybe just the effect of plug extraction<>insertion...
So true ! Impossible to beat for the price and very decent.Mordaunt short pageant 2 <3
How does one define a 'modest system'..? headline names/kit, or .. the price actually paid..?
pfm had always been about utter-real-life VFM; and my heart is right there. I've been so content for many years now, on that basis.
Incredibly good compared to what? Binatone clock radio? Sanyo midi system?
Music to my ears..thankyouFor the outlay as per the thread, as in it would be hard work to find equal performance from different items of similar, humble cost. Easily blow away the items you mention...
@the caretakerThe (mostly my) "cast-offs" system one of my fiends uses is actually quite fun to listen to especially as she tends to turn up the volume. I had another listen when I dropped in to replace the failing Canary Audio 601 pre with an MFA Classic.
smallish unbranded music centre speakers with captive bell wire / Music First Audio Classic TVC / Avondale stereo power amp / Samsung BLURAY player / freebie interconnects
@the caretaker
This weekend I changed two interconnects...
While the friend was out feeding her brothers hens and rabbits,
The rabbits are definitely intended for the pot.If her brothers live primarily on a diet of hens and rabbits, I'm not surprised she insists they stay outside. One can only hope it doesn't adversely affect their hearing should they be invited indoors to assess changes in the system.
She's just ordered a pair of ex-dem Monitor Audio Bronze 1 speakers to replace the failing Akai-branded music centre speakers.@the caretaker
This weekend I changed two interconnects...
While the friend was out (...), I removed two pairs of grey cheap-nasty RCA cables.
I inserted
- a 1m pair of Cardas Crosslink II (perfect condition, unused 2nd hand) between Samsung BLURAY and MFA Classic ted pre
- a 50cm pair of Soniclink Silver Pink (from a Hammersmith show way back when) between MFA passive and th eAvondale build
The friend noticed the difference.
Next step will have to be to find some cheap but decent speakers to replace the music centre things (they're actually branded Akai) which have started to develop symptoms which remind me of cone surround damage.
My friend finally collected her Monitor Audio Bronze 1 speakers and has hooked them up with some 2nd hand QED that my dealer gave us. He was horrified at the idea of the Monster Cable which he thinks is better suited to towing dutiesShe's just ordered a pair of ex-dem Monitor Audio Bronze 1 speakers to replace the failing Akai-branded music centre speakers.
Should be able to find some 1980's Monster Cable or QED original in the spares box to hook them up to the Avondale build.
Should make for some interesting listening in August
