Flat earth systems that really worked well

Had a DAC-R, Brio-R and RS1 system, regret selling the RS1 speakers, sold them on for £150, never did find a speaker that worked as well in the old house kitchen/diner. Regret not buying a Cursa/Exon/Dynaudio system when I had the chance at a cracking price a long while back.

RS1's have that most important attribute: they're fun to listen to.

Very nice!
Not financially possible but I wish I'd been able to keep each system I'd bought and make use of it in another room or something. Would have been nice to start from scratch but also keep the old one as a reference. Not easy with Briks though
Was Karma above Asak/Asaka then?

Karma was a lovely cartridge, so good they painted it red, put another hole in it and, lo, a legend was born.

Hi,
Yes the Karma came after the Asak, think the Asaka came after the Karma, cannot remember.
The Trokia is the red bodied cartridge that came after the Karma had an extra hole for mounting on the Ittok, some think it is the greatest cartridge ever, I have to say I preferred the Supex SD900.

When I auditioned the Troika I felt it wasn't good enough to trade in my nearly new Karma, but I only had an LP12/Ittok with 42.5/HiCap/250 so I may not have "got it".
When my Karma got tired I was disappointed with the Klyde.

I believe the Nait 2 was voiced for LP and considered strident with cd. It'd be even more flatter eartherer with an LP12 tho!

With a TT the 32.5/110 worked fine, when I tried using my Sony ES CD player it made for an unpleasant sound, too harsh. Was just a bit of a swap around, if longer term I'd have got some Rothwells in there to try out.

Yes, me too; I tried one in a second system for a while. I never had a Karma, I went straight from an Asak T to a Troika. I have two at the moment, the original that I had from new, has an ESCO retip, and another is a goldring rebuild.
