    Footie - sing when you're winning!

    Well last nights game was not in the script . Man City have been improving game by game and won allbthree played so far . New signings and the rereturn of Rodri were seeming to resolve the issues of last season . Then on paper a good knock out round draw against Saudi league winners . Dominant...

    Stack Audio Auva feet

    Not mentioned these here but the 50,s have been attached to my Quads for quite a while and really made a good improvement . As you move up the range things improve but they also get quite costly . I had avoided hearing either the 70,s or 100,s as if they were to prove really effective I knew...

    North West Audio Show 21-22 June

    As has been said the ignorance and stupidity of even thinking Vinyl is anything close to the future of music is so far from the truth . Expensive records which are often badly pressed and start to wear from first play. I am one of the older generation and thankful I was able to get decent...

    Nice to see pictures from older units .

    My cases for the P70 monos is picture 19 . However thanks to the kindness and skill of Mark and Paul it is only the case asbthey have put M600 mono boards , transformers and capacitors inside . This has resulted in me now having my end game amplification and since fitting them in and after burn...

    Digital Playback what makes a difference ?

    I have tried to leave this area alone and not get dragged down another rabbit hole which can cost both time and money . However recently a friend on another forum reported that they had bought this product and were impressed . So on ebay there was a b stock Stack Audio SmoothLan at £200 and as...

    For the love of Quad ESL57s

    Just have to report that my ESL 57 are just sounding wonderful and give so many shocks each day with what they reveal . I suppose for those who have never heard a fully set up pair the shock will be the quality of the bass . When it is recorded the Quads give real texture and depth to electric ...

    Well one out of two is at least a positive .

    Footie - sing when you're winning!

    Well it would seem both the team and the manager have already downed tools and are playing like these games do not matter . Having already won the PL it is understandable but as a fan I want us to win . Not expecting anything from Mondays game against Brighton and think Liverpool may well get...

    For the love of Quad ESL57s

    I understand fully that ESL 57 are sometimes difficult andbthat doubles for a stacked pair . Mine were quite sickly about six months ago and Andrew of AQuadthing shocked me with how much needed doing . Once fixed and back in my room it was probably five days of hard work to get them placed...

    For the love of Quad ESL57s

    Thank you Paul for starting this I really want othersbto hear my system and have a view good or bad . We listen often in isolation and if we are doing it right set up to suit our selves . A recent change I have made has done something I did not think possible and boosted bass too much and made...

    Speakers. What do you have? What have you had? What have you got on your wishlist?

    I have three main systems but will just deal with my main one . Speakers are Quad ESL 57 speakers I wanted for years but was put off by the accepted so called truths . They will not work in small rooms , they have to be well away from the back wall , they do not go loud , they do not do bass ...

    Footie - sing when you're winning!

    Sadly yes and they did not respond or even answer they had recieved my message for two weeks . Then out of the blue they answered and spouted the same sort of shrug response there is nothing we can do that the club did . I seem to get the impression that these fan attachments are more to give an...

    Footie - sing when you're winning!

    Life long Liverpool fan and been going to the match on season ticket for overbthirty years . Sadly as I have a disability which means I can not stand up and the rest of the crowd does I miss things like goals and end up seeing them on highlights . Complained to the club but got nothing we can do...

    Digital Playback what makes a difference ?

    Fully agree with the upsampling comment my Purcell has the option to switch depending on the original source . So if 44.1 then best sound is achieved at 176.4 but if 48/96 then best sound is at 192 . Playing any 44.1 material at 192 clearly shows this . Luckily I have a remote that means I can...
