    Degritter ultrasonic record cleaner

    I agree the machine is great when it’s working but completely unreliable and of course can’t be repaired. Audio Desk will offer a discount on a replacement but who wants to throw good money away on an un repairable record cleaner. Tried to buy parts from them but they don’t answer E mails...

    Stillpoints LP1 Record Isolator

    Your experience with the Stillpoints sounds good, as the clamp does not screw on do you have to leave the small washer off the spindle or is the weight heavy enough to push the record on to the platter ok?

    Merason Dac1

    Thanks Mark unfortunately the Pilium is going back to the dealer, I’m really going to miss it think I’d best get saving up. It’s probably the single best bit of kit I’ve heard

    Pilium Elektra DAC arrives at Rhapsody

    Been playing with my hifi again today, I put the MSB Discrete dac back into my system just to see if I was imagining just how good the Pilium is, while the Discrete is a bloody good dac it's nowhere near as good as the Pilium the sound just seems to shrink to the back of the room where as the...

    Pilium Elektra DAC arrives at Rhapsody

    I have to agree, I have a Pilium DAC on demo at the moment and I will be be buying it. This dac is the most natural dac I've heard to date and it's not even ran in yet. I have a Schiit Yggy and the MSB Discrete in my system and I know the Pilium is more expensive than either of those but I have...

    Krell KSA Amps and the Apogee Scintilla, which newer Krell models can drive a 1 ohm load?

    I think that the Antileon Signature was a fantastic amp the build quality was amazing, even the speaker binding posts had built in washers so not to damage the spade connectors, a feature that the Mephisto does not have and of course it sounded just beautiful

    Degritter ultrasonic record cleaner

    Good news got the Audio Desk up and running again took around 2 hours and £30.00 to fix, just a bit cheaper than Audio desk quoted at £750 plus shipping both ways plus vat. It's a great cleaner but any company that makes a £2500.00 machine that cannot be dismantled for repair is really taking...
