    Linn Sondek 50th anniversary, really that good?

    Yes I did! This is my old one, updated to the present full spec level. It is/was really good, but the Lp12-50 is far better than I expected. The spatiality of the reproduction is almost magical.

    Hallo from Germany

    And this is the second Christmas surprise. According to my dealer, this is the last NAGRA 7 that NAGRA Switzerland was able to deliver. 70 years edition, of course including a Swiss Army Knife! It goes perfectly with my NAGRA 6 anniversary edition.

    Hallo from Germany

    Thank you, the bass reproduction is excellent. The stage is in front of the head, where it belongs. A clear improvement compared to my Hifiman. The only thing I'll have to get used to is the weight.

    Tape Deck Owners: What % of your time do you listen to TAPE, DIGITAL or VINYL?

    To be honestly: Background listening - 90% digital but serious listening is 80% analog, dependent on the media available. I've many tape copies but even more vinyl so it may be 30% tape and 70% vinyl. Many Tidal or high-res files I copy onto my T-Audio and have the impression that it sound...

    First High End Turntable

    My first turntable worth mentioning was a Rega RP40 (picture) about 10 years ago. Before that, I only listened to CDs or cassettes since the 1980s.
