    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    Excellent - I'd look forward to it - you can hear the MusicMaker MI cart as well. I'm liking it so far. I'm not especially busy atm - so maybe next weekend? Andrew

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    I used to own the ADS, and now own the KLA, so feel I can speak to both. I mainly have old, and in some cases, fairly grotty records to clean. Not much new classical being released to vinyl.... After much back and forth I feel the KLA does a better job of cleaning the grooves than the ADS, but...

    STACKED PAIRS OF ESL-57's WITH SUPERTWEETERS - ANYONE STILL HEARS THESE SPEAKERS?

    I like my ESL's and have heard stacked pairs in the past +/- subs. I suggest that the 2905 (when they are working - QC is a problem) is a better overall (more coherent) speaker than stacked ESL's . But there is something about the mids of the original ESL's that for certain music - vocal /...

    H3000 - unimpressed so far - what am I missing?

    Gents Thought I would drop back in here and apologise for the virulence in my posts - I was obvious stressed and upset. Suffice to say I have sold the H3000 to someone in Melbourne who, after replacing the rectifier tube, is very happy with it. It suits his ears very well. Not sure I would...

    Frugal Integrated Amps

    exposure 2010 s or s2, both excellent - punchy and transparent. Croft Integrated with phono - marvelous MM stage; nicer again with rolled tubes.

    Philomena

    Saw this last Monday with my wife. What a lovely movie. I dunno - I liked Dame Judy just as much as Kate Blancett in Blue Jasmine ( which I found quite self indulgent by Allen). Steve Cooghan did the screen play. 2 Thumbs up from me.

    Searching for a phonostage

    Great post! and of course defer to your experience. I was posting about my general impression of Nagra, so in hindsight could have bene leading the OP completely off track. I'd say get demoing! - if you have access to those great brands, borrow each for a week and see what you think. Cheers dr

    Searching for a phonostage

    I don't think you should be heading down the Nagra path if you are after sweetness and warmth. That isn't how I would describe Nagra. More insightful, transparent, dynamic, super clean and slightly on the ..errr...cooler side of life. I haven't heard the PH 6 - so cannot comment. What is the...

    H3000 - unimpressed so far - what am I missing?

    Nope - no axe to grind - I was just putting down the facts of my experience. More fool me for buying on reviews. As I have said - all power to the people that like the stuff - just not my experience. Most people that spend 10-12k on a piece of gear (or in my case 17k on two pieces) don't tend...

    H3000 - unimpressed so far - what am I missing?

    You were defending the brand you sell while at the same time advertising yourself by extolling the virtue of "good" dealership support. And criticising me for good measure. Nice. @Microstrip - glad you have had a good experience with Lotus and Allnic. I wouldn't go near Lotus after this...

    H3000 - unimpressed so far - what am I missing?

    Or the H3000 is just a ordinary with a big price tag. As for the rest of your post Lotus...all I will say is I am not selling anything and you are.

    McIntosh MA275- what a beauty!

    I'm guessing the MC 275, actually they put out closer to 90wpc - terrific amps - much under rated IMHO.

    H3000 - unimpressed so far - what am I missing?

    All well - there you go - perhaps I had a dodgy unit, or a tube was on the way out or something, or we hear different things. Anyways - I repeat - all power to the folk that like the Allnic gear. Not wanting to rain on anyone's parade..

    H3000 - unimpressed so far - what am I missing?

    I thought the H3000 brightly etched and lacking body when I had it. It was flat and without any depth or body, veiled is a word that comes easily to hand. It wasn't all bad - on occasion it sounded ok to me. Esp with simple music. But mostly just... ordinary. I have heard the Ypilson SUT in...

    KL Audio Record Cleaning Machine vs Audio Desk Systeme

    My take on it is the KLA is a better mousetrap - maybe. Either way the AD still works fine as a mousetrap..

    H3000 - unimpressed so far - what am I missing?

    Guys I know you all love your H3000's and more power to you. I'm not trashing anyone, or questioning anyone's buying decision's. I'm speaking from my direct experience after ponying up nearly $17,000 to buy into the Allnic brand. My conclusion...I just didn't think the H3000 or the T2000 were...

    Myles with all due respect - you don't go spending 12k on a phono and have to go tube rolling to get it sounding half decent.....I mean really....
