The Neats have been moved and moved
Now that the Neat MF9s have run in and stabilised it was time to spend some time moving them a few centimeters at a time to find a more ideal position.
Blu-ray has landed
Finally made the decision to experiment with Blu-ray and took advantage of Blockbuster’s deal to carry one home. It took about two hours in all to connect it to my Naim n-Vi and Panasonic Plasma via an Aten HDMI switcher and Chord Company HDMI cables. Actually possibly the most time consuming elements were reprogramming the…
Funk LP12 Vector Link
All the kit of parts of my new Funk Vector Link arrived on Friday. Fit and finish look good. Reading through the installation instructions it appears that there is a good deal of work to do in fitting it. Not being a LP12 guru I have asked a friend who is to assist with the…

Record Cleaning Shocker
Last night I visited a friend who was borrowing a Keith Monks Classic Record Cleaning Machine. I arrived to find a large pile of cleaned LPs and a man excitedly playing a track from a record, cleaning it and then playing it again. I know KM is a client and I’m therefore biased, but the…
Just sold my Epos ES30s
Sort of sad to see a pair of loudspeakers go that I have been listening to and enjoying for around 10 years. Strangely, looking back, it seems I change speakers around every decade. The Epos’ have a wonderful way of communicating music but having recently had the Neat MF7s here for a month or so…
Closed minds
I’ve been reading audio forums for years and they have always had their share of posters that can’t seem to allow others to take pleasure in their purchases. As an example someone might post how they have purchased a new cable and are very pleased with the improvement it has brought to their system. The…
