    Guys,

    What about asking them to send us one, for a limited amount of
    time (of course!;) ) so that we, in this respectable and respected
    forum could write a review? :JPS:

    once we get to the conclusion that is pretty good, it won't
    hurt their sales one single bit!!!

    (hell, if it works we could have a model to follow in our hands!)
    :cool:

    Jack

    Ooer. If we did that Roy Gregory'd really come gunning for us :)

    Nice idea, but the word "unlikely" pops into my head, sorry to say :(

    they say the relaxa 3 cant be used with TT due to stronger magnets.

    You are of course right penance old chap, but seeing as how i am not in the market for one and I don't have a TT then i never really noticed., Oh and catalogue has Relaxa 1 at £385.

    Paul,

    Oh yeah - looks like the same idea (though a lot more atractively executed). I have a vague memory of Ken Kessler going on about these a while back. Or is that my imagination?

    Penance,

    ... which is why I asked the question of Brian at DIY HiFi. Powerful magnets and carts? Still remain unconvinced.

    The geek in me fancies trying one (no cartridge to worry about)but the price is a bit on the ridicalickalickalus side, so prolly won't bother.

    Isn't that one more reason to do it?!

    :devil:

    i know, it is unlikely... but there's lots of mags out there doing
    it, so RG already has competition...

    what's wrong with a group of us doing it as well? perhaps
    we're not seen as "experts", but
    a) we're not claiming to be
    b) we're not in the business of selling anything (ie magazines)
    so we could have a balanced panel and all... theoretically...

    oh well, it would be fun... :MILD:
