Funny noises about LP12's coming from the Private ads section

don't get me going on the bike thing again i've had so many i've lost count.
my favourite was a 650 enduro single i had 25 years ago. jesus could i wheelie that thing!

 

you could buy a couple of lear jets instead i think, and have change for a bentley continental

 

I don't remember My Bro paying that for one?

 

these manufactures are very clever, i am sure they give backhanders to all the magazines when they bring out new products. the boss of sme is a multi millionaire and the boss of linn must be a billionaire i think

 

Anyway... bbv over and out ... its all yours wadia-meister!

 

god don't leave me alone with him! i'm off aswell then nothing personal my friend.
bye nick speak soon i hope

 

Rudolph, you mentioned Chelmsford before in a post. Do you live near to there? I'm a dozen miles away in the greenery, just outside Maldon.

I've never heard a top flight vinyl system, so find this quite interesting. I note you only like the chord 64 dac for cd replay Brizon. Six of us couldn't tell the difference between the chord and a benchmark dac1 when swopping them over on ATC50's. Even the owners were oblivious. I expect you could put up with listening to the dac1 also.

 

i lived in wickford untill last year, i now live in sweden i'm affraid .you are still welcome over here to have a listen.
and i think you would be disapointed anyway mine is nowhere near TOP FLIGHT you need to rob a bank for that my friend

 

Im sure the views are better in Sweden! How do you find the winters there? I have a mate who's always going out there to see his family.

Ok, mid flight then. I've yet to get airbourne anyway,

 

dam cold it can go down to minus 30 in midwinter and during december and january there is hardly any sun at all, it's like living in a coal mine, but sweden is beautiful i won't come back to england to live again i'm sure of that.

 

Paul,

I am sure the benchmark sounds good! I prefer the pt decapo dac to the chord 64. Both dacs have a proprietary filter stage so that is definately an important factor.

Nick.

 

I've owned both the dac 64 and the benchmark (still have them some where LOL)
I use neither, personal perferences funny thing eh?

 

Do you use wadia?

 

Gee, dya think so?

 

Do wadia use prop filters? I have heard wadia - but in a dismal Classe / B&W N800 setup.

 

I've had some bad (and expensive) experiences with DACs. Finally decided not to bother with them and use the cd player untouched.

I have a Theta DAC and both my mate and I could not hear any difference the thing made to the cd player without it. Total waste of money and my most expensive hifi mistake.

I also have a NOS dac which I use in my 2nd bedroom system - takes the edge of a 17 year old Kenwood but relly doesn't make that much of a difference.

 

Most cdps and dacs use the same dac chips and filters and crappy o/p stages so it is not surprising they sound the same. Only a few cdps sound vastly different to my ears. Most of them used prop dacs or filters or had much better o/p stages.

 

so the dac route is over hyped then. my arcam cd92 sounds ok, so if i add a dac you don't think there will be that much difference then.
nick you swear by the pink triangle yes.

 

i must say i had a 2 box cd and dac a few years back and i could not tell any difference at all with and without the dac.

 

Sad thing is the Theta - which would cost a small fortune when new - didn't even make a difference to Kenwood cd player that is 17 years old.

Just goes to show how daft this hifi hobby can be sometimes - I was gutted
