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

yes. I didnt like the delphini and dino that much but the diablo is much better. upgrade your phono before upgrading the motor psu

 

sorry chelmsford
. but that was 10 years ago i'm affraid.

had it set up at doug brady in the end. still no good

 

what would you recomend around the 1000 quid mark

 

Curently using the Dino+ with the upgraded psu and power supply cable.

The NC upgrade is tempting cos I do like the Dino+, but that diablo keeps calling me.

 

The Whest is also VERY good.

 

Griffo - go for the diablo.

Rudolph - diablo or a mg+. Or go diy.

I have heard good things about the whest.

 

i find the dino good, much better than the iso i had.


when will this ever end? should have bought a hifi from argos.

 

The mg+ sounds better than the dino to me - its an iso plus lithos discrete voltage regulation. Big improvement.

 

i worked

at the chelmsford branch then but i was not involved in the setting up of linns as i was into the roksans and michells etc.
i don't recall you by name ?
who set your linn up ?

 

my friend with the rockport sirus recomends the whest and he knows his stuff i can tell you. bbv have you heard a rockport?

 

all i will say is my name is graham and i bought a roksan in aswell.

all i can remember is he had black hair. was it robert or something

i got the lp12 second hand and you all came out to have a look at it, and were amazed how much i paid for it.

 

I havent heard a rockport.

 

i was a right pain in the arse. how long ago did you work there?

 

100 grand's worth of deck all i can say is i want one

 

hi

i don't remember anyone being a pain in the arse.
i worked for rayleigh on 4 different occaisons. between about 89 till 98 and over approx 6 years.
what arm and cart did you have on your xerxes and what finish was it ?
as i sold hundreds of xerxes.

 

I have heard they dont stay working for long ;-)

Have you heard it yourself?

 

I was lucky to listen to this (I assume it's the sirius you mean) once at the Heathrow hifi show about 8/9 years ago. The room was packed solid and they spent about 15 mins setting the cart up on a parallel tracker.

Sadly the room was packed and people kept moving around in front of the speakers - and the room wasn't the best.

Sounded ok but would have loved to have listened to it under proper conditions. The only other thing I remember about the demo was the Accuphase PSU/conditioner as I had no idea what the hell these things were at the time.

 

i got the xerxes from a dealer in barking, hyper fi i think ,anyway they wern't a proper dealer so i brought it to you to set up. it had a rega 300 and nagoka cartridge.

and in 89 i came to you lot and had an ittock fitted to my lp12 with oc7 cartridge.
jesus that sounded bad. i think the basic plus was better. ittock to good for the lp12 i think

 

yep my friend has one it is as good as you can poss get.

a bit ott though. am i jealous ...... yep. need to sell the wife to buy one though.

 

bbv could you please give me the exact name of that dac you recomended. i will try to find one.
