Hi Mo, thanks for the welcome.

The furry thing is my wife's music loving rabbit. A particular fan of Beth Orton TBH.

Robosapien is still under training to bring my music as and when required, difficult bugger he is but learning fairly quickly.:D

I had my tonsils out a few years ago and had to stay indoors, and try and minimise contact with other people for a while after while it healed. One of my brothers bought me a robosapien to keep me company :)
I think where you could improve his capabilities would be introduce the rabbit! You control the robosapien, and get him to control the rabbit. The rabbit has the advantage of being able to climb and may be better at collecting your music of choice.

Maybe invest in some spider monkeys too!
 
Just for a laugh really...

Very Nice

Hi KOI

Well, very nice indeed. How does the Audio Valve pre go with the Electrocompaniet power amp. I have an Audio Valve RKV head phone amp mk 2 its very good. The Well Tempered Turntable :)looks nice(I think that what it is). Years ago when I first got into the trade we used to sell these. Weird arm that looked like it would not work but it did, Bill's a very clever designer. How do you finfd the Finite Element stands, are they a big improvement on what you had before?

Regards D Louth 77:)

Answer to first question Very good a really nice smooth and also dynamic sound in to my Sonus Faber Cremonas

The finite stands are awesome and i was once a skeptic with regard to stands but when you try these stands you just smile :)and if your patient (they dont come up for sale often) you can obtain them at the right price

Thanks for your comments

Hi KOI your very welcome, looks like a nice system. Just before I was made redundant I had heard the Electrocompaniet kit at last years Sept hi-fi show. I was very impressed with it and the owner of the company Mikial. I got to have a play around with some of the kit in my own set up and I liked it very much. however I did not get round to trying it with other makes of kit.

It does not take much imagination to feel that you have a very good sounding system. ENJOY.

Hi!

Hello, I'm new to this forum, but it's good to be here. Living in Devon in remote inspiring location, I'm listening to:

Epos ES11s
Audiolab 8000a
Sugden SDT1
Van Hul interconnects

Also working in studio with Event monitoring and TC Electronic Digital to Audio conversion.

Also hoping at some point someone will sell me a Sugden A21a.

Oh, and I have an old pair of ARC 101 speakers from years ago - any opinion on them?

:-)
 
i use an sdt1 with an a21ai, brilliant player and the synergy between the two is good, in my system they also respond to power cable changes ? uses a philips 1541a , very nice.
