Room treatments - a cost effective upgrade? You bet!
Having recently moved house, I was excited by the prospect of a dedicated listening room. My kit shared the lounge previously which was carpeted, had curtains and a number of soft furnishings. The room was about 5m x 6m and had a beamed ceiling with beams running perpendicular to the listening axis. It all sounded pretty good. This was my baseline moving to the new house.
In the new, dedicated listening room, the floor is not…

Yesterday I experienced the best analogue set up I have ever heard - bar none. The new Vertere turntables are just extraordinary and having smashed through the glass ceiling of analogue performance 30 years ago with the Xerxes, Touraj has taken it to a whole new level again with the RG1 & SG1 Touraj's passion for his designs is infectious. Here he demonstrates the…

Well the title of the post isn't very attention grabbing...unlike the Scalas themselves. I ought to write a fuller description than what follows.....but if truth be told, I have found it hard to tear myself away from the sounds these speakers have been making since James and Henry installed them on Friday... even to write this short summary.....!
After…

Touraj's new Tri Point Articulated bearing is yet another milestone in analogue design. What might appear to be a uni pivot is in fact anything but, avoiding the inevitable bearing chatter and preserving as much of the signal information as possible. On demonstration imminently.…

Matt from Chord was with us today, running us through their new ethernet cables. Compared to a standard patch lead the entry C Stream was a revelation, and the Indigo and Sarum Tuned Aray were just in a totally different league. If you are running a Naim streamer you have got to come and hear these cables, you will never know what your Streamer is capable of until you…

Just like the Alvo Aalto Stool 60 upon which it is sat, the Neat Petite is a triumph of modernist, pared back design and truly deserves it's iconic status. In this instance less is most definitely more and this clever two way communicates the musical message like few others.
The latest SX version is the ultimate iteration of…

Neil B had this to say about his recent cable evaluation:-

I found the detail of the component parts of tracks, specific instruments and minor ancillary parts to be astonishingly clear, yet also integrated overall into the music in a beguiling fashion.
