Today WGHB broadcasted live Marc-Andre Hamelin’s recital with Berg’s Op 1, Liszt’s Sonata in B minor , Debussy’s Excerpts from Préludes and some own Hamelin’s Etudes – a killing program but as insult of injury I detect that the sound was  very intere...

The Rockport Sirius 3 platter is around 30 Kg which suggests to me that you haven't seen, used or heard one. From your description, whatever it was that you did hear bears no resemblance to how it sounds. I can only assume that whatever it was, it wa...

They weren't 'selling' anything. You could ask about the Japanese GIP reproduction drivers or pick up a leaflet but no one actually mentioned them. The owner of Silbatone has another business making & selling cars. I don't think he's under any pr...

[quote user="jam"]I would agree that the RX-5000 has some advantage to the SX-8000 and I put the differences down to mainly the air bearing and construction of the platter which will cause softness and a lack of focus (some people may like this). T...
