is food for thought. I am not convinced that the Tannoys as a unit will
withstand the test of time. They could very much be a step to something else |

This is very interesting perspective,
and I was thinking about it a few times. To have some sobriety in it we need to
know how it will end…

Actually, I more than disturbed with complexity of my
playback and the fact that it's complexity frequently do not deliver good
results. A few months ago, a dear audio friend have visited me, last time it
was 20 years ago, so naturally I would like Macondo Milq to do what they can.
It was 2 days visit, the first day we played analog only. Even I did not play records
for a few months I know that my also is very stable foe yar and so I did play
it. Even located off the listening spot I recognized that something is wrong. I
checks a few things that might be variable and after final confirmation I
declare that right now it should sound correct. it is still did not sound right,
it was severe loss of mid bass to the point that it's feels that turntable is
spinning faster. but everything that I know about the system suggested that
everything functional perfectly and I just refuse to acknowledge there's
something wrong, despite of the fact that something was wrong, and it was
clearly auditable. The digital sound was completely perfect, but analog was
horrendous, I check everything again and again and I did not see any reasons
why analog should be bad. my friend went to sleep at whole night I was fighting
with my analog and I still did not find what was wrong. next day we were
listening to digital only, and next two weeks I was continuing to be fighting
with my analog. I concluded that my CPU cartridge just died. A few months ago
it was perfectly fine and I did not spin lot of records lately , so I hardly
accepted it, as I did not detect gradual worsening sound in the past. it was a
moth before the whole Dannoy event started, sometime in July. I was considering
buying a different cartridge or rebuild this cartridge and investigated all
kinds of options. I even gave my cartridge to a local friend of mine who claims
that cartridge was perfect in his playback. I was continuing to fight with my
analog playback, and it did not give me pleasure. I have too much it is going
on in my life that to fight with stupid records is very much not my priority. Also,
I do not want to waste $10K for something that my not need to be replaced. Eventually,
Danlavy 2011, Dannoy and Remedios Project took my attention from cartridges and
about a month ago I found the reason why my analog was compromise. I found it
completely accidentally try to reach a dropped screw. it turned out then in a
very bottom end of my SME 2012 tonearm a spider built a very think spider net
leads between the end of the tonearm and stationary objects. That sucked out
live form the performance of my analog. One way or another but my entire analog
with my unique analog was not operable and I wasted huge amount of time to
debug it. I really hate those experiences …
