Dave- are we not being a tad pedantic and frivolous?, but thanks for clearing that up with us, the whole Gawdbless household can now get back to a normal sleeping pattern, the dogs can rest more calmly now, the horse has had a good night also.lol. To clarify because you are being so defensive, I did say your gear cost x amount of $$$, I did not say YOU paid x amount of $$$.
Shadorne, where did you get Lindfield from? We maybe talking about the wrong speakers, if you can hear a pair of Impulse H1's (sold around 1989 in the UK)you'll be lucky as there were only 19 pairs made, to big and costly for many UK audiophiles, due to the average apartment, house size being rather small compared to the US. Hey you got a Roland V kit?,very nice. I got the older TD-8 kit (in storage), always wanted to play drums (to amuse ones self with headphones of course, connected to a cheap player like the Playback Designs MPS-5 with AC/DC being played, 'Thunderstruck'....).lol
Your kit is really nice though, I would love the TD20.
Funnily enough the reviewer chap really rates Sony cd players especially the cheaper ones, there was one that he said go and buy like now a few years back before they sell out it was a 761es European model, it sounded excellent way above its price, although probably not listenable to Dave's ears. I too like to hear a drum sound like a real drum if possible, I can forgive things in hi-fi speakers but I do like to hear the kick drum have a real kick.
Relax Dave its only hi-fi forum banter.Nothing personal.
I did check their website playback designs to see if there are any dealers local to me so I could go and have a listen for myself. If hi-fi gear gets praised, then I always want to hear for myself.I only comment of gear I have heard myself.
