| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Great question, no right or wrong answer here, this is purely a personal choice. In my case, the aesthetics of a HiFi system in my living room are important, I don’t want to look at an ugly collection of boxes whilst listening to music. Case in po... | |

| Vintage Gyrodec TT power supply question boywondr84, sure can, a lot more expensive than just replacing the power supply though. Have you checked which motor you have? Two ways to do this; send Michell Engineering your deck sn and they will tell you. Simpler, look at the motor, if there ... | |

| Was the upgrade from Alexia 1 to Alexx V worth it? I realize this post is about the Alexx V speakers, however, there is a very interesting review of the Alexia V speakers in the January 2023 issue of HiFi News. Ken Kessler concludes the review by saying, "....it makes little sense to spend more...... | |

| Changing panels in Quad Speakers What an excellent and informative post dogberry, thanks for sharing. | |
| Magico A3 to A5 I respectfully disagree stereo5, my A5s are driven by a McIntosh C52 preamp into a MC312 power amp. I have some 15ips 2T tapes that literally sound like live music in my home, that good. After nearly 55 years as an audiophile, rarely have I heard ... | |

| 45 Singles You Just Had to Buy What an interesting thought provoking post. In my nearly 69 years on Earth, I have only purchased one single, America by the Nice (Keith Emerson’s band prior to forming ELP). Wonderful music I can still hear playing in my head, what a great memory... | |

| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me I run a Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony in an SME IV tonearm on a Michell Engineering GyroDec. Sounds fine to me and tracks every disc I play, effortlessly. Including DD LPs cut at high levels. Sound quality using MFSL One-Step Ultradisc is about as g... |
