Review: Paul Hynes Design Phono Stage Tube preamp
This is a small addendum, and follows an e-mail I got from Mr. Hynes.I would like to STRESS that the hum/buzz that I encountered was very much dependent on the time of day - ie. the problem only seemed to occur in the evening. This would suggest i...

Review: Integrated Engineering Solutions Rennaisance Preamplifier
Hi mate, thanks for reading and posting, I always like a bit of feedback, even if the reader thinks I talk crap and disagree!I'll have a look in my stash of Hi Fi plus magazines for the issue - I think it was the last one of 2004, but I will post ...

Whest Audio ps.20 phono stage w/.20 power supply
Hi - you should read my review in Audiogon 
Need to re-discover analog - please help
I have read a few of the responses, and have to agree in particular with Flyingrad. I haven't hear a teres in the UK, so I can't give an opinion.With your budget You really have the pick of decks. I myself had a £7000 budget and bought an Amazon m... 
$6-7k to Spend on Turntable
If you are to retain the SME IV you should go for a deck that synergises well with it. As such you should first consider both the SME model 20/2 and the Model 10. You should also consider the Avid decks by Conrad Mas - fantastic decks that are oft... 
Can almost anyone learn to set up a Cartridge?
I agree with flyingrad and Johannantais. I will also add that it is also worth getting the Hif Fi news set up record, and if funds permit the Cardas one.The reason I say this is that I have a stylus gauge, and an alignment prtractor, but with the ... 
Amazon One and dps Turntable Experiences?

Amazon One and dps Turntable Experiences?
Hi FlynigredI perhaps should not have said cogging, probably more motor feedback from the AC motor, which is known as cogging in my view.Notably there is a web interview with the DPS designer Willi Bauer, and he says the drive belt vs string appro... 
Amazon One and dps Turntable Experiences?
I have to make a correction - The Amazons are NOT used to develop Lyra cartridges, but Lyra do use them to demonstrate their cartrdiges and electronics, and they also import the Amazon. 
Amazon One and dps Turntable Experiences?
I auditioned both decks - the DPS over at GT Audio and the Model One at Walrus systems!I bought the Amazon Model One - that should give you some idea of my views!I will elaborate and say that I really found it a very hard decision and part of it w... 
Anyone have or heard the Whest PS.20
I have just auditioned a Tom Evans 'Groove' against the Whest 2.0. The outcome was a resounding disection of 'the groove' by the Whest. whilst the groove had super fast impact and simplistic wow factor, it still made the sound come out of both spe...
