Drizt Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Can we make some equipment requests now as there is only 1 week to go?I still want to hear the Epitomes with the Reference 150 hybrid amp, but I'd also like to have a turntable attached (not asking for too much I hope!). DS [/b] I'll ask Greg.... remind me to put my ear muffs on where the vinyl gets a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsss Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Afraid of the sound of real music rather than ones and zeros are we Luddite! - just for you I think I'll pack some mono vinyl (to be serious for a moment, mono mixes from the 60s are often far superior as stereo was not the norm and the mono mixes were more carefully put together while the stereo mixes were really chucked together).

Gee Emm Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Afraid of the sound of real music rather than ones and zeros are we DS [/b] Does that mean I can bring my vinyl jap-pressing of DSOTM? I'll have to retreive it from under the house though. :blush: G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsss Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 What's it doing under the house? I could bring my DSOTM but it is in ratsh*t condition and it is quadraphonic - no quadraphonic amps available I assume, not to mention SQ decoders. If you're into Pink Floyd, have you ever heard the mono mix of Piper at the Gates of Dawn? I pirated it because I can't afford to get it on vinyl (seems to go for £150-200 which is too much although I might try and get the CD reissue one day). I can bring it if you like, I assume it is from the CD reissue and I find it a bit fatiguing at volume but it is a much better and far superior mix.

Gee Emm Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 What's it doing under the house?[/b] I hadn't played LPs in years. So packed up they got. I sold my Rega P3 to finance my AVR. I can't bring myself to sell off the LPs though. I still believe one day I'll get another TT. I did like the ritual of vinyl.

Let's both take 'em along & see what happens. If fatgen is coming, maybe he has a pocket sized LP cleaner, coz I know I don't have any of those accessories any more. God knows how much pop & static will be on my vinyl. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidsss, sorry to say mate but its a no to moving the turntable from the main room (where the Grand Monuments are).

davidsss Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Such is life, I'll bring some CDs instead.

I might have to fly down one weekend or mid week and have another listen. It is just getting them back to Sydney that will be the hard/expensive part. STill have to have a good listen to the epitomes. cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he was building one set he ordered a couple of sets of boxes. Looks like he made one set as a normal set and one as a reference.
