Albert, I see you use a Micro Seiki Gunmetal on your SP10. As far as I know it is very heavy (almost 2kg, please correct me if I am wrong). Aren't you afraid of damaging the bearing with this e...

The image of your new beautiful plinth left me envious and guilty - my SP10 chassis has been resting for years in a closet. Did you compare the MK2 and MK3 in similar conditions? Congratula...

I have tried several preamplifiers with the NHB108B - when I got it the NH18NS was still under development. Even with ballanced preamplifiers, such as the Audio Research Ref3, I preferred the u...

I live in Portugal. For some months I played with a Nagra CDP - a very detailed CD player, with more information than the CD7. The very low bass definition was better than that of the Audio Res...

Bigpond,Great system. Curiously, although we live almost in the antipodes we share some common points in our systems – mainly the room size (3.9 x 9.3 x 2.4m, 13 x 31 x 8´ for our friends using...

Although, as you say, everything has been so crazy for the last few weeks, the room is still the thing! Can I ask why you are choosing the RPG skylines and not the Diffractal or QRD 734?

Are you referring to the great orchestral conductor Andrew Litton? I can imagine that someone used to “row zero” can find hifi systems quite lifeless!

Albert, you suggested that I pull the Megalines 5-6 feet from the wall. However my room is 13 feet wide - I used to put the A1s 1-2 feet from the wall. Or are you referring the distance from the ba...

Yes, the RPGs are covering the wall at the back of the speakers. The four 48x24 abffusors are from RPG and are used to tame side reflection - they are not fixed as I am not sure I will need them wh...
