Split the crowd this one. Not exactly Ramen-Fi is it? Rotel demonstrate old school overkill engineering excellence, Japanese way. I'm not in the market for this but appreciate the fact that Rotel have brought it to market.

Furniture that makes a noise. I'm in!

Have you tried adjusting the armlift height? https://help.na.panasonic.com/answers/how-do-i-adjust-the-armlift-height-on-the-sl-1200gae-or-sl-1210grp

I've been using 1210s at home since the late 1980's; I could never get them to sound quite right with the stock arm/stock arm + kab damper/shrink tubing damped/o ring damped. I tried the Origin One a few years ago, didn't get on with that. The OL Alliance has removed that "haze". I'm delighted...

If this had the magnesium arm I'd be opening the box before Xmas! I would justify it to my other half on aesthetics alone, easy win :) The improved resonance control offered by the mag arm over the standard Aluminium would - hopefully - equal my 1210 M3D/Origin Live Alliance, which I love the...

Been using a Pro + and a Mini for a year or so; FB2K sees them as output devices via UPNP/WiFi. Both devices have performed perfectly, no faults and not a single drop out. Really impressed.

The original CD release of Fleetwood Mac's Then Play On contained the running order of the (shorter) US version - the UK version is the Canonical one. Also it was sourced from an utterly terrible copy master with clearly audible tape hiss and saturation (analogue tape) distortion. The current...

The way I see this, is that - if the opportunity exists to sue/copyright something as obvious as a patent for "Do Something In Software" etcetera, then NOT suing someone for this is clearly negligent. I blame the system - not Apple for this patent trolling nonsense. Other opinions are available...

Fiio have announced the DM13, which ticks a lot of boxes.

Yes, it came with that mat, a wafer thin transparent slipmat and the (thinner) standard rubber mat that has been used on subsequent models. I use the standard thicker OEM mat from the Mk 2.

1210 M3D. Serial no gives a build date of 1998; I bought it as NOS in 2003.

Appreciate the insight. I put it out as a rhetorical device; long thread. It is not something I could reasonably expect to disable my 26 y/o Technics turntable one guesses. Anecdotally and on topic, if my NORD integrated Class D dies, Colin's workshop is an easy 90 minutes drive from my house...

Is whiskering really a problem with consumer electronics operated within domestic environments?

The upgrade from my Cambridge Audio Solo that I didn't know I needed... This looks very interesting indeed.

I never buy books as physical media, only ePub/Kindle format. I buy new and second hand CD'S and vinyl. A big chunk of my new vinyl is bought direct from Artist/Bandcamp, which also comes with download code for format of one's choice. I love playing vinyl records, warts and all, and I also love...

In 2006 I was riding my bicycle to the train station in the early hours of the morning, and got caught in a torrential downpour. There was a flash of lightning close by, I felt an electrical charge and jumped off the bike and huddled in a doorway until the storm passed. When I got on the train...

Interesting article about VTA here: https://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/vta_e.html Tl;dr - it's maybe not as important as one thinks. It's also accepted that ML stylus profiles are a little more tolerant of overhang - not being as prone to IGD as spherical or elliptical profiles. The deal sealer...

Setting up a blind test between DACs is a non trivial matter for the average home user, instantaneous hardware switching etc. It's nothing like as simple as using the ABX functionality in FB2K to DBT codecs etc. I've been using Wiim Pro Plus/optical/Topping E50 DAC combo as my network streaming...
