Over the years I have most definitely been guilty as charged, back in the late nineties the UK HiFi press wash awash with glowing reviews of Nordost, and when a Thor came up ex dem I grabbed it, and...

So (and I don't mean to be impolite) you bought these things and in spite of their cost, you're basically happy they haven't made your system sound any worse?

Way back in 2009 I think I bought an ex dem Accuphase E450, and was persuaded by the eulogies of the dealer to add a couple of these....the amp remains wonderful & the damping plates remain at the...

while my P3ESR's sit on Custom Designs stands, my M30.1's are on Rogoz, and they are excellent stands!

I just recently bought a lightly used 1201, and imho it's stunning, and the dimensionality is certainly there. I got to hear the 300b Integrated amp recently at a show, driving some modified Snell E...

Thanks for the heads up - I was an Amarra user a few years back, but had no idea they had a Tidal version now. Just downloaded it & so far, so impressed!

I don't tend to take much of what Alan Shaw says very seriously (amps do sound different & stands really do matter imho), but the recommendations for the M30.1's suggest 25w upwards. His own choice...

Jerome....firstly, excellent post above, and congratulations, your journey has always seemed destined to include something like your latest speakers....and you now have a fabulous range of amps to...

There are a large number of Leben CS300 owners, and a few Line Magnetic owners who might just disagree with this blanket statement. 28w of Unison S6 does just fine, notwithstanding my comments about...

Jerome, I hope you know I respect your opinions, but on this one we part ways, the speakers you are describing simply bear no relation to what I'm hearing from my M30.1's, and I'm honestly a bit...

Learned today via a UK forum (from one of his dealers BD Audio) that JC Verdier has passed away. Another of the true artists & pioneers leaves us, and while I don't own one of his TT's, my own will...

That's just classic British reserve ;) And most of them won't have heard any Devore speakers, as far as I know there's only one outlet here, and seeing as we can't buy the green amps they tend to be...

I think I mentioned the something solid stands to you before, but they seem a very popular combination among UK owners, but I suspect Alan Shaw is right, just get the tweeters at ear hight and enjoy!...

Your set up plays nicely with their near field BBC heritage thou :) And yes, they do pair well with the Snappers, especially since I added a Croft Micro 25R pre. But 30w of Unison S6 also sounds...

That looks a great set up .......and I *know* they sound wonderful :) Congrats! It's exactly a year I've had mine & it's been a very enjoyable year (and many more to go, these ain't going anywhere!).

Just an apprentice, but if you have the budget, Accuphase + Harbeth is a great match (I have the P3ESR's and they sound superb with an E450) LFD's amps are another popular match, although I have no...

Just curious if you've received your pair Jerome?

An excellent choice ....not that I'm biased or anything :)

I wasn't there, but by all accounts on the HUG they went down very well. And although they are probably the second worst fit of the range for my room......likewise, I want a pair!

Yep, I noticed our first game next season too :) But as Fat sam has survived the chop, I suspect you'll be back to winning ways!

And thanks for the welcomes :)

Hi guys.....lover of all things valves & vinyl.....and free speech & fair moderation. Dislikes include paying for someone else's car collection;) Oh, and selective editing of a certain speaker...
