She was a legend. I wasn’t much into her music , a little before my time but she seemed like such gentle soul. When I was in my early 20’s I had just moved to Perth from a country town 400km north. We were big death metal fans at the time, and we were walking down the mall in town wearing our Doc’s ...

I missed this thread so thought I would post up some more pics from our trip last year. Broome to Mitchell Falls in the Kimberly WA.

Very nice TT rig there Pops! Absolutely tops. Now that's a labour of love. Bet you're enjoying those very fine tunes more from vinyl than digital... just a different thing altogether isn't it? Good stuff👍 Woof! RJ Your right RJ, vinyl is a different beast. It can be extremely daunting and frustrati...

Watch your cartridge wear over time. Look at the Sound-Smith videos and read Peter’s opinion based on his cartridge repair business. Even Michael Fremmer, who is friend to all Weisfields, has commented. I don’t question that you may not hear the effects. I can hear the balance shift as you hit the ...

Very nice. Was the setup difficult or pretty straightforward? Those d*mn VPI uni-pivot arms are horrible to set up. They’re so aggravating that there are aftermarket products from Soundsmith and others to make the process work. The guys who are willing to fool with these arms are almost always arme...

It’s the only arm I’ve ever setup so I’m really none the wiser. It’s a bit of dicking around but doesn’t seem too hard to get right. When I set the Kiseki up a while ago I borrowed a mates Fozgometer and his Feickert protractor to check and I was pretty much bang on so I must be doing something righ...

New addition to the system.

Didn’t realise that the thread was so old.
Still doesn’t change my view, all those albums are very average. Wouldn’t buy or listen to any of them.

Hey Paul,

No objections from me on that list, I think they are all pretty average.

When you fix the gain (55 or 60 preferred for your cartridge), experiment with your cartridge loading too. It isn’t too important with tube phono preamps, but the Sutherland is SS, and I’m guessing based on past experience with LOMCs and SS phono stages, you will hear a difference with both C and R...

Beautiful land and sea scapes! I was a skeptic on power regenerators … until I tried one. Now I’m a fan. I’m glad yours is recognizable as a plus too. The Kimberly is such an amazing place I’m quite familiar with the WA landscape but I was blown away every day. All photos were taken with an iPhone....

Have just got back from holiday in the the Kimberly, north west Western Australia. Simply mind blowing.

Another new addition to the system. At this stage it’s the last piece of the puzzle. Seems to have really lowered the noise floor and it’s good to know that my components are getting regulated voltage as the voltage does fluctuate a bit here. PS Audio Perfectwave Power Plant 3.

Thanks Roberto, it’s setting in well but unfortunately have had the flu so not the best to be listening at the moment.

Sorry to hear about being sick. Get well soon.

Thank you. Off on holiday tomorrow, hopefully feeling better by then.

Nice isolation feet. I've also made some isolation coasters myself for my equipment. Always enjoy seeing DIY projects. Wanted to ask, what do you think about the LH Labs Geek Pulse X Infinity dac? Wasn't there some controversy with that unit? I thought I remember hearing about it being crowd funded...

They come up really nice, good work. The connectors look really solid and well made, might have to check them out and see if they do Aussie plugs. I made some power cables a little while ago for my power amp out of some really heavy duty shielded cable I grabbed when I was working on the new Childre...

Thanks guys, very happy with how the TNT has come out. Something I’ll never sell. Harry is a legend, he was very helpful and was amazed that the table was found in the rubbish and in Australia. He thought it was made around 1990. I made the rack that the gear is on out of some salvaged timber from a...

I sort of got into vinyl by accident, although I’m really enjoying it. The VPI was found at the rubbish dump by a few work mate’s. They sent me a text asking if VPI was any good? I was around his house within the hour to pick it up.😃 I made some new feet up using some of the original spring’s I foun...

Just picked up a CJ CT 5 preamp this week so thought I would share some pics of the system. Will explain a bit about the system in time. 👍 E7401A2E-F8F6-49DE-8393-9933D7598E43.jpeg F96E7577-D1BD-4885-A74D-97FDB365D794.jpeg 324E170D-2B46-4322-A51A-8A16EA255EE6.jpeg 891EB8F8-8E23-41A9-8911-77C14FA8F80...
