I had to look up "omib"
It isn't "Outreach Ministry in Burnside"
Interesting bunch of stuff there Mr. P, but I'd worry how well it would work together

you will Ed, you will! ek ek ek ek etc
but, to try to get in the spirit of things ... how much better is this stuff and surely half the fun is the fettling?!
OTOH I have a chum with a teres turntable. It is superb (though not without a few probs which are now sorted) and he is very happy with a Denon103R needle.

Andrew, I absolutely concur with your statement as well as your later response to Ed. We at last have something in agreement!andrew Ivimey wrote:Odd as it may be, if I was stupidly rich, I don't think I'd have anything much better than what I have now - a little better sure; but the prices one pays for bling Hi-Fi are a bit silly and I doubt that I'd get that much better enjoyment than I do now.

Ed, I don't understand 'omib' and an achronym search didn't leave me any the wiser. Please tell what it means!

Ha! I take it as 'one mind in a billion' but then acronyms come thick and fast, so I have to take what I can get!

#22 103R
Andrew
The Denon 103R may actually be the Fantasy HiFi choice.
I've just put the 103R back on after a few weeks using ( and experimenting with ) the Dynavector XX-2 II .
The 103R is the clear winner. Obviously more realistic presence, midrange tone, more dynamic, and even the treble is more natural .
I've read that the Dyna XV-1's sound like the XX-2 but better , so that makes me wonder if they are really that good .
The 103R ( to my ears ) now beats a Koetsu Red, Dyna XX-1L , Dyna XX-2, ZYX R-1000 Airy all of which I've had in the system long enough to get to know properly .
Only the Ortofon SPU or the EMT left I think to try , for me .
Maybe the Allaerts , but not easy to get cheap .
Must get back to the music now .

I'm with andrew too
an amp that someone else had made would not be fun to me too
its nice to listen to others amps..
if i had enough money a bigger dedicated listening room and better workshop would me my choice....
anyway.. if i had anywhere near the ultmate hi fi, i'd be likely to get bored and take up another hobby...
so just messin suits me
