....in his review of the new Linn Keel, Ekos SE, and Trampolin.

Art stated, that as far as he knew, there was no other arm that mated as perfectly to the Linn's new inner plinth as the ARO or the Linn arms.

Not so.

The Kuzma Stogi, according to the review article and manufacturer's interview from when it was a new product.... was designed ON a LP12 table. This was due to the fact that the Kuzma Stogi was Mr. Kuzma's first design. Chicken and egg. The arm came first. He had to begin and build it based on something. That 'something' was the Linn LP12 turntable.

I took my amplifier in for a re-tube and got a loan amplifier for the 10 days or so it will take. On plugging it in, I noticed the interconnect from the CD player was the wrong way round on the left channel. Ie., the arrows were pointing back toward the CD player, instead of up into the amp. Obviously, I connected it up wrong 3 weeks ago when we moved. I've been playing the last few weeks with the cable the wrong way round. When I connected the loan amp, and dropped in a CD - I only got the right channel. The sounds of silence on the left. Suspecting a dodgy amp, I turned everything off.

Greetings Stephen, edit options seem fine at time of making the actual posting, but after they are done the edit option goes away after a while (no idea how long). I would have thought they should remain 'edit-able' until someone has made a direct reply to 'your' posting, but maybe that is just me being silly (?) I did notice this on at least one posting after around maybe three or four days.

Hello everyone,

I am brand new to the world of "stereophilia", but I am working on a project and you seem like the folks to ask for advice.

I recently inherited my grandparents' old hi-fi console. It is a beautiful piece of furniture with all the original finish and electronics intact. I had the idea that I would like to "remodel" the console to include a high-end-ish stereo but still look vintage on the outside. I am somewhat handy and can probably pull off the woodworking that needs to be done to accomodate the updated system.

Hi folks - I am new to this whole hifi audiophile world - and what an interesting world it is !

Heres the guts of it - I finally cleared off my old crappy bits of system to the back shed and forked out on some new gear. After much reading and sussing out a couple of shops I went with the following : NAD 325BEE amp, Monitor Audio BR2 speakers, Cambridge Audio 640P phono pre amp for my old technics turntable and am soon to replace my old sony carosel CD player with a 525BEE NAD to match the amp.
