Yes please Mr I, I'd like to hear a WAD2 (and lots of other phono's then decide what to build if my Lite Audio phono is that bad in comparison :) ) If not I'll be open to offers if it blows Nicks monster into the weeds :lol: I came away from WF with the motivation to build my first pair of speakers....

It's not that easy to hear a number of shop bought phonos together let alone so many nice DIY jobs . Yeah, thats what I'd like to hear too Simon. I bought and made up my Chinese Ebay Valve stage before I knew any of you chaps so it was a gamble, it works but I'd like to know how it compares to what...

Sounds like a lots going on in DIY Phono-stage land. I like the sound of a simple project, specially if it could better what I've already got, the MC i/p is very noisy as well-discussed before. Without the loan of Phil's step ups I'd be stuffed.

:idea: Any chance at Owston we could compare a few phono amps? I love to hear what mine is/isn't doing compared to well established stages like the WAD2/WD3 and Nicks sooper dooper. I use this all valve 'Lite-audio' LS37 Phono pre which along with Philip's loaned step up's is my only reference. DTB

£147 Dave - Bargain !! Yup, I saw that, gulp. I've managed to buy 2 Simply Vinyl re-issues this week of ND's, Five Leaves left and Bryter Layter. Just Pink Moon to go. Much more realistically priced :) Decca update, listened to loads this weekend, John Martyn pink rim copys of Inside out and Sunday...

Yup Chris, and now with 'St Anger', what bloomin' heck's going there.

Raw or what.

Still think they have their moments though.

RRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! (Heavy metal voice).

Oh bloody 'ell.

Hi Mike! Welcome.

I dunno about the 'cd recording' being poor Si, it might be the actual recording done at source or even the mix. There's a few good examples out there would bare that out, not your cuppa tea problee but Metallica's '...and justice for all' LP is awfully mixed/recorded IMHO. It's like someones done a...
