AVID DIVA II TURNTABLE – REVIEW

August 28, 2015 Comments Off on AVID DIVA II TURNTABLE – REVIEW

“The overall effect is that music works more effectively, ‘Anitra’s Dance’ from the Marriner/St Martin-in-the Fields account of Grieg’s Peer Gynt Incidental Music [EMI] does feel more like a dance than simply a set-piece, and ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ builds not only in tempo, but also in intensity. That Decca Rhapsody in Blue also contains a recording of Copland’s ‘Fanfare for the Common Man’ which, via the Diva II, has not only a sense of space and distance to the opening fanfare, but the sheer power of the timpani is quite arresting; they have impact in the truest sense yet, despite their power, the timpani don’t disturb or unbalance the performance. The Diva II keeps its head while lesser tables are losing theirs.”

“The Essential II Digital needs careful placement to get the optimum sound, especially as it doesn’t have much in the way of suspension. It’s best to place it on a rigid support, away from the speakers or any other source of vibration.”

LINN MAJIK LP12 TURNTABLE SYSTEM REVIEW

August 22, 2015 Comments Off on LINN MAJIK LP12 TURNTABLE SYSTEM REVIEW

“The Majik LP12 is also a great leveller of LPs. Those carefully massaged 180g virgin vinyl albums sound good, but so do the bin-end charity store discount specials. The difference between worst and best album in your collection is made less immediately noticeable. That being said, good vinyl still sounds very good on the Majik LP12, but lacks that absolute ‘warts ‘n’ all’ function of über-turntables to extract all there is to extract from the vinyl. At least, at the Majik level: what the LP12 extracts at this point is the musical marrow, but there is more to extract. In part, this is what the Upgrade Path is about.”

” At the same time, some of the engineering really does put the Performance DC in a slightly different category to many rivals. The pitch stabilty, minimal coloration and impressive resistance to surface noise makes this a great turntable for anyone returning to the format after years of digital because it competes with it on an almost even footing in competence while trouncing it for joy”

Pioneer turntables PL-30-K Review

“A 12-inch 45 RPM EP of the Smiths “The Peel Sessions” was vivid and totally alive sounding. That’s what’s great about vinyl on a good quality turntable: the music can blow you away. I’m not much of a Smiths fan — I found this one on the street a few years ago and rarely played it. It was in perfect shape, so I guess the original owner didn’t either, but I now love this short set of four tunes recorded on May 18, 1983.”

“The company released its first “legendary optical cartridge” in Japan in the 1960s, but manufacturing issues ensured a short shelf-life. The company finally returned with another optical cartridge in 2013, the DS-001, but again only in Japan”
