My top 10 of all time albums in no particular order ..

Or from Spotify: Transvision Vamp – Velveteen

DAY 01: Though many an old favourite has fallen at the way side over the years, I just can't drop this one ... it's just too good!

Transvision Vamp: Velveteen.

Wendy James, in my opinion was probably the sexiest singer ever ... extremely short cut off jeans, cheaky Twiggy looks and a vulnerable but slightly husky voice. The album Velveteen is pure gold, easily as epic and dramatic as the likes of Meta Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell, culminating in the outrageous last track of the same name ... Velveteen.

The production is also amazing - it's all about the voice with the music just puffing Her up when need be a only taking over in the quiet parts between Her singing ... instruments flow in, out and over each other; one instrument starting a ''sound'' and another taking it over and continuing it seamlessly.

A little dramatic, Yes but it's also a masterpiece ... I love it!

My first impression of LINN's NEW Akubarik's

Firstly I am all in favour of compact systems so for me it's a great advantage that they are fully active. Technical information you can get from the designer on the following video link http://vimeo.com/search?q=akubarik I can pick a few points about the design. I don't like blue lights ... I'd hoped it would be smaller to fit more of my customers that have smaller rooms and apartments with neighbours. But actualythey look great, very tidy indeed. A good start and very interesting but how do they perform? The obvious reference systems are Akurate 242 Aktiv with LINN Akurate amps or Klimax 350A's reference speakers. Straight off the Akurate 242's can't compete on the bottom end. The Akubariks deliver controlled base no matter the volume. Whether the 3k array performs better than on aktive 242, I don't know but it's probably quite similar. It is very good. It's all very good and well balanced. At no point did I experience any issues with frequ...

Linn Katalyst ... New DAC architecture - NEW KLIMAX DS :)

“Shows a clean pair of heels to some of audio’s upper echelon with ease. It might even be the best of all of them … profoundly recommended." Hi-Fi+ Magazine Our new Katalyst DAC Architecture performs digital-to-analogue conversion with greater precision than ever. Katalyst takes an unprecedented level of control over the critical elements that lie at the heart of the analogue signal’s creation; offering improved Data Optimisation, superior Master Clock, independent Power Supplies, a new ultra-low distortion Output Driver and crucially, for the first time, a high-stability input Reference Level. The latter is vitally important because, at the point of creation, the analogue audio signal is particularly vulnerable even to miniscule variations in the Reference Level, which cause irreversible damage. Katalyst’s high-stability input Reference Level eliminates variations during analogue signal creation, giving you a deeper insight into your music. Read more ......
