This is the continuation of the earlier podcast in which we now move to the front end of Barry's system and discuss his Audio Research SP10 preamp, Thorens TD125 turntable 'the best turntable made by man' allegedly and, quoting the word 'allegedly' repeatedly, some significant debate on the merits of current products that cost a fair bit but seem to carry little material value even if they definitely deliver the sonic goods. What price R&D....?

In this podcast, I describe my own system and then we switch to a panel discussion at my fellow GA Barry's house - where we go into his own system philosophy, and discuss his Sonus Faber, Audio Research, Usher, Marantz and Thorens based system. This discussion is split over two podcast episodes. Enjoy!

This is a brief tour around the mains installation at my fellow Gentleman Audiophile IWC's house. It's amazing just how much of an uplift getting the mains right can make to the overall musicality of your system, and the work IWC has done, inspired by documents freely distributed by Roy Riches, has really worked magic at (relatively) low cost. Most importantly, it lifted the sound from an audiophile's perspective and maintained and enhanced the basic musicality of his system in the process, as a gentleman audiophile might seek to do. Entirely recommended, and worth a listen of course!

In this podcast, we move downstairs into a velvet-lined Cinema room which contains some gorgeous Sonus Faber Extrema loudspeakers and no fewer than eight - count 'em! - Naim 135 amps.

This is a "my bad' episode - I missed a whole chunk of recording and failed to include it in the original episode due to an errant Whippet.
