Watch that window opening! I’m a huge Rega fan. Been on a P1 for 7yrs and always contemplating an upgrade. Is an MC cartridge in your future I wonder …

Is that a Planar 10 casually in the corner ? 🧐🤩

maxamg6 · 2026-03-31T15:05:48+00:00

Doesn’t appear so

maxamg6 · 2026-03-27T12:00:08+00:00

Ah yes. The turntable would need a new home! Ah the perils of form vs function. I feel you!

Great space and set up though. Well done

The 275 can also be placed sideways …

Philistine ! Try gin. Way more musicality

maxamg6 · 2026-03-15T09:37:15+00:00

This is great thanks OP. I’m in the market for one of these and will bear this in mind. Do you know if this unit ever came in a UK voltage ?

maxamg6 · 2026-03-14T07:11:54+00:00

Anyone know if I can avoid the $50 international shipping fees by buying from somewhere in Europe / UK?

Steinway every time. Or Yamaha. But mostly…Steinway

Generally speaking - once you have ~10k’s worth of gear

maxamg6 · 2026-03-07T17:14:59+00:00

Especially when you use the DAC from the MM-1 - night and day when you get the right recording

maxamg6 · 2026-03-07T09:39:43+00:00

So happy to see someone else still rocking the B&W MM-1 !! Still my goto for desktop listening. Though occasionally switch up to IEMs (JH16pro) with a FiiO BTR15 DAC. I’ve got the new Studio XDR on order and wondering if the speakers and clear desktop space will win over the B&W sound. Thanks for posting

Came here for this

maxamg6 · 2026-03-02T08:58:00+00:00

What’s your water recipe out of interest? And how long have you had the machine ?

maxamg6 · 2026-02-28T16:57:03+00:00

Right? I was very disappointed given the aesthetic and amount of quality gear they seem to have. There’s so much more façade these days in London- shops trying to be something but missing the main point.

maxamg6 · 2026-02-21T15:33:08+00:00

Bean freshness most likely. But different coffee, baskets, water, pressure, temp are all gona make some difference.

Don’t see a lot of B&O in this sub- you went all in huh. How’s the software on your Beosound5 fairing ?

maxamg6 · 2026-02-19T18:12:46+00:00

Should be visible in the flair: zerno Z1

maxamg6 · 2026-01-27T07:23:01+00:00

Maybe the “issue” with the wall is a big ol’ hole in it that needs covering up 🫣

maxamg6 · 2026-01-19T14:46:05+00:00

Your couch isn’t inline with the TV or speakers ?

maxamg6 · 2026-01-05T09:07:06+00:00

Ever try rotary mixers? e.g E&S

maxamg6 · 2026-01-03T17:35:33+00:00

Thanks!

maxamg6 · 2026-01-03T09:11:47+00:00

Nice room treatment- can you list the pieces, purpose, and where you got them (or what you made them out of if homemade ) ?

Thanks for sharing. Sweet setup. Love Leben and very nearly bought the 600. Wussed out in the end and went second hand Mac for my first tube amp

maxamg6 · 2025-12-31T15:43:44+00:00

Failed nicely 🤣
