One step forward: ER +lpsu

But Audiostore is buying British from a retail POV.

A slight difference in price though.

I bought directly from Uptone too. Arrived 2 days after from US. But later I received a bill from FedEx ( or UPS, donā€™t remember) to pay 50 euros taxes. Should be the same for you?

Over here Fedex give it to royal mail, and they then charge vat and duty based on cost plus shipping, should be about Ā£100. Still cheaper than audiostore.

Yes, clearly.

But if what you really want is a pair of 505s, then resisting the temptation to fiddle now with a ā€˜tuning deviceā€™ and LPS saves Ā£1.5k towards the speakers.

Thatā€™s the first step towards a real transformation in sound quality.

My next speakers would be the end game so are unlikely to be 505s.

Previous forum member J.N. had a pair of Titans from further up the range, but then changed them for the 505s and is very happy (AFAIK) with the 505s, which suit his room better.

Might be worth giving the 505s an auditionā€¦?

Ah yes. Titan cravings. A common and well understood problem :smile:

I think you can get lotion for it these daysā€¦ā€¦

And a cold shower always helps.

Hi Gazza,
If you feel that you will be fully tempted to buy a second ER in the future, like Michael, Midnightrambler, and Steve, better look directly at ps with 2 rails.
Then the Uptone Js2 can save you a bit money, if itā€™s shipped with your ER. Itā€™s a very very good linear ps, highly rated on forums, among the best.
I had one in the past and unfortunately sold it. Sold it 2 years after for 85% of its new cost, because you hardly find it second hand. At that time I didnā€™t know It would be useful in the future.
If you donā€™t mind itā€™s silver. ( 1k, with quality dc cables).

Because even with new speakers, youā€™ll hear the effects of cleaning up the network. Maybe even more so! Get the back end down, and then that can transfer invert anything one does with the front end. My opinion.
