Thanks James, quite a bit or effort choosing a replacement for the PMC Fact 8’s. The focals have a very different presentation that suit my room better than the fact 8’s did - less attacking and high end tst, tst, tst, siblince that was becoming quite fatiguing
It’s insane how much they sell for nowadays. I guess the original owners who sold them have come to that moment in life that they have plenty of ££ and want to relive the earlier years
My modest setup. Running into a pair of LS50s on Partington Super Dreadnoughts. I used to have a full rack of Olive kit, but I got married and it was deemed “ugly” and unnecessary.
Latest addition is the Universal arm on my Clearaudio Ovation. I have also been auditioning a gently used Dynavector XV-1s cartridge that I am likely to purchase. I think Solti/LSO Mahler 2 on Decca just sealed the deal.
Be very careful with a loaded Fraim; with such added weight it’s quite easy to blunt or bend the tips of the spikes or bore into the floor. I always do final levelling once the Fraim is built up and I ensure that the top most platform is perfectly level. Then tighten the spikes up.
