Well we are most of us dealing with hearing as we get older. Iā€™m 67.

Get your ears tested if you havenā€™t done so and figure out whatā€™s missing.

The the hearing techs can provide options. I tried four. Phonak. Starkey. Opticon and resound. Went with resound. Tested with my audio system. Key was quality of piano classical music. Tough test. The techs generally focus on improving your ability to hear voice communication. Audio hifi isnā€™t the same thing. I focused on audio sound quality as i heard it on my system. Worked for me

Prepare to pay up for recent high end aids. A fraction of what you spent on hifi. Got me improved the high frequency content without sacrificing quality. But big differences among the various hearing aids

Great set up!

Thanks @Devraj
It took a while to get there, with a little bit of help of course, but well worth it in the end.

May I ask if those speakers are Falcon Q7 or ls3/5a please?

What are your first impressions of the 320s? What did you have before?

The Roksan Blak is quite a serious CD player for kitchen dutiesšŸ˜‰.

Itā€™s a lovely thing. Hereā€™s something which puzzles me about it. Iā€™ve got a whole bunch of CD players which Iā€™ve bought over the years (Meridian, Naim, ATC, Cyrus + Roksan). The Roksan is the only one which offers a random shuffle function from the handset. It is in fact incredibly useful for listening to overly familiar CDs in a refreshing order. So I was puzzled why none of the others provide it. It canā€™t possibly affect the sound, since the Roksan sounds way better than eg a Meridian G08. I emailed Roksan about this, and they seemed to think that a shuffle was normal on transport controls. Any insight would clarify a mystery, love Stevie xx

I was going to like your post but I noticed it already had 69 likes, so thought I had better leave it be :sweat_smile:

Very nice setup! What is the turntable? Also, what about the Eames?..Original?

I didnā€™t succeeded in translating this. I understood super size only, but not the entire meaning.

Super Size Me was a documentary film about a guy who lived off Mcds for a month, with foreseeable consequences :hamburger:

*Also I think an advertising phrase used by said purveyor of fast food, dunno why I associate it with the film first!

What speakers are those?

Are those Harbeths or Grahams?

Bandit and James, They are the Gold Badge Falcon Q7ā€™s. Iā€™m really happy with them and have no intention of ever getting rid of em. That being said, Iā€™ve never heard an actual LS3/5a to compare.

The TT is an older Rega RP6/Ortofon 2m Bronze with a few mods. I wish the ā€œEamesā€ was an original but itā€™s a copy. Iā€™d spend the 6 grand on HiFi rather than buying an original Eames if I had the choice!
