Nice! There can't be many better ways to spend an evening than listening to good music, reproduced well, and in good company.

My proprius continue to delight me. I've written more here about these than the Accession for instance. I think this because I knew already that Graham could design world class phono stages, so it was no surprise that it turned out to be a stunner. With the Proprius, it wasn't so much that I doubted they'd be good, in fact I expected good, I wasn't quite prepared for just how good and how, now that they are fully burnt in, they show a clean pair of heels to my £2.5k, 250w amp in pretty much every way that matters - especially that most crucial of factors - ENJOYMENT!

It's all good news guys - size doesn't matter! It really is what u do with it that counts

I'd love to hear Fact8s driven by Proprius amps. My little PMCs sound great with them so I can only imagine what the extra extension and detail of the 8s sound like.

Like so much on this forum, the education, and de-bunking of myths never fails to amaze me - the need for "mega" watt amps being a case in point. The Proprii are my lowest power amps ever, and undoubtedly the best sounding . . Thumbs Up


When I first contemplated getting the Proprius amps I must admit I had my moments of doubt that they would be powerful enough. However, I needn't have worried! My doubts were laughable! On my old Mission floor standing speakers and on the PMC fact 8s in a large room I could literally wake up the street and lift a few roof tiles as well. Not only that but they sound fantastic!


I recently enjoyed an afternoon of Phil and Lesley's hospitality in Chesterfield, sharing nostalgia and enjoying some very good music through Phil's glorious hi-fi. I can confirm the large room is filled by the Fact 8's with the Majestic at 9 o'clock (as if anyone doubted this) and all the music I heard was wonderfully reproduced by two slim tower speakers and a small pile of net silver boxes. Probably the best hi-fi I've heard and it brought the music to life. Well done to PMC and GSP/HFSC and thanks again to Phil for our time together with the music.

£40 for that one here in the uk Cry




Actually Mick, I do have a few bottles of the 389 which I bought a few years ago for about 7 or 8 pounds each, I also have four or five bottles of (my favourite) the bin 707 which I got for about £19 per bottle. A friend of mine is a great Australian wine enthusiast and we used to buy small batches together. I really like some of the Australian Reds but my favourite whites are often from New Zealand. It pays to buy young and keep it! Unfortunately, I don't buy, or drink, a lot of wine these days but it's nice to have one or two good ones put away for a special occasion.
