My Accession, Enigma & Lautus arrived Today, I even fitted a new shelf especially for it đ
Plugged in & warming up, Iâm happy... Has Joe Jackson arrived yet Jonathan? I seem to be getting them through the post daily at the moment! & still ordering, gotta keep the independents running in these hard times. âThe Name of this Band is Talking Headsâ has gone down rather well. Back to films for a sec. Very different watching. Big Easy Express is just bands on a train. Into the Wild is an amazing & moving true story. Great sound track is a bonus. & 1 more different one is âAugust Rushâ Probably classed as a drama I guess, not normally my type of film. But about a young boy with great musical talent, coming to terms with his abilities, good story & music. Best I can come up with in Science fiction is War of the worlds. Not sure how long till I can resist putting an album on đ Howâs whereâs that Joe Bonamassa Album..... Matthew |

Hi Matthew
yes they arrived on Tuesday and Wednesday. Been on night shift this week so I've played them in the afternoon. one of them got a pound off the Record Shop said that the cover was not in ex condition as advertised GOOD on them. I thought it was OK and would have paid the full price as advertised. Not Complaining. WILL use them again, Good customer service goes a long way in keeping your customers coming back Jonathan |

Iâve just returned the Accession mc with Majestic/Proprius combo which I borrowed off John through the loaner scheme. Missing them already..
Bit of background. My current system comprises Roksan Xerxes/RB300/Hana SL, Naim CD5xs and NAD CS1 sources with Naim Nap200/Nac202/Stageline amps and Graham Audio ls6 speakers. Naim cables, Custom hifi cables mains block. Primary listening recently has been vinyl with streamer used as secondary source (surprisingly good for discovering new stuff through Quboz if a little âthinâ compared to turntable (and the cartridge is 2x cost of streamer after all). Cd used infrequently. So I thought my vinyl sound was being âheld backâ a little so decided Iâd like to try a better phono amp, and stumbled across GS products and the loan scheme through a Naim forum. I wasnât really considering trying/changing the remaining Naim pre/power as prefer to enjoy listening to music rather than upgrade-itis. But then again didnât want to get a case of âwhat ifâ had I not tried the Majestic/Proprius (and reviews were positive). So got in touch with John and after a reasonably short wait the kit including interconnects were dispatched after delivery paid for. The whole lot in a cardboard box I could pick up! Set up was super simple and after a short while leaving it powered up got to do some listening. First off I listened to the Majestic mc through the Naim kit and there was a definite improvement. Not ânight and dayâ but everything sounded more airy/lifelike. Found myself tapping along more. Some tracks played were Robin Trower âIn this placeâ;John Grant âPale Green Ghostsâ; Elvis Costello âShipbuildingâ;ELO âWild West Heroâ;Kate BushâBreathingâ;Bill Withers âGrandmas handsâ; Suzanne Vega âLukaâ. Only issue is I did get some hum, maybe earth issue? Next up I played most of the same with the Majestic/Proprius hooked up. Again a definite step up in soundstage/realism. Felt like this is the âendgameâ really in terms of vinyl side of things. So thatâs really good So then I hooked up the cd player and streamer with coax into Majestic/Proprius. Golly oh gosh that was amazing. Cd tracks played included Gomez âTijuana Lady; Shack âReinstatedâ; George Michael âRoxanneâ and streamed tracks included Dominique Fils-Aime âStrange Fruitâ; Madeleine Peyroux âTango till theyâre soreâ; Megan Henwood âOur little secretâ plus some streams of the other songs listened to on vinyl/cd.Such a big improvement with Majestic DAC. Canât really believe how realistic/enthralling a £300 streamer can sound hooked up with this stuff, and cd sounded great too. Lastly Iâve made some changes to room with addition of GIK acoustics panels to ceiling above speakers and wall directly behind where I sit. Got to say they are a bit aesthetically challenging (ceiling brackets quite ugly, will re-jig in time) but make a BIG difference to sound presentation. To anyone who hasnât tried anything like this - do it. Like spending £ks in hardware. So thatâs it basically end game now reached. Itâs the best Iâve heard a hifi sound ever, anywhere. Save for a bit and put the order in. |

thanks Jon. Probably worst hifi review ever fwiw. Nothing about amazing cymbal sounds or similar.

I think you're being hard on yourself. You've described the music you listened and how it benefitted,
