I am not sure I’ve ever used more than a single optical input on my gear, but there may be some who need all three to connect a CD player, streamer, and television. Also, your pronunciation of cuyahogaw was spot on!

Hi Paul. Subscriber here. Thanks for the very informative review and as always doing all the hard work that's difficult/costly for the rest of us to do! I've seen all your videos on sleeves and some others on KZbin and for me, it's between this and the Nagaoka. I know there's no lip, permeability, or the strength of the MAs but I'm drawn by the possibility to put them inside the original inner sleeves of albums which have nice art work on the inner sleeves, which I assume the MAs won't fit inside? Please may I have your thoughts about these 2 and for that purpose, the strength, antistatic properties (if there's even a difference) or your general thoughts. Many thanks.

To be honest, I would either insert your discs into pictured inners or store the vinyl out of the picture inner and inside a pro inner. One that will look after the disc. Pictured inners won't do that and rarely offer extra space for an additional inner. Even if you do successfully insert another inner inside a picture inner (which I did many years ago) I find that the pro inner often puts stresses upon the picture inner because of the tight fit. The pro inner also sticks out of the picture inner so it's not particularly tidy. If you want 'the look'. Sure, go for the bare disc in the original picture inner. If you want to look after your discs long term? Store them inside a pro inner and outside of the picture inner. That way, you're protecting both the disc and the original picture inner. Hope all the 'inner' talk hasn't confused you! :)

With regard to the 3 optical outputs, CD transport, streamer, and TV. Currently looking for the right amp with HDMI input so i can reduce the number of required remotes.

Three optical ports on the Hegel: too much. Instead it would be wise to include a AES-EBU connection.

The cherry on the top missing feature would be I2S interface... even an AES/EBU balanced would have been nice as the added step up for its interface for this model upgrade. When will the I2S interface be standardized!! Either I2S or AES/EBU balanced would be awesome to utilize with my DDC+DAC setup!! I agree with one of the other posted comments.... beautiful display should have made CD text available at this price point!! Bravo on your video post... nice work 🎉😎💯👍⭐

Thanks for this great review. Many who haven't heard Goldring cartridges express the opinion that they aren't a very good deal, because they are just AT builds in new clothing. Anyone who has heard both would be astounded at the difference, and would certainly prefer one tonal signature over the other: they have remarkably different characters! For me, the AT95ML was really a nice cartridge...but the Goldring E3 is in a different league. Your review has me quite intrigued, so I guess I need to start looking for an E4 ; )

I demo'd these. My impression was that Q essentially ambandoned the Q philosophy and made a speaker aimed clearly at being able to do everything that the Dali O5 and O7 can do including the wide stage and fun/fast bass with boosted upper mids. I think they succeeded. This speaker is like tge awesome unholy stepchild of a 3050 and an O5 that can reach into the O7s bass range. The 5050 is imperfect but immensely fun.

I have the Rega Planar 1 and I absolutely love the fact that it has none of the useless extra features. In my opinion the joy of listening to vinyls is in how physical and hands-on the experience is. If I want convenience, that's what streaming services are for.

You can shorten the name of the Audio Technica Turntable to AT-70LPX by buying a model without Blue Tooth. I just recommended this turntable to a friend whose son is determined to get into vinyl and was going to buy a suitcase table (Crosley). Spend a little extra and get this I pleaded. I think he is going to listen to me.

I suggest get the wax out of ya ears first then get a nice affordable turn table more importantly to have your sound room set up correctly do mindfulness with your listening go out on a walk and train your brain and ears to pick up sounds around you then your iPad will sound great being serious the brain and ears will separate sound natural

yes. this is great for death and black metal vinyls for low cost and great sound if you have some good speakers ( i got edifier speaker and provides satisfactory sound for all bass and vocals, ) . of course this is an early medium level. thx for the video. in fact it is perfect for jazz too.

Here is some fun trivia for you: There was no "Lone Gunman", because Oswald did not kill anyone, he was simply the fall guy. Ruby, who had mafia ties, was blackmailed into killing his friend Oswald, whom he had known for years. But before that, Ruby had worked for LBJ in the mid 1940’s. After that LBJ sent Ruby to work for his friend Nixon. Later, when they wanted to remove Nixon from office, they had to do it on Nixon’s terms. Otherwise, Nixon would expose them for their “Bay of Pigs mess” - or in other words - their Jack Ruby connection. LBJ could not allow that, and so his friend Nixon was allowed to step down. In 1964, to cover-up their involvement in the JFK assassination, the CIA invented the term “Conspiracy Theorist”. Those who are not Conspiracy Theorist are considered "Lone Nutters".

I mounted a E4 on a Rega P2. It replaced a Atvm95ml. According to most online the E line i just a AT dressup, but i think it sounds way better. Not as "digital" as the 95ml. And miles away from the 95e. Im super happy with my E4👌

Hi Paul. I must admit I like the design of this system , compared to the more regular designs that are available . I tend to make my own support units and speaker stands , but I can see there’s been a lot of thought go in the design of this product . I particularly like the ability to dampen the side supports , which would have me reaching for my favourite product for this purpose ( cat litter ) 😂 . Finally nice to see the audiolab cd player brought into service for the sound test , a unit it bought along with the audiolab amp after seeing your review some years back . Kind regards as always . 👍

It really looks like there’s 2 or perhaps 3 Chinese manufacturing plants for these sleeves. Whoever MoFi uses, whoever Big Fudge uses, and then the Pyp ones (and the others that felt and looked the same sans branding). I’d love to see a comparison of the VSS sleeves vs MoFi vs Big Fudge vs MA. Overall great work! Thank you for this review.

Dimensions (base) are: 109.3 x 602 x 402 mm. For the tallest shelf: 365.45 x 602 x 402 mm. Usuable shelf width/depth is: 480 x 379 mm. Usuable height varies from 120mm to 350mm. As I say, the link provides access to the site with all of this info on there. There's lots of other stats you can view there too for the many shelf variations inc. varying weights.
