Dear Tom,
glad you enjoyed my ramblings on HiFi exhibitions. Criticism has always alive and well this side of the pond, especially here at TNT-Audio. We dare to say exactly what we think, since we have no advertisers to please. Be sure not to miss Part II of those ramblings. More will follow soon, as well.
Stay tuned and spread the word!

Marantz 1060
Hi good day, I was reading your article on the Marantz 1060 now only that I got online firstly. Very much impressed what was done on the 1060. My question is how would my 1060 sound with a pair of Missions MV6 speakers that I'm planning to buy at a drift store close to me? My speaker wire is Mogami cables and I will be using a Rotel RCD 1072 also with Mogami RCA cables. Please let me know what do you think,
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Dear Kaylib,
the Mission MV-6 you are about to purchase should be an easy load for the old Marantz, given they are fairly sensitive (88dB/w/m) and offer a comfortable nominal impedance of 8 ohm. The 1060 isn't exactly a “drive 'em all” type of amplifier, but it will get the job done. In any case, I believe a modern amp will perform better! Anyway, if you're after that vintage look the 1060 is a good choice.
Hope this helped somehow!

Stanley wooden body
Hi Mark,
This is just a quick line to say thank you for the entertaining & informative review of the walnut wood body from Stanley Engineering. I've just achieved a long felt want by acquiring a Benz Micro Glider L2 and while I do enjoy its slightly reptilian appearance, I've read way too many horror stories regarding the loss of the expensive cantilever to ignore. The fact that Benz themselves consider wooden bodies a realistic option prompted me to have a look around online which lead me to your review - my mind is now made up!
Thanks for that.

Lonpoo LP42
Caro Direttore, grazie tante!! Just listened to my new LP-42 speakers. Amazing sound! Will let my speakers "seat" prior to re-cap them with Audio-Cap. So far so good. Muchísimas gracias!!
Sonido vivo, adictivo...

Dear José,
first of all, sorry for the belated reply. I'm glad to know you appreciate these tiny, marvelous, and incredibly inexpensive loudspeakers so much. Yes, you are right, each time I put them back in my system, I always wonder how is it possible such a good sound (and bass!) comes out from diminutive and inexpensive loudspeakers like these. With a new cap their sound will improve significantly, just follow the suggestions on our comparative test of caps, here and here.
Keep me updated!

OB1 DIY loudspeaker design
Dear Arvind,
I'm Francesco from Italy.
During the 2022 I bought a fantastic pair of ESS AMT1 tweeter. I'm looking for a good project with these tweeter, possible a 2 way design.
Some weeks ago I read the article about your OB1 DIY project. It's really interesting. I'm looking for a very fast midrange for a cost no object speaker. But i think that Amt needs some experiments before a definitive design. Your project seems very good and use an high quality Faital driver.
We can talk about your experience with OB1? It's possible to know the dimensions of your speaker? Have you upgrades for this speaker? What about the crossover?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,

Hi Francesco.
There are 2 ways you can go with this tweeter;

• drive the tweeter as low as possible, ±800Hz, and find a mid/woofer to mate with. The mid-woofer would not need to have much HF capability.
• find a wide range driver, and use the AMT for HF extension only.

Arylic S50 pro review
Hi Roger,
Today I read your Arylic S50 pro review on the TNT-audio site. Myself I added this small box into my home system back in March and just a couple of weeks ago happened that I posted in the Arylic forum my personal impression about the Arylic S50 Pro after about 6 month of usage: see here.
Reading your review I was surprised to learn about your difficulties during the wi fi initial set up. In my experience the process was very straightforward and I had no problem at all connecting the app to the device.
I think the little Arylic have some merit and do help and solve some of the typical music dematerialization problems by providing connectivity, flexibility and a second life to any legacy HI FI system for very little money. When I was looking for something similar in the market I could not find much else around that price tag. And It delivers a decent sound quality as well.
Despite the poor instruction manual and the app shortcomings maybe you will want to give it a second listen?
My warmest regards,

Hi Luca,
Thanks for your feedback. I guess I should admit that my computer skills date from long before Wifi was created so it is quite possible that my "connection" problems would be seen as trivial issues by younger readers. The S50+ is certainly a handy little device that can easitly find a place in many people's systems.

Arylic S50 pro review
Hi Mark,
You wrote “In the 70s the audio system was often the first masculine purchase, before being old enough to drive or ride a motorcycle. Showing off the audio system was the nerdy equivalent of one-arm pressups or keepie uppie performances.”

You made my day! Thank you

Yes, this is an album that I can listen to everyday!
