    The mystery of Diatone- can paper composite sound like boronized titanium?

I know Diatone are doing some interesting driver development in car audio with carbon nanotues and several types of resins called NCV1 quote from Diatone “Although it is a resin material, it has a high transfer...

    Diatone is back

    Dsalling sorry for the late (3 years late) reply, i did not receive an alert for this thread. I do not have a supplier for replacement drivers as these speakers were manufactured in 1982. Your DS-505 were manufactured from 1980. The only thing you could try is open an account with hifido in...

    Yamaha NS-2000 impressions of a legend

    Yamaha NS-2000 impressions of a legend

    I won’t be able to hear past 16000hz that’s for sure! I always wondered why the neighbours dogs barked at me, when I leave for work in the morning. I think some of the extreme frequencies are felt rather than heard especially with my older ears, this might contribute to the 3D sound sensation.

    Hi Mark- yes if I was to upgrade the platter, your copper one looks fantastic- it’s similar in aesthetics to some of those beautiful large Micro Seiki turntables. Unfortunately my GT2KX won’t be set up for another month. On another note, I’m very impressed with the YOP-1 clone experiments GT...

    Hi Tekniknissen thanks for the great posts on your custom platter I have family who live in the UK and wonder who you purchased the platter from and if you don’t mind sharing, what it cost? The reason I ask is I would love to do the same for my GT-2000X. Kind regards Tim

    Thank you ateal I will do an update as soon as I set it up. The great news is one of the bedroom 4m wide 3m high 6 m long will be for the hifi gear so the GT-2000x will take pride of place along with my large Diatone DS-2000s

    Hi Ds2000, Very impressive speakers Your Victors and those lovely Sonys- I always wanted a pair myself. I own the Diatone DS5000 (87kg 4 way) I’m wondering if you have ever heard these giant beauties? Do you know if the Diatones and JVC Victor flagships sound similar? Warm greetings from...
