I do not believe that the Dunnoy is "accidental" (meaning Romy created the monster on purpose). The results over the short period of time were certainly random - and for the time being not even repeatable. That means, that it is not even a starting step. It is food for thought. I am not convinced that the Tannoys as a unit will withstand the test of time. They could very much be a step to something else

This is very interesting perspective, and I was thinking about it a few times. To have some sobriety in it we need to know how it will end…

Actually, I more than disturbed with complexity of my playback and the fact that it's complexity frequently do not deliver good results. A few months ago, a dear audio friend have visited me, last time it was 20 years ago, so naturally I would like Macondo Milq to do what they can. It was 2 days visit, the first day we played analog only. Even I did not play records for a few months I know that my also is very stable foe yar and so I did play it. Even located off the listening spot I recognized that something is wrong. I checks a few things that might be variable and after final confirmation I declare that right now it should sound correct. it is still did not sound right, it was severe loss of mid bass to the point that it's feels that turntable is spinning faster. but everything that I know about the system suggested that everything functional perfectly and I just refuse to acknowledge there's something wrong, despite of the fact that something was wrong, and it was clearly auditable. The digital sound was completely perfect, but analog was horrendous, I check everything again and again and I did not see any reasons why analog should be bad. my friend went to sleep at whole night I was fighting with my analog and I still did not find what was wrong. next day we were listening to digital only, and next two weeks I was continuing to be fighting with my analog. I concluded that my CPU cartridge just died. A few months ago it was perfectly fine and I did not spin lot of records lately , so I hardly accepted it, as I did not detect gradual worsening sound in the past. it was a moth before the whole Dannoy event started, sometime in July. I was considering buying a different cartridge or rebuild this cartridge and investigated all kinds of options. I even gave my cartridge to a local friend of mine who claims that cartridge was perfect in his playback. I was continuing to fight with my analog playback, and it did not give me pleasure. I have too much it is going on in my life that to fight with stupid records is very much not my priority. Also, I do not want to waste $10K for something that my not need to be replaced. Eventually, Danlavy 2011, Dannoy and Remedios Project took my attention from cartridges and about a month ago I found the reason why my analog was compromise. I found it completely accidentally try to reach a dropped screw. it turned out then in a very bottom end of my SME 2012 tonearm a spider built a very think spider net leads between the end of the tonearm and stationary objects. That sucked out live form the performance of my analog. One way or another but my entire analog with my unique analog was not operable and I wasted huge amount of time to debug it. I really hate those experiences …
