Breakout": Swing Out Sister 1986

Tim Comments: "...The one record I love to play is a Lyrita pressing: Tippet, Britten, Rawsthorne & Berkely- Sinfoniette and Divertimenti. I love playing it because it's the only vinyl record that I can't find a CD replacement for!!! Other than that, it's pretty eclectic: BenFolds, Led Zeppelin, William Walton, Vaughan Williams and British 20th Century classical music in general, Scott Walker (my hero), Yes, Pink Floyd, Public Image Limited, The Smiths, Julia Fordham and ...my guilty secret... Swing Out Sister (!!!)... I know, but their Greatest Hits album sounds superb through the Briks (especially Breakout)."

System Updates:
He kindly sent me the Audio Milestones 'Briks article from November 2011 issue of Hi-Fi News & Record Review along with a few photos of Briks being *enjoyed*. Thank you Tim! It's kind of bizarre to see young kids listening to a vinyl in 2012! I wonder what record cover is he looking at?* In these photos, you can see the scale of the speakers.

There are a lot of stuff planned for his system in near future. A *split* passive/active conversion where he can easily go active or drive the speakers with two amps for passive operation. He found someone in the UK who specialises in Linn Briks modification andrestoration. I am curious to see how they'll turn out.
Here's the *split* schematic he sent just for one channel. He expalins this is basially driving four 8-ohm speakers instead of two 4-ohm speakers, so you need two amps to drive them via the four passive x-overs.

He also picked up a Naim CDS3 head unit. Now all he needs is an XPS2 or 555PS and he's in business.

*Tim's reply: the record that Jure's looking at is a 180g re-pressing / remaster of Led Zeppelin III, with a replica original 'Mandala-wheeel' cut-out cover... unfortunately it, like almost all of my vinyl collection, was damaged in a flood. The vinyl is still playable, but the covers are shot. The only vinyl pressing that survived unscathed was my original copy of Public Image Limited's Metal Box, probably my most treasured album.
