Ok i am Canadian but can't read or speak or understand French - well just a little from elementary school - but I think to answer the original poster's question - I would upgrade the turntable to an Audio Note :-) and definitely get rid of the Yamaha for a SET. The speakers are supposed to be good.

Damn Englishman ruining the thread.

Audio Note à nouveau? Ne suggérez-vous jamais rien d'autre? Êtes-vous fanboy?

Blague à Rich. Bon de voir que vous affichez de nouveau.

I posted from memory. I would love to study french again but if you do not use it often you lose it. Rosetta Stone has french lessons for both Quebec and France. Le langue de Francais est tres belle. I may have to invest.

I am fortunate enough to be completely fluent in both languages and I have to say French is a brilliant.
But as you say it is very hard to learn a language if your never using it

Having traveled to eastern Canada many times, I find there is a difference between Parisian French and Canadian French. Canadian French is timed more deliberately like English. We from Etas Unis tend to savor each word a bit more. It seems that the goal of Parisian French is to accelerate to light speed. You can almost see the red shift during a conversation.

It's funny how you describe our French as 'Parisian French'. I had never heard that before
I've heard very little 'Canadian French' so I wouldn't know how fast they speak it compared to here. I do love hearing their accent though!

It's a matter of speed. Here's my attempt at delineating the difference.

Yes, Quebecers will use English slang, "le Hot Dog", etc...

[audio amateur]

The French use a lot of English words, including hot dog

Find it? It was made by a crazy American who likes electrostatic speakers.

Mlle McGeehan would probably have told me the same thing back in 1972 when I was in her class! Structure aside, what's up with that French speed talking thing? Why does Pierre always try to imitate this guy?

haha now that was a good advert!
Also, I'm pretty sure the he doesn't 'like' electrostatic speakers, he's an electrostatic nut!
Funny too that that was you, had no clue!
