Yes i have tried the piccolo’s but i didn’t like them after 2 days. First few hours i liked them but after a few days they became to intense.
But the grid protectors i like, only behind the set. Not behind my listening position, than it confuses the soundstage. I have them on the least intense position/config.
No when Ron visited me i didn’t have the Schnerzingers in the room. I just had the speakers running for a few weeks and i was still learning the system.
8 feet should attract attention of the hyperbole police
Thank you Jeffrey!
They are behind the left and right textile screens.
We seem to have the same type of gears. But in my system the Piccolos worked but the Grid Protector did not. From users experiences I heard, Scherzinger devices dont work across the board. When they work they add special effects to sound. I found the Piccolos worked on the highs and gave enveloping emersive sound complimenting Tripoint. One Scherzinger device that seems to have very positive feedbacks from all users is the power distributor. I never tried it though.
The reason I asked if Ron knew about the Scherzinger in your system is only to raise his awareness that he was hearing the whole system with the device if the device was in the system at that time. Everything in the chain counts for the impressive sound he heard. I have deep respect for him. But really he is a big boy he can take a swing.

OK AQ,Ah..now i understand
OK AQ,
Lovely setup, no doubt. It must sound as beautiful as it looks.
I see a lovely Lampi Pacific Dac perched on a pedestal there, but no mention of it at all. Tell us more about your digital setup and how it compares to your top shelf analog.
Thank you!Very very nice. What kind of racks?

The RK 242 is da bombI didn't hear the RK 242 there but 2 and 3 were quite better than the others in that order though I think the valves in Alieno have to match too and then we found that with the Elrog in the Alieno the lampi valves matched as above. Good to know the RK 242 is even better
The RK recti was much better
The RK 242 is da bomb
The RK 5u4g is my favorite recti but I have never heard the famous Takatsuki 274b. You say the RK recti is even better than the Taka 274b recti?
That was a clear decision pro RKI never compared those two. I compared RK to KR...

Thanks AQAgree on the first 2 comments. I didn't test the Tak 274b with the new RK242, but i just short did that.
The Tak makes everything and mainly the bass a bit "softer". Sometimes this can be good when a system is the other way.
It also gives a little bit more depht. But is has less drive, less attack than the RK 5u4g. Tone is a little bit leaner with the Tak.
But still a very pleasant sound. Will test some longer with this recti.
We all hear different or like different aspects.I never compared those two. I compared RK to KR...
Personally the Tak recti that I have compared before at Al's, and the Tak 300b that I have compared in two different systems (one AQ's and the other also an Alieno system) I have found it to have a dense mids color and the stage pushed a bit forward. So it seems to be a Tak signature. I would like to try the recti again to check if this assumption is correct. Those who like their mids that way will like it, I don't. I like valves which seem more transparent and which show different tracks differently. In the 300b the Elrog does that better in the Alieno amps in both places. I would like to try an Elrog recti
That was a clear decision pro RK
I would love to try the Takatsuki 274b against the RK 5u4g some time
