Introducing My System
So this is Black Pumas at Eventim Apollo, had the pleasure of attending that concert several days ago: And these are Black Pumas at my place :) I have to say, the singer’s voice and the tone I heard at the concert is pretty much how I hear it at my place — so ”Colors” me happy :)- Thundersnow

Marty's system
Don’t mean to wax poetic (pardon the pun, Marty), so I’ll keep this short and up to the point. I am yet to hear a more impressive hi fi system than Marty’s. And I‘ve heard…. many. Many.- Thundersnow

Rhapsody.Audio Listening Rooms
I visited Bob a few weeks ago at the Brooklyn townhouse, the Rhapsody Audio HQ. I truly had a wonderful time, Bob was a great host and the wife and I got to hear some amazing systems in some truly unique listening rooms — especially the old coal loading room below ground — what a truly unique...- Thundersnow

Ron Resnick Launches Audio Cafe LLC, a New Clarisys Audio Dealer
Congrats, Ron. Being a long-time Apogee fan I really do admire what @Florian has done so far to evolve the concept. At some point, I will be the happy owner of one (likely) Studio pair as well!- Thundersnow

Introducing My System
You are right. And yes, they seem to be a very good match. Probably within standards on both ends so all good.- Thundersnow

Introducing My System
I use the NAT preamp and as such it is indispensable for my analogue sources. But being that I’m all digital these days as I await the move to my new home, it’s currently “benched” shall we say :)- Thundersnow

Introducing My System
LAMPIZATOR HORIZON — TO PREAMP OR NOT! So a quick post to share my latest exploits with this DAC. For the most part I’ve been using my preamp with it, but here we come at an impasse — do we follow the audiophile road or simply focus on the listening to good music? In essence, us audiophiles —...- Thundersnow

Introducing My System
This is probably the happiest I’ve been with the sound of my system in a long, long time. It’s been a struggle for years to tame the slightly aggressive overtones of the Accuton drivers and yet retain that magic sparkle and the incredible microdetails that make it so special. I’ve recently...- Thundersnow

Introducing My System
It’s crazy, I always thought, yeah, I like tubes, but it’s not like I couldn’t live with top notch solid state. But after spending a few years now with tube power amps, along with the rest of the gear, I am beginning to think I would have real issues going back to solid state. It’s not a matter...- Thundersnow

Introducing My System
So I had a chance to listen to Karan Acoustics Master Collection PowerA monos, along with the LineA preamp and separate PSU, on a system comprising of a Melco streamer, an older MSB DAC and Focal Stella Utopia Evo speakers. God help me, upon returning home, I fired up the system and bathed my...- Thundersnow

NAT Magma M?
Just a quick side note, NATs are extended and accurate but not bright in the top end.- Thundersnow

Does your family know what your system's worth?
Look, I’m all for equality in the marriage — in other words I don’t see myself going first — it’s a 50-50 toss up! Wife is seven days older, I still have a fighting chance! We’ll see if she sells my gear or I sell her purses first!!!- Thundersnow

NAT Magma M?
Having owned both the stereo and mono Momentum D’Ags, I can tell you that the Magmas are about as far from laid back you will find in tube amps — not talking about tone, but raw speed of transients and the recreation of the. sound stage. I’ve done a direct comparison while stil owning Coltrane 3...- Thundersnow

Introducing My System
Thanks, Marko! Jorma is a very good match in that sense with Marten, both in terms of tone and for the obvious reasons that the speakers are wired with it. In the grand scheme of things, room acoustics do play a much bigger role on the sound and I already have room treatment that I can play...- Thundersnow
