Sorry to hear Bob. If you give me your Ongaku and Vyger, I will let you be Full owner of them.
Visit to Chris to See Magico M9 and VYGER and Pilium in Southlake, Texas

I just gave one my Ongakus to my friend in Manhattan last night to drive the Lorenzo LM1s. This is a new Rhapsody location now over in the Financial District of the city. I only have one Ongaku left but you can have that one
but I NEVER will give up my Atlantis, now that it finally works perfectly all the time. I truly love the VYGER now. It took time to sort it out, but with the new pump/control box (Titan) it's really great.I just gave one my Ongakus to my friend in Manhattan last night to drive the Lorenzo LM1s.

Not sure to be happy or not. That said, what is the analog and the speakers in the new Rhapsody location where you gave the Ongaku - the Lorenzo or others as well
Lorenzo LM 1 speakers (96db efficient). Key, the owner is a reviewer (Stereo Times) so he has sources and electronics rolling in and out. He now has one of my Ongakus on the LM1s that is not in this pic.
Key has a Dohmann TT and a Canary phono stage, with several different cartridges. He has an Extreme server for digital.
Key will have more Kondo and Pilium as we get his place fully set up.

Bob,
Among Diesis, Odeon and Lorenzo I think Rhapsody has an amazing collection and offering of horn loudspeakers!

Thx, yes it keeps getting better. Running out of room. I have the Lorenzo LM3's being delivered I think tomorrow.
The sheer force and frequency of damp hand wringing in this thread being quite so immense I fear that some member might suffer a nasty sprain or even a hairline fracture of the wrist … and bang goes their sex life then !
Fair enough. I don't like the audio quality of the M9 video either. I don't like the audio quality of the video I recorded in Todd's Trio G3 room. I don't like the audio quality of any of the videos I post in connection with my visits and interviews. I don't like the audio quality of any digital videos of any analog systems recorded by anyone. This is because I do not believe that digital video recordings of analog audio systems are representative of the in-the-room sound.
The digital video recordings I make of audio systems are at least fair -- or, depending on how you think about it, equally unfair -- because I have recorded every every single one the exact same way. At least it is an even playing field.
My opinion is that pics and descriptions would be more beneficial than posting less than stellar videos on these especially brief visits. I don't see what is gained with the videos vs pic/comments.
If you think you already know the answer, and you don't actually care what my answer is, why are you even asking me? I guess just to post and to stir the pot.
You can believe whatever you want, which you obviously do already. Each of us chooses what to waste time on.
I choose not to waste time on general news or on sports.
Just for the record, I know that the Super Bowl is a big football game. But I swear on my life I do not know the day of the eclipse.

This is another good and fair question! I have thought about this a lot myself.
The empirical evidence suggests to me that viewers on my YouTube channel -- an overlapping constituency, but a different constituency than members of WBF -- like to see video of systems rather than still photos. It's a simple as that.
And if I'm recording video of systems I visit it makes more sense to me to record the audio of those systems actually playing music, than it does to overdub a CD of random music.
Actually, in a WBF forum sort of way, it is. If you read some posts on this thread, Ron has been found guilty as charged.
Yeah, we just disagree. When I have had visitors/reviewers in the past, they just did pics/comments and it always worked nicely, but of course everyone has different ways of doing what they do. Understood.
Here is an example where Dr. Matt Clott from TAS visited for I think 2 hours and then this was his posting. No videos.

Same here. I find the video option utterly pointless, and pics/descriptions much more useful.
I do not understand Ron basing his decisions on "popular demand" while evidently loathing videos himself.
Ron, you asked us to judge you by your actions as a dealer reviewer and site owner. It’s not a matter of my belief. It’s my judgment based on your actions.
Now you're changing the question to suit your answer.
You wrote -- implying that I am lying: "And you might be the only person in the country who doesn’t know when the eclipse is or what the Super Bowl is. BS"
I responded: "You can believe whatever you want."
So yes, it's a matter of your belief.
People interested in big Magicos will do a search, if Ron is one of the few with a video, he will get more traffc ! Why should he give that up ?

Do I need to spell it out? You can think for yourself.
I just searched for the first time "Magico M9" on YouTube. My video doesn't come up, but several other video recordings of audio of M9s do come up.People interested in big Magicos will do a search, if Ron is one of the few with a video, he will get more traffc ! Why should he give that up ?
