    Ron’s New System

    Curious. Could it be that it's not available in the US..? Here's a screenshot of the album on Qobuz. Maybe you can find it manually.

    Ron’s New System

    Hi Ron, Is this the same recording of Bald Mountain as on Chesky RC30? https://play.qobuz.com/album/3614977862126

    At What SPL Do You Listen to Your Stereo?

    This is quite typical for me. From high 60's to low 80's, with peaks maybe +10 dB or so. Wouldn't play much louder even without neighbours.

    RADA Precious One Phono

    That was one of the better rooms at the Radisson. Only realised that it was this RADA when I was back home.

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    Sure sounds promising... :) Mine shipped this Tuesday, arrived on Thursday, set-up on Friday. Pachanko Constellation Mini w/ Stellar LPS and Diretta into Sforzato DSP-030EX.

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    This is getting more and more interesting. I've used Roon since 2015, am interested in Diretta, and have a Sforzato DSP-030EX. Without a clock upgrade though. Yet. This Pachanko Mini is starting to look like a bit of a no-brainer. I'm currently using an iMac (M1) as Roon Core, but I'd like to...

    How many amps are needed/preferred from a LPS?

    That's impressive. What did you use for PS? What are the required specs for the Mini? The website didn't mention.

    Any cyclists here?

    How about a Rockshox Reverb AXS? It's wireless, so no cable routing and also no modifications to the frame needed. There are also cheaper droppers with a simple under the saddle lever like KS ETEN Lever, but you lose some of the benefits that come with the remote.

    What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

    Robert Koda K160 Amps are on their way finally!

    I've seen Robert Koda amps at the Warsaw show once or twice, but I think they were on static display only.

    Robert Koda K160 Amps are on their way finally!

    You must've been looking at the previous shows exhibitors as this years exhibitor lists aren't yet out. They usually come around two months before the show, IIRC, and those are then updated as new exhibitors / brands are added etc.. BTW, remember to install the app to your phone, so you can...

    Speakers for Kondo Ongaku... Please Help

    Yes, Dragon twice in Munich. First in 2018 and again the following year. First time they were in a room way too small for them, with expected results. The second time was also in one of the constructed spaces in the lower halls, but sounded a lot better that time. In fact quite promising. IMO...

    Speakers for Kondo Ongaku... Please Help

    FYI, ESD Acoustics has several speaker models using Truextent Beryllium diaphragms with Field Coil magnets. In fact, they make six different drivers that use both.

    Munchen High end show 2022

    You can trust morricab on that... In my experience, two days requires proper planning and you're still likely to miss a lot that you meant to check out. My first Munich show was in 2013 and it still happens to me... And don't forget Hifi Deluxe at the Marriott. I have a hotel booked but I'm...

    Speakers for Kondo Ongaku... Please Help

    I was going to say that they played some Blues Company, but I think it was actually Todor "Toscho" Todorovic's solo effort that year. Track 4 'Oh Lord' from this album. https://www.discogs.com/master/1756631-Toscho-Serious-Fun I've never seen or heard any of the Classic Audio speakers. WVL...

    Speakers for Kondo Ongaku... Please Help

    I’ve heard them a few times at the Warsaw AV show, in 2018 I believe. R2R tape and Jadis 845 amps. They only played a handful of tracks from tape, so kind of limited sampling, but I enjoyed it a lot. One of my show favourites, for sure.

    Anyone Understand Design Approach of Stenheim? What are they doing differently from Magico, YG, Wilson, etc., to have High Sensitivity?

    Strange video indeed. Turntable disappears and then appears again, but where do you see a CD player..?

    Magico M9

    MXO is also two box unit with a separate power supply to power the active circuitry. If it wasn't an active crossover, it could only attenuate signals and not have gain(stage).

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I doubt it was categorized as a nuclear reactor, it’s just that section 84 is titled "NUCLEAR REACTORS, BOILERS, MACHINERY AND MECHANICAL APPLIANCES; PARTS THEREOF”. My guess would be that the HS code was incomplete, for whatever reason, and thats why it only shows the first two digits and not...

    Cosidering Ayon CD35se

    Ayon CD-35 HF is the new limited edition version. Signature is (or was?) an optional upgrade to the base model, that added a PCM - DSD converter and Mundorf gold/silver capacitors. I’m not sure if the base version is available anymore, or if they all come with the DSD conversion included.
