I feel the same way. I unintentionally ordered a lot twice, some are a back-up, others are up for grabs. I also invest specifically in records with the potential to increase in value, but only in the fields of jazz and classical music. As a collector, separation is a foreign word anyway..
I agree with part of the statement, so I buy two of them! to listen one the other as an investment.
I hope that the following generation will have the legacy, but you can't control their interests..
i enjoy the appreciation with the possibility of earning a return in old age if needed.....
when i observe the price development at discogs etc , eg. see below , bought for 200 euro new still sealed . it seems to be better investment as at actual stock market. that only counts most for limited edition, sure.....
....is it an option for additional security in old age?. ..
anybody out...
Yes ,particulary the pre amp is the Model which was tested by the World press. I had all octave pre amp and mono amp before, from bottom to top line., not without reason.
Like in an other thread discussed about burn in time, i must confess, the mono amplifier require minimum 150 h, after...
Yes the supplier is vicoustic, you are right. Listen classic or Jazz, is very emotional ..and Studio Environment Look would not keep me long on the Sofa..
..
fully agree !, its underrated ,
i have consulted an acoustic engineer, to execute measurments in my room , pics were used in a basic expose about influence of room acoustics, and publsihed in german magazin , link see below

If so , its ok
... i made good experince with big plants in the corner, works like an acoustic diffusor,
...Mr. Böde, Editor from a german hifi Magazin, named stereo ,..like to mention.., during his Workshops.. if grandma drops by for a Visit,.. put her in the corner ,...the Sound will...
great looking! , but i am wondering if you have no issues with roommodes, due to no absoption at the wall behind the speakers, respectivly in the corner?

Dear Peter,
This is Art of living, ....fully in accordance with my aestetic demand.
I addore such style. Would spend hours , even the cheapest Radio would play.
Its perfect combination of money and style. Chapeau!
Remember me somehow of a good old time wih values.
Was smiling, reading...
The original question was reffering to the precondition that all units are off!
according the gained experience at least with my System , It will take days..no idea how many, till the point of sonic Balance is achieved.
I would rate 70 / 30 % change after 1 h listening ..
Viewed emotionaly the...
Of course there is no more question, to invest in this regard,fully agree.
It Is like driving supercar and buy cheap fuel...
Thermical balance after 1 h i agree!
but no point of Balance regarding sonic improvment...First time in 20 years i kept running phono preamp around 4 Days continously...
i also use the PS 20 in my system , before the PS 10, am very satisfied with it ,
... and can confirm not to hear the smallest noise via senstive MC signal!
, even with high volume setting in stand by,
with former XP 25, a hum in right speaker was once heard, but clearly identified due to...
Thx a lot ,your comment is highly appreciated!
In deed the mono amplifiers, will switch in an eco stand by Mode anyway after a certain time. Thus i only keep the preamp on Power.
If i can detect the sonic difference, if a turnable is 1 h prelubrited in the bearing ..
It will be...
thx!
. yes indeed,.. modified to SE version and modified with KT 150 tubes, which had positive impact, in comparison to KT 120, which were in use before.
thx. a lot for your commen! really apreciated
, i was aware of this longtime , but due to "bad habit" and act. saving enery discussions, i simply did not focus in a serious way.
the reason , why now? is simple , because hunting for the better sound , illness of any audiophile :), i need to...
Due to energy saving habit i used to Start my System, pre amp and mono Apps Designer as tubes including a pass XP 27 phono preamp, ans stoped after Listening sessions, up to max. 4h.
I realized that Sound quality always at the end is the best.not a big surprise, on the other site, i dont...
i made my journey with pass only ...:)
xono first,.. then xp 25
now xp 27 , if you like the fingerprint of pass, stay with it! most value for money IMO
the delta from xono to 25 is simply spoken, hugh.
but the xp 25 was not "dead", at least in my case... i put them of top of each other...
Digital is like Karajan,....Coca Cola for the masses,... analog is like celibidache..
I Outsourced CD Player from Main gear,...... Listen via headphone in a separate rroom..
Thus my System is pure analog....reduced to the max..
I just exchange my ikt 120 against it 150 in my octave jubilee mono amplifiers, burning in ,take some time , after reading your description won believe , I realize exactly same , with 2 experienced lister he had a session, and all confirmed I could not express better,..just 40 h passed so still...
reading all these comments , ....as a jazz and classic enthuisiast i think i have no choice :)
... the opus 1 must be integrated in my system ..
i hope the difference to my actuall pc1 supreme will be so significant, that the amount of tears i will spill, in comparison, will be doubled
Then...
