    Good morning (or good evening, depending on time zone).... Really impressed with a particular aspect of my system and...like an ultra excited happy child....wanted to share experience. I will attribute this to the Pachanko/Diretta combination. One fantastic, short, piano piece in two...

    TDX, really nice!!! Enjoy... Looking at this wonderful photo (two posts above) of the Constellation under-side, of the copper underplate reminds me of a story.... A Japanese engineer who was obsessed with noise and shielding....he was working for Marantz.... He came to Europe and set up an...

    Bryans...do I understand correctly you have the Stellar Gravity grounding cable in system? If so, is there an audible difference? What was actual improvement if any? How do you have it connected (2 or 3 terminal?) Really curious...

    I knew I shouldn't have asked !!! :mad: :mad::(:eek: That is a system with very refined choice components... The Sikora turntable and the tonearm.... I can see why you would go Pachanko-Diretta-Sforzato way. A beautiful system, both analog and digital. Only thing left to ask....when are you...

    LOL+LOL:D:D:D I know for a fact that PachAnko Labs is an acronym.......

You will be speaking Japanese BUT also Korean (as there is also a well known...

    A fantastic sounding system. Had opportunity to have a "late" session. Great work from Chameleon Audio setting this up. The Revival Audio speakers have a very deep and lush sound and the Pachanko Reference injects that micro detail that elevates the experience to supreme. Here's the deal...

    New to music servers - Melco N1zs vs the rest…

    Hello 3125simon, Your reference above to combining digital with analog and obtaining a more analog result leads me to think that a combination of Pachanko Labs Constellation Computer Audio Transport and the Diretta (Japan) bridge/target would give you this result. Pachanko...

    ANOTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT Here is something worth mentioning. The addition of Constellation, Diretta and a better switch changed my speaker geometry :eek: :eek: :mad:!!!!!! When I added the Pachanko I had changed the position of my speakers (adding extra 10cm space between them and extra 10cm...

    Wish I could attend. After my trial of Diretta I was also equally happy with the improvement. Three days ago purchased my Diretta target and anxiously awaiting its arrival. Ok, now joking abit, I also believe that the person who developed Diretta (hello Yu!) is the soul brother of Chan...

    And adding to above info... The model I tested was the Diretta Canarino which retails - in Japan :cool: - for Euro 700. link is here... https://www.oliospec.com/shop/shopbrand.html?search=diretta&x=0&y=0 I m not exactly clear with differences as I also see the model PS2 which retails at half...

    You do...!!!! I think in your system would make an even more profound "high-end" tuning. You pay for the development, the target itself I don't think is a lot of cost (I mean, it is a small box much like an isolator or an i2s converter). But the sound...... :eek::p

    ...IGNORANCE IS BLISS.... Over the last 45 days I have enjoyed applying changes to my digital front end. This was not entirely planned this way. I think though this info to be useful to other members as long as I explain as plainly as possible what changes I applied and how these affected my...

    Looks fantastic! From your first impressions also sound fantastic. When you have time to audition with HQPlayer I would appreciate a short comment on differences with/without HQP at same sampling rates. Enjoy!

    No problem! I understand your frustration. But here is a 7th point that I wanted to share above but then left out. Didn't wanna stress you further. This is ultra personal...I think it depends on my personality. Maybe yours is different. I have also had delay experiences... The one time when I...
