    Level 5 introduced

    Mike, my initial understanding is the transport will be available as a stand alone product with "normal" connections, it will also be available with the AKASA optical option, they will have a dual module for those who already have a server and DAC and that the reference power supply is an...

    The new Bending Wave Gobel Divin Noblesse Reference System

    I want to thank everyone that attended Axpona 2024. We tried and I think we succeeded with a ton of effort to show some of what my reference system has been doing in Florida at a show. We overcame many of the room problems, not all, and IMO produced and showed what a level 4 WADAX system along...

    Level 5 introduced

    I have not yet seen it but my understanding is it is DUAL module to allow a user to use both the server and the new transport into the reference dac. The current module only accepts one AKASA input. I am looking foward to hearing and seeing it in MOC and then perhaps later this year having it...

    Bob , I heard that we will have some common ground at Munich with your electronics and our speakers. I look foward to that.

    Munich HighEnd 2024

    Personally I don't think the rooms at either place are inherently better. At MOC/Hi Fi Deluxe there are some that get great results. They get those results with planning and execution. They have more advance time than here at the US shows. The proof as they say is in the pudding. You either know...

    Axpona 24’ Mike Lavigne pics

    It can take a lot of time to figure out how to tame some of these hotel spaces particularly when you have very limited time . I know in my case it took assembling a team so that we had the resources and the time to fix some serious problems. We still can't fix even most of them but we have...

    "Long-Term Equipment Loans: A Win-Win for Everyone" by Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound

    Gary, I agree that the used market is a necessity for the this Industry or any high end reatil Industry to grow. Used cars, watches , houses,machines etc. are all part of a growing Industry. The issue for me is the grey area that many manufacturers have pushed us too. Much of the "used" gear...

    "Long-Term Equipment Loans: A Win-Win for Everyone" by Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound

    thats not exactly it but you are not faroff. There are a few people in and around the audio industry that buy and sell used gear. Some of this gear, most of this gear comes from dealers.They may have been traded in or they may have been inventory that the dealer could not sell and they unload it...

    "Long-Term Equipment Loans: A Win-Win for Everyone" by Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound

    It is unfortunate that so many that comment on forums and youtube don’t understand the business of audio. I’m not saying this to be combative or to be condescending but rather to try to explain how this business works. There are too many outlets for product. There are too many products sold to...

    "Long-Term Equipment Loans: A Win-Win for Everyone" by Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound

    Well my comments Michael weren't just addressed to you, they were in response to the previous author and the world of audio at large. What may be applicable to you is not in fact applicable to the rest of the others that call themselves reviewers. If you had 7 figures of long term loaned gear...

    If this is correct than the entire review process has as they say "jumped the shark". If there are reviewers for everything then there are reviewers for nothing. If everything gets a good review or the reviewer is being influenced or controlled than please explain to me the purpose and the...

    ARC announces price increase effective Mid-March '24

    There are a few , not mentioning anyone by name, that are here just to stir the pot. Asking hard questions and having meaningful discussions are great. In fact as a country and a world we need to get back to this, however calling stuff crap, garbage, using inflamatory nicknames, accusing...

    Tesla Model Y performance

    Joe, your personal experience is not the truth for the entire country and the world. We mine almost none of the materials used in making the batteries. The same people in California that want full EV and the same people lobbying against the mining of lithium and cobalt for environmental...
