    I just came across this thread and wanted to add Lumen White, they use Shunyata Research cables for the internal wiring.

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

    WOW, awesome thread with lots of mouthwatering pictures of beautiful tunrntables. TW Acustic Raven AC with Kuzma Stogi and an old AQ 7000 Fe5 over here. I actually wanted an Oracle Delphi at first, simply because of its looks, but the Company that imports them to Germany didn't answer my mail...

    So I bought I pair of Rockports...

    WOW those Speakers simply look gorgeous. The rest of the System as well as the room looks very good too. Very warm and very inviting to just sit back, relax and enjoy ones favorite music. Really a perfect example of how to integrate room treatment without ending up with a too cold/professional look.

    Brazilian 2ch room

    Hello Joao, your room looks nice, i especially dig the diffusors. I always like looking at Tidal speakers (and amps) but i haven't had a chance to audition any of them yet. I had never heard of Audiopax before but i just searched the web and they make quite an interesting read. I'm sure they...

    ADGold - the underground system

    The Vicoustic stuff looks really great, i've seen it at an audio show a couple of month back. Also it's not too expensive (in audio terms) thats why i'm contemplating using it for my new room. I'm looking forward to seeing your room develop, acoustic Treatments as well as 501's. Until then...

    ADGold - the underground system

    Nice System, and a good looking room as well. I love your Focal Speakers, i had the Micro Utopia BE before i switched to floorstanding Lumen White monitors. Never heard the Focal/McIntosh combination but i read about good synergy between those brands quite often. The only suggestion i have, or...

    Any one here ever had listening experience with Trigon Elektronik?

    It's doubtful. I would like to go, i've never been to the Show in Munich but i don't think i will have the time.

    Any one here ever had listening experience with Trigon Elektronik?

    First of all i have to apologize, i didn't take any Pictures because i forgot my DSLR at home when i went to the show. In the Trigon room, one of the bigger and better rooms, they were using the Epilog integrated amp with the Chronolog streamer, the sound was alright but nothing too special...

    Which is your favourite, vintage Watch?

    Nice watch, the Constellation. I have one of those as well: My favorite vintage is this Rolex "Bubble Back" though: I inherited this from my uncle, well in a way, he died before i was born. So this watch is especially valuable to me. I just got it back from the watchmaker who...

    Colored vinyl vs. Black vinyl sound quality

    Yes, it really is quite inteeresting. It would be great if some expert could shed some light on this matter. Sometimes you are presented with a choice of whether you want to buy a certain album on black/colored/picturedisc/clear or what not vinyl.... Just recently i bought the Drive...

    Colored vinyl vs. Black vinyl sound quality

    The studio version of August and Everything After has been re-released as a 45rpm DoLP late last year i beleive. I have a copy here. I'm still looking for a reasonably priced original pressing though, but here in germany people are asking 300€ (which is about 400$) for those... Good thing i...

    Colored vinyl vs. Black vinyl sound quality

    Personally i've never had the chance to audition the same mastering of an LP pressed on colored vs. black vinyl. However I have read a similar thread to this one on a german analog forum and the consensus was that, while black does sound better than colored the differences aren't as big as...

    New York Listening/Living Room

    Beautiful room and stunning gear Brian, congrats. And then, of all the cities, it's in my favorite city in the world :D I wonder, is your Soulution a 720 or 721? If it's a 720, how does the phonostage compare to the ARC Phono? Do you have the ARC because it's better or is it just different?

    What are your "go to" recording(s)

    Good to know about the CR. From what i had read before i thought it was on par with the MFSL. Please let us know about the outcome when you compare the MFSL to the Discovery. I only have one, Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run, and i like it. I didn't know about the sh.tv consensus being "anti...

    Any one here ever had listening experience with Trigon Elektronik?

    Will do. If there are enough interesting things to see i'll start a new thread with pictures. If there's only Trigon i'll post them here.

    Any one here ever had listening experience with Trigon Elektronik?

    Let's hope they have vinyl. Even their budget phono stage is supposed to be very good so maybe you're right. The show isn't going to be at a dealer, it's at a hotel.

    What are your "go to" recording(s)

    Davey, i haven't heard the MFSL 200g (or the Classic Records 200g for that matter). I have read on a german analog forum where people had compared the different pressings and the Discovery came out on top for almost everybody. That's why i sought out this particular pressing. IIRC they used a...

    What are your "go to" recording(s)

    I figuered as much but thanks for confirming my suspicions. I keep looking for a copy but i haven't found one yet. As for the tapes, unfortunately i cannot play them... yet :) Sooner or later i'll give anything analog a try i guess

    What are your "go to" recording(s)

    Yuri Honing Trio - Walking on the Moon from their album Star Tracks (CD) Muddy Waters - Folk Singer (Discovery Sounds vinyl) Eva Cassidy - Songbird (vinyl mastered by Steve Hoffman) Pink Floyd - DSOTM (i slightly prefer the Toshiba Black Triangle CP35-3017 over MFSL UDCD II, never heard...

    Any one here ever had listening experience with Trigon Elektronik?

    So they were the big guns :) When it comes to Trigon anyway. I'll see what they have at the audio show but as i said i seriously doubt they'll have analog playback, which is a pity because i prefer analog over digital. Knowing now what you think about their digital source i'll adjust my...

    Any one here ever had listening experience with Trigon Elektronik?

    Hi Odyno, being a german company Trigon is pretty well known over here. Even though they are not the most famous company here either, not by a long shot. I don't have any listening experience with Trigon whatsoever but after reading your post i'll be sure to check it out. Though it seems...

    Sensible options for a daily-use wrist watch

    Wow, those are some VERY nice watches. I'd prefer a WG or SS Calatrava but that's just a matter of personal taste. Speaking of taste, you Sir have it in spades :) Congrats on those beautiful timepieces.

    What Cartridge(s) Is Everyone Using

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys :) I actually was offered the Lyra Clavis DC when i was looking for a cartridge to replace my DL 103 but after reading the review of both carts on stereophile i decided to go with the AQ pretty quickly and have not yet regretted my choice.

    What Cartridge(s) Is Everyone Using

    I'm using an AudioQuest AQ 7000 Fe5. If you're interested you can check out Michael Fremers review here. I bought this used from Thomas Woschnik (the TW of TW-Acustic in case anyone wonders), after i told him what i was looking for: basically a higher resolution DL 103 for my Raven AC with...

    Sensible options for a daily-use wrist watch

    I like the look of that Citizen, looks a bit like the Cartier Tank. I really don't mind heavy watches but i can see the benefits in wearing something thin and lightweight. No, i haven't yet but i'll be sure to check it out. I am really into cars, especially older cars, even though i don't...

    Sensible options for a daily-use wrist watch

    Man this forum keeps getting better and better. I came across WBF yesterday looking for infos on Vitus and darTZeel amps since i'm looking to upgrade. And now i see you guys are into watches too. Awesome, i feel like finally i'm amongst my own kind :D My choice for daily wear is a IWC...
