    Aries Cerat Symphonia Review

    If you want to be transported to a Tablao Flamenco, I highly recommend this album: Youtube doesn´t do the XRCD justice, but close your eyes and it´s like you´re there.

    GoldenSound did an excellent two part review of the May with some good comparisons, I like his style:

    The fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cable

    Hi Testy, just a quick correction, Greg Weaver has awarded the Fidelium "Audio Product Of the Decade" saying they are "the most influential audio product of the past decade" that includes all other audio categories and is extremely high praise.

    The fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cable

    Does anyone have news on the matching interconnects and the even better performing new speaker cable? No mention of them on their web page / blog.

    Difference in violins

    For those wanting to listen to Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu violins there is a CD with the great Ruggiero Ricci playing a selection of them, together with some Stradivarius and others, it´s called "The Glory Of Cremona"...

    Looking For The Perfect Listening Chair

    I beg to differ, I have a Poang and although it seemed comfortable at the shop I find it uncomfortable to sit in for longer than half an hour, granted I´m 6ft 5 and 250lbs and also have a bad back which doesn´t help my case, but having sat on Stressless / Ekornes recliners the difference is...

    The fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cable

    Greg Weaver seems smitten by these cables, that has to be one of the most glowing reviews I´ve read in a long time, to the point a "product of the decade" award will be bestowed upon the Fidelium, what left me scratching my head was the end sentence: "And Jeff says not only are the matching...

    Surprised not to see Hans Ole Vitus mentioned yet, I´d love to listen to / own an SIA-030.

    Help with USB DAC and Moto G6

    No, not necessarily, look at the specs of the DAC in the phone, if you want a good sounding phone with a decent DAC / Amp look at the LG V30,40,50 or 60 and the LG G6,7 or 8 series (with quad DAC). The older models should be pretty cheap.

    PlayClassics album premiere for WBF members

    Muchas gracias Mario, gran trabajo y excelente sonido. The sound is open, airy and detailed and I really enjoyed listening, the comparison videos were revelatory, impressive stuff. The only thing I missed was a bit of analogue "warmth" so to speak. Mario, have you ever contemplated recording in...

    Mario, first of all thank you very much for your generosity, If it´s still available I would love a code to be able to listen to the album.

    High End Audio... Really?

    Ron, most of us here are men and not millenials, we keep the forum alive and to be honest some low class banter and frolicking can be really fun sometimes, maybe you should try it, instead of criticizing those who engage in it because it might alienate your new target demographic. I come here to...

    Chronosonic XVX.

    I´m sure Wilson Audio and their dealers are masters in the art of setting up speakers to sound their best in the room where they´re placed and would have advised against installing them if fantastic results weren´t possible, I´m also convinced they´re most likely realizing their full potential...

    Most beautiful amp and or preamp

    Thank you IB, I do have to agree with you though in that a bit of salt and pepper every now and then adds flavour to the forum, can in some cases add knowledge and certainly does away with the tedium. Whilst I´m at it, may I ask about the origin of your displeasure with the McIntosh looks? I´d...

    Most beautiful amp and or preamp

    Your reply leaves me baffled sir, not infinitely but almost , are you a dermatologist by any chance? :) I appreciate your concern but my skin is fine. You could speak all day about your distaste for McIntosh aesthetics as far as I´m concerned, just maybe not here since this is a place to speak...

    Most beautiful amp and or preamp

    It´s a thread about what one considers to be beautiful, not about what you don´t...but if you feel so strongly as to post about it you could maybe open a thread yourself about the most ugly amps ;)

    MSB Select II arrival

    This might happen on other forums but I really don´t think this is the case here Stereophonic. Regarding Dietmar I think I read somewhere he´s not the nicest chap to deal with but nothing regarding his integrity, he either has it or he doesn´t, not doubting what you know, but I think It´s...

    WA International Hi-Fi Shows

    Hi Joe, do you know if the XVX will be shown at those venues and if it will be more than a passive display? On another notice, has the Polaris center channel been discontinued? The Polaris photo / link on the Wilson Audio website says page not found and when you click on products - center...

    LampizatOr Amber 2 - heavily underestimated gem

    If you go to the end of the review and see the scores, the Amber III scores a 5 out of 5 on everything except fit and finish where it scores a 4, I think that´s the most impressive score I´ve ever seen on the Enjoy the Music site, the Amber must be a serious music making machine and it makes you...

    New Wadax Atlantis Reference Dac

    I´m just posing the question since it just entered my mind and ask because I lack the listening experience, but what about omnidirectional speakers? Have any of you guys had quality time to evaluate them vs more traditional approaches?

    New Wadax Atlantis Reference Dac

    Hello micro, I tried the multichannel way with music and to be honest I prefer stereo, I didn´t perceive any advantage or increase in my enjoyment of the music, BUT as far as movie watching is concerned the enjoyment was substantially incremented and the experience much more immersive, so in my...

    New Wadax Atlantis Reference Dac

    You´ve seen the future of audio, but have you heard it? :) I agree with your first sentence, innovation in the highend seems to translate to bigger, heavier, shiny and stratospherically expensive, those fundamental changes you talk about haven´t been heard in the past decade and I remain...

    New LAMPI cases yummy

    It looks really good and is another step in improving the aesthetics of the Lampizator line, which is moving away from the DIY look towards more pleasing to the eye designs.
