MSB, Marten

Odeon room sounding excellent with NAF amps and a Rega P10/Lyra on some cardboard. You can spend a lot more on your TT but this is definitely more than adequate.

Lovin' it for acoustic based material.View attachment 109826View attachment 109827

Yes very good sound…when I liked the music choice!

 

[morricab]

Did you like what you heard in the Thax room?

Yes, I thought it was one of the best rooms with a smallish speaker.

 

[andromedaaudio]

My conclusion after both hifideluxe and MOC over a 2 year span.
If money is no object and you want the best sound....available .
Its the FM Acoustics XS1 system with FM 1811 monos which i heard last year.
Manuel is a master at extracting the most out of records as well.
Add a wadax for digital and that would be it lol

New YG Hailey 3.2.

New Estelon Aura, with dCS and Simaudio Moon.

Kaiser two-way with Ypsilon gear and Air Force One TD. The big speakers were playing most of the time, but they brought this little one for a bit too.

New Bergmann Galder / Odin Signature in the Cessaro/Alieno room.

Zellaton with YS, and a whole bunch of Reed analog. I've only heard the bigger one, not sure if they played the smaller. Room gets props for playing a track off the 2nd UFO album, at suitably loud volume of course.

I think it was fine sounding
It were very nice TT designs which were playing , both of hem
But I would have liked to hear the darts on the rockport orion for example.

Wadax was again the digital to beat .
I Listened extensively to Keith Jarret koln concerts which i have on tape on the wadax .
Magico wadax pilium..
Wadax is very good may be better then tape due to the noise reduction

You seem to not like wide dynamic range because every room with WADAX sounded like it was run through a compressor. All you had to do is compare to the Kronos TT in the Goebel room to hear the painfully obvious difference in dynamics.

The big Kaisers with Ypsilon was one of the non-horn systems for dynamics and live feeling…really great.

GOEBEL CH.

Sounds good

Much better last year with True Life Audi (TLA) amps…CH sucked out the life…then WADAX made it worse.

 

[morricab]

My best room so far i think .
Zensati Viola labs and Brodmann loudpeakers.
Viola labs is definetively a top SS contender.
Digital : Aurender and metronome

Probably 500k in power cables alone!!

Can you give me the product name of a suitable compressor.
So i can buy one and put it in my system

Lol.
U see ,....i dont discriminate against cables

There's a lot going on in those. Hope that helps you visualize what's going on better.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about Diotyque speakers not Aries Cerat. The AC speaker is a big compression mid with 4 open baffle woofers (active) and a RAAL ribbon tweeter in a custom horn.

 

[Zero000]

Yes very good sound…when I liked the music choice!

That's half the problem, catching rooms playing something decent at the right volume.

Enough hi-fi. Time for some pricey specialist brews...

 

[jeff1225]

Definitely going...as every year.

Highlights to hear:

Aries Cerat
living Voice with Kondo or other exotic tube gear
Alsyvox, hopefully with a more capable amp
Diesis with ? (heard with Kondo and own made hybrid...both were spectacular)
Acapella
Viva audio
Goebel, depending on source and electronics used
Live Act Audio
Supravox
Stein Music is usually interesting to very good.
Odeon with NAF or NAT or??
hoRNS with hopefully tubes this year (the amp last year was not letting the speakers shine, IMO)
WVL with Aries Cerat or Air Tight (didn't like so much in the past with Air Tight but let's see)
TotalDAC, which was superb last year
Western electric/Silbatone.


Basically the opposite of your list but, YMMV....

Your list is my list.

You obviously don’t live in London then

Wolf von Langa with Air Tight. Big sub in the corner.

Kharma and more Kharma.

Rockport with Absolare

And I'm sure you all seen pictures of this... all 3.6 million euros of it...

Vitus with Focal.

 

[Rhapsody]

I purchased Odeon Carneiges in poplar and a pair of Odeon Rigolettos. Rhapsody will now be adding Odeon to their product line up and representing Odeon in the US.

 

[Zero000]

Ked your wish is my command.

Play on Auto Repeat or the dance step action is missed.
