Surely a more inviting environment than a brick & mortar dealership in a strip mall.

I may be easily impressed but color me such, not to mention what sonic delights await inside…

At least I AM impressed

No, we are not trying to impress anyone. Just put me on ignore if I bother you. This pic went along with the press release that was sent to all magazines and on-line magazines. The pic is a place holder until the equipment arrives in the next few weeks. Then pics of David's actual rooms inside his deck (the pic) will be replacing this pic as well as on the Rhapsody location page on Rhapsody.Audio.

It’s ok, there are many of us who like the Rhapsody lifestyle. Some of us just don’t want to admit it.

Hi Bob = I'm very happy to know that a version of Rhapsody Audio - Brooklyn will be only 30 minutes south of me. Awesome!

Nice sound! Which DAC?

 

Nice sound! Which DAC?

It was an Esoteric NO1-XD with the Taiko Extreme.

 

Yesterday's installation of Alsyvox Caravaggio at David Hyman's new California Rhapsody location which is located in Sausalito, CA in a setting overlooking the Bay. Mesmerizing views, internal and external.

We are using a temporary Esoteric DAC/NO1XD and Pilium Odysseus integrated while waiting for the ordered Pilium Alexander/Hercules as well at the Taiko Extreme/switch/router to be delivered. All VYDA cables.

Even with the Devialet 1000 the Caravaggios sounded amazing right out of the flight cases. I was surprised. It's a great listening environment.

Wonderful speakers and dangerously close to me!

Give David a call and come and visit. I'm sitting here the day after the installation, looking over the bay, listening to Crosby, Stills and Nash. Delightful.
