Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

This is "the calm before the storm". When Emile and his team go quiet you can bet that good things are about to happen. Edward said they are up to their elbows in work every day as they prepare for the launch

Indeed, busy times preparing for the XDMS, network card and switch launch! And we can travel again, we visited the
Sintonie High-End Video Exhibition on March the 26/27th at Palacongressi Rimini, Italy where our distributor SBH d.o.o. Sound By Hari was demoing the Extreme.

Thanks to the advice on this thread and after many years of procrastinating, the final piece of my puzzle is finally in place. I replaced my old TV stand (with glass shelves on a metal frame....I know, I know), with something worthy of the Extreme.

Sorry team, but unfortunately I am unable to place the Extreme on the top shelf due to the operational requirements of the HE-1. ; )

Oh dear. Jay can't see any benefit of the Extreme in his system.

Jay can’t “see” many things, mainly because his room doesn’t allow him to explore the full benefit of his fantastic gear.

I'm going to call him Jaylol from now on.
FWIW, this is the most popular thread on WBF and has maintained it's longevity by virtue of all the information traded. Virtually every Extreme user has posted here or has been reading this thread,. There are well over 1 million views and 10,200 posts. Not once in all of the years this thread has been going have I ever read any user say they cannot hear a difference with the Taiko Extreme. I rest my case
