Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

[Christiaan Punter]

Never a dull moment at Taiko HQ!



So now I wonder, how do you get the new HAAS unit hauled over to its intended destination? Just a bunch of these?

 

[Armsan]

Lots of bubble wrap on this one!

Emile, congrats and please, recycling all that wrap is very important too. I know you will .

ahh the big reveal...Initially I thought it was the packing case for the new Extreme BPS. Congrats Emile. I don't know about doing MRI's and CT scans with that but it is one serious piece of machinery. I'd sure like to see the Power cord used to light that baby up

Very nice! It does look like it could double as a mobile espresso bar. I also looked up the msrp and is less than some amplifiers!

@Taiko Audio , what part of the process will this allow you to do in-house?

Nothing new, just roughly quadruples our machining capacity and reduces office hours. It can machine 24 switches at a time for example, and run 24/7 unattended.

What about SQ??

It’s a steal!

This depends on the power cable used to power it. But we can be sure that Emile did some comparative listening tests and is using the best cable for the job! ;-)

 

[Tuckia]

Hmmm. Does jitter lead to chatter? Try some of that Taiko magic on the CNC modules.

 

[tsaett]

Emile, I recall you promised on this thread to not wear flip flops near heavy machinery ever again

The force is strong with this one.

Q - a while ago the possibility for supporting Airplay functionality via the Taiko router was raised. This would be terrific for YouTube music videos etc. Is it still on the cards?

Yes, but further down the road I’m afraid.

@Taiko Audio, any updates on likely shipping date for our Router/Distributors? Must be getting close, right?!

Good news. Can I ask what is the current delivery time for a switch and network card?

Yes, really just waiting for the chassis finishing company which now appears to become the main bottleneck. We found another company with a faster turnaround we send samples to. We have also purchased polishing machines to do that part in house which speeds up things aswell, but we’re not quite ready to do the actual surface finishing yet as that’s a chemical process.
