Isn’t there the other guy in Belgium with the Magico / Alieno system too?


Another WBF member will also be joining you with the Atlantis next month, Bill.

Not you Tang?
I’ve heard this thing, it’s a work of sheer genius.

Yes I heard from Ked. I am really excited about that indeed as always good to share knowledge and experience.

I should have written also that I think he will be really thrilled at what he hears - it is a very special TT indeed. Often the massively over-engineered monster tables can let one down a little due to lack of life ime. Not here - it manages that clever trick of both incredible measured performance (very low noise, incredible timing as verified on my apps) and superb tone, decay, flow, textured bass with slam.

Yes i bought Vyger Atlantic and will arrive 9 of July.

I had 15 years ago Indian signature and i remember fantastic sound with Graham 1.5

I listen Atlantis many times in my life and was amazing but never bought because old had some problems on pump that became very hot and lost oil,tonearm with problems,so i never bought
Now this new generation is all completely new and solved all the old problems and seem perfect.
I spoke many times with Vyger partner,mr Datti Enrico and explained all very well,
i found a new Atlantis in the shop of my friends and with a special offer he did to me i bought and 9of july him and Mr Datti will bring to me

Last I checked "Unit" of a man has the same meaning there as it does here, not particularly flattering:confused:.

Hi David,

Alas your knowledge of British colloquialism is somewhat off piste. Firstly the General is my friend so clearly I would not select a derisory adjective. Secondly it means a tall man of broad shoulders who likely plays contact sports in my social circles.

in Seattle we had a Baseball pitcher by the name of Randy Johnson who was nick-named 'The Big Unit'.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/sport...-fame-wild-thing-big-unit-20150106-story.html

he was 6 foot, 10 inches of nastiness. i'd argue maybe the most intimidating pitcher of all time, and one of the very best too. 'Mr. Snappy' was his best pitch. it was essentially unhittable. many batters would bail out on a regular basis.

and Randy liked his nick-name.

true story. Randy is an audiophile. he bought the WP5.1's I traded in to Definitive Audio for my WP6.0's in 1998.

Aha Mike. So not a million miles from my definition. Presumably this pitcher was revered? I don’t get why this would be seen as a negative?

he was revered, loved even. personally he was a jerk, but that was part of the whole magic at the time. later he grew up and mellowed personally.
