I thought the video was like watching the academy awards. Full of blaze and glory
Interesting that Irv was there for the setup but I didn't see Alon

I just felt the video didn't flow well and the audio was way out of proportion to the commentary. Either bring the vocal up or turn the music WAY down.
Nice vid and great set up , but where is that machine that turns with 33/45 revs per minute and has only 1 arm (usually)
The speakers went up yesterday morning at 10 am and Alon got to Wilmington around 6 yesterday evening. Irv was there to help unpack the speakers, not position them. Jeff and I did that yesterday before Alon arrived. Last night, they fiddled with the position a bit and then dialed them in this morning. Jeff has already posted a small article on that process along with an in-room measurement for those that maybe interested.
As far as the quality of the video, we are pleased with it. It was done by a local guy who is doing it as a favor to Jeff. While improvements could be made, I haven't seen anything like it in the audio press. Seeing it earlier this afternoon was very exciting for us. The coverage of the event will be as live as any coverage Soundstage has ever delivered.

actually fellow member here Peter Breuninger has been doing this for the past 4 months or so at www.avshowrooms.com
I am very curious as to what you guys think about the performance of the Aurender... I keep hearing negative comments from potential dealers, with respect to treble... It was at the top of my list when I started inquiring about it...
I auditioned it in my own system a few months back. At the time, the unit was in for review, but after a couple of weeks it became a contender for TWBAS. So, I wrote a story about the S10 instead of review it. I did not have any issues in my system. I also used it for a couple hours today and found no issue with it. None of the other people present today mentioned anything negative about the sound either. Caesar commented that the system had "no soul", but we told him he was there to deliver the pizza, not give his opinions.
I have never seen that site before. Doug started doing videos years ago, but I am not sure he found the response worth the effort he put into it.
Simply awesome Jeffrey!
* That is it! That is the exact system setup I was trying to put together a little while ago. :b
Enjoy the weekend,
Bob
Good afternoon, gentlemen. If you folks do not mind me asking, how long will this setup be up and running?

Steve, your comment is most perceptive. One thing that has bugged me is that high-end audio gear is displayed so poorly. Think about this: Google most gear and what comes up? Photos of the stuff in a cheap hotel room with a $10 artificial plant next to it (at CES or RMAF of whatever). If our gear is to compete with the luxury goods out there that garner people's disposable income, we must do a better job. This video is part of our attempt to help do just that.

Yes... it is a good word, to bring "what" in the mix, to add some spice, even...
The thing is, a rather peculiar thing, when in the frying pan, as it reaches correct temperature, it turns dark orange, almost brownish in hue, like the spice melange from the movie Dune..
Coincidence? Could be, could be, who knows...

Yes Jeff, it was included in your first original link. :b
* Amazing frequency response from that graph! You guys are so privileged.
I wish that I could be invited in your 'Audiophile Music' clan.
Thanx for all that you guys do for the 'audiophiles' at large.
Bests,
Bob
P.S. By the way Jeff, the Magico LLC Q7 retails for how much again (USD) for the pair?
{I know that the Q5 retails for $59,950/pair USD.}

Imperial, did you know that your username is also French? :b
DEV, the quote above is defacto the reason why I said what I said before and that you just quoted me above.
=> "That is it! That is the exact system setup I was trying to put together a little while ago."
...In fact a month ago (the quote on top), from few pages back (page 49, post #481).
Also, if you go to the beginning of this thread you'll see what it's all about.
...There is a continuity. And often on the Internet not everyone is awared of that continuity.
And sometimes it brings confusion, misinterpretation, etc.
*** Jeffrey asked us before to suggest our best 'shot' on loudspeakers (very high-end with real good sound) to be reviewed by him and his team. ...And suggestions for the electronica as well.
Bests,
Bob
