...but guys would still argue that the recorded exhaust note wasn't right. Too much glass in the room where recorded. Not natural sound indoors...it was meant to be heard outside, at higher RPMs. Indoors, you would need to run it on a dyno at X-RPMs. But dyno whine impacts recording. Let's compare videos of my car in my room.

Just rev it up to the max , then play the recording on max volume .
That will put an end to all the audiofile arguing quit quickly :cool:
( looks like a GT3 to me )

Jeroen has been happy with his Atlantis since 2018 or 19, Bjorn travelled last month to install the Titan, and Jeroen also ordered a Vyger Indian for his second room, which Giuseppe installed last week.

both are working great, he is setting up the second room. The Atlantis continued in the Cessaro Zeta room with Techdas and Dohmann 2 and multiple pivots

he tried his Opus on the vyger, but went back to the red sparrow. The Indian and Atlantis now both have the red sparrow. For the Indian he has the Aries cerat phono which is also voiced with the Red sparrow because Stavros uses it on the Galder linear tracker.

i haven’t heard this as it is being set up.

personally I am not interested in comparing to his Cessaro itself. Based on picture, the Alsyvox room looks better than the custom purpose built Cessaro room. The gear differs. The Aries cerat phono here is voiced with the linear tracking red sparrow which Stavros too loves, so might have more synergy.

i am quite convinced off the horn route over Alsyvox, irrespective of whether Cessaro sounds better than it or not.

at Rhapsody Dallas the Diesis and Alsyvox can be heard in the same room. Only thing next time will be to try the Alsyvox with Kagura or such, as last time heard it with the Pilium.

I just remembered an interesting video tidbit. Back in 2018 - 2019 when Bill and I used to listen to the Vyger RS at the General's, the RS was sounding poor on SME 3012r, Schroeder CB, and Veretere arms that it was auditioned on. Then, there were a couple of videos from Stavros' room playing it with the Galder where Bill and I heard some of the same magic we could identify from the cartridge that we were hearing the Vyger. Granted, the video would not have to a person not exposed to the Vyger RS - but this was a clear video benefit and enough to make a hunch to try the RS on the Sindre. I knew Gian was selling his, so Bill bought one to save costs from an Atlantis, and we both found that the Sindre had a lot of similar (though not same level) type of red sparrow magic. Jeroen after so many years is finding that too. Amazing video data point contribution. We would not have made that linear tracker connection if we had only heard it on the Vyger, it was the video that led us to try it on another LT.

Some excellent audio porn, better than pics of just gear alone. And I would LOVE to have those high ceilings.

I wonder how sound changes if he chooses Ferrari?

I have the Kagura and the Alsyvox in the same room. The Kaguras sounds ok on the Botticelli, but doesn't have enough power. Not a good match.

Since I put all NOS tubes in the VAC set up, with 200 Watts/channel it sounds really good on the Botticelli.

Dear MRubey,

I very much hope that you are able to work with Rhapsody should you plump for a Vyger.

They will surely advise you and guide you through any issues that may arise. If I could guarantee a properly built, vacuum hold working, vernier working, levelling fully working Atlantis.........? I would buy one.

Kindest regards,G.

He doesn't have to guarantee it, Rhapsody guarantees it and VYGER guarantees it. I would have Giuseppe from VYGER fly over and do the installation. No real risk. I have three working and reliable Atlantis tables at our Brooklyn, Dallas and Portland locations.

There is at the moment a 3-4 month lead time as VYGER has many orders since the Titan has been introduced, that is the only issue that might not work for some potential VYGER customers.
