    Moya M1- Vivid on Steroids

    What I like about Vivid is the fact that they re having character, uniqueness and an undeniable signature by Lawrence Dickie - this is far more than most leading brands re having - not to forget that so many of them are only shells with a legendary name (echoes from the past) - purely companies...

    What An Audiophile!

    ....I m having my view and I think I m not wrong or unfair to say why and where we lost the topic (again). In fact this was causing my bad reaction....I m pretty sure Jozua and I ll overcome this (knowing and respecting each other personally for many years). It takes more to offend me or Jozua...

    What An Audiophile!

    @Jozua...... the amount of members and datas the new owners got by their purchase ll be commercial used this way or the other - it is already having a monetary value by itself. Thats even ok I think (as long you are aware of). So being a "paying member" should be -without any judgement - a...

    Middle to Top range bookshelf owners

    from my side I can point out on the new Standmount Borresen X1. I will get some during April and to me the X3 is one of the best performing speakers I heard in a long time (at such price level). The X1 do have the same sound signature, a breathtaking build quality and beautyful, implements the...

    What An Audiophile!

    with all respect to the immense work of David Chesky.... and speaking in his own words "Cool what he does" - but I found his recordings (most) deadly boring and his new approach to bring things further has been done already throughout the exceptional work from Morton from 2L Recordings - and...

    What An Audiophile!

    [email protected] my side I cannot complain. The music I hear goes through good hands and 70-80% is wonderful to listen to. But yes.... there is bad stuff out there, ok stuff, good stuff, very good stuff and excellent stuff....and this on all excisiting formats.

    What An Audiophile!

    @Tzs503gp ......even they encounter excellence - they still going "safe" and buying the usual candidates (candidas :cool: ).... People buying brands & names and most probably the newer or bigger model than their friends and neighbours have. Even they encounter excellence and something which...

    What An Audiophile!

    After a long time I also enjoyed this time to participate in this discussion - because a.) I got somehow triggered by "my Avantgardes" (my kind of Waterloo in this country) and somehow about the general mislead in High End what was shown in these Videos and b.) there was or is a nice flow in the...

    What An Audiophile!

    @KenMasters .....I have heard the Trios many many times on different High End Shows or at dealers presentations - and in 90% I found them lousy in their performance. Many times I left the room within minutes. It also had to do with the choice of music - Yello, Heavy Metal and the usual...

    What An Audiophile!

    [email protected] me .....its very possible and pleasant to live with it - but truth is - it takes a while to get used to this scale of music reproduction and it takes (like always) time to get it "sounds right". Musicians do not really feel a need to have what most of us are in need...

    What An Audiophile!

    .....if sound doesnt really matter..... we would still making music on archaic instruments. Instruments themselves got far more over the centuries and they got more defined, better and perfectionized. A simple drum became a orchestra timpany, a Clavichord became a Piano. Why? Because Music &...

    What An Audiophile!

    .......its all about having great fun and to be taken into a wonderful illusion - a journey. There are many ways to do it right and to forget the fact that all we hear isnt "really real" and only gets delivered by "boxes". And even at that level (as we ve seen in that video) you can do it...

    What An Audiophile!

    .......I take your orders NOW ...:-). My G2 Trios...are not far behind this new Generation of Trios -but havent found a buyer yet. Its always great to see that these fantastic speakers finding the reputation and reviews they deserve - and quite many buyers in other parts of the world as well...

    Which Turntable Do I Keep?

    I will always have a 2 Arm Brinkmann Audio Balance ....(most here have never seen or experienced a Balance). I truly regret that I sold many years ago the Balance grandchild - the german "audiolabor" Konstant TT from the late 70ies. Regardless rocket high prices of whatever TTs on the market - I...

    Matching pre amp with power amp

    Pierre....remember the "absolute magic" in combining my french Audiomat Valve Pre with your Class D design driving these amazing Soltanus Electrostats. We havent expected such a marriage but it was sheer unbelievable in the result - and it made mefinally believing in modern Class D designs as I...

    Which amplifier will you keep for life????

    any Gryphon Audio is a keeper to me...... since the early 90ies there was no time without either a XT100 Pre & DM100 Stereo, or Antileon or Antileon Evo, all kind of Diablos of course, a Pandora Pre is always a fantastic choice and maybe the upcoming Diablo 333 will be a keeper for some here as...
