@amirm your pics aren't showing up, just the pic filename is showing but none of the pics - don't think it's a problem on my end here.

Its weird as the first few posts were fine when I started to read them - but now all the photos seems to bad links

Thank you Amirm for the review and sample songs [went off to purchase some Sohn], however some of the images don't display and just show the placeholder. Hope you get a good dose of catch-up sleep now.

I don't see a single picture either.

Thanks for the report, but I am not getting to see many pictures - example below:

Crap. Dropbox is bandwidth limiting and disabling all links...

Edit: coughed dup $130 and now dropbox is happy.

 

[amirm]

Chime in if you still don't see the images. Otherwise, I am going to crawl back in bed now....

 

[AluminiumEar]

Can't believe you didn't bring an APx555 and shitting on those snake oil

 

[Jimbob54]

That's dedication to the cause! Was gonna give you a donation to ease the pain, but I've seen my yearly contribution hasn't expired yet (& doesn't let me give the same donation again), so I'll do that next month!

First suite was Aaavik , Borrensen and ansuz:

Like the huge LED on this Forte 3 all in one streamer, amplifier and DAC. Didn't like the $11,000 price though.

Børresen X3 speakers (10,000 Euros)

Music played:

Life on Mars​

AURORA​

Highs sounded piercing.

Both Sides Now - Erlend Gunstveit​

Nice!

Cor! Look at those cable lifters!

 

[Dennis_FL]

Wow...some of those setups cost more than my house and the neighbor's house.

I wonder what the second tone arm was for with the KLAudio turntable? Maybe a comparison?

 

[Robbo99999]

Triangle Art Suite.

You have to admire the woodworking of the speaker:

And the craftsmanship of the turntable:

Selection of demo LPs:

Just when you thought Dianna Krall had disappeared from audio shows!

Fancy tri-amp speakers:

Should we blame them for not using cable lifters???

Scheherazade, Op. 35: III. The Young Prince and the Young Princess​

Bland. Pronounced hum/buzz in the right channel!

I like some hoodoo with my voodoo! (Ok, I'm gonna stop commenting on what I'm seeing in the pics otherwise people will get sick of me!)

 

[Robbo99999]

The Audio Company:

VAC tube amplifiers:

Von Schweikert Audio Ultra 7 Speakers:

Rear drivers:

Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street​

Very nice center image. Like many setups though, speakers were too far part.

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (LP)​

Not this track but this is what Shazam returned:

Scratching LP with very distorted highs. Had to walk out.....

More cable lifting, heaven in terms of cable lifting this time! (Ok sorry, last post in this thread for a while!)
