B&O BeoLab 50: Backrow Politics by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band. https://shz.am/t47427241


Sounded boomy again!

They had us sitting against the back wall with maximum sound pressure. Not a good idea regardless of what correction they have applied.

B&O BeoLab 50: Blackbird by The King's Singers. https://shz.am/t54196417


Should have said that with the previous tracks I was sitting off-center. From here on, I was sitting in the center seat.

This one sounded very nice.

B&O: BeoLab 50: Diggin' On James Brown by Tower Of Power. https://shz.am/t5898798


Ironic that this track is called "Tower of Power" as my notes say: "a lot of power!" I think they said it has three 700 watt amplifiers in each speaker.

I swear some engineers should be kept far, far away from industrial design. I mean what is this look on the new Pacific DAC from Lampizator?

index.php


It was full of dust and smudges already. When did this brass look come into audio???

Reminds of middle eastern "Samavar" that is used for making tea:

Let's not even think about it tarnishing and needing to be polished. If I am going to polish something it ain't going to be a bloody DAC!

Somewhere, some place an Apple designer is having a heart attack after seeing pictures of this DAC!

Can you say Amir is grumpy? I knew you could!

Lampizator DAC: As Time Goes By by Bryan Ferry. https://shz.am/t250393

This sounded quite lispy. Hear some of that through my computer speakers just now. If so, it might be in the content but why play it???

Actually I attended a talk by Rob Watts which I need to post once my blood pressure comes down after hearing some things there....
