This is the end of the line my audio friends. I have been all over the world and heard everything that can move air and this is the epitome of real true audio from the room which is studded every foot, solid cement floor perfectly tuned and dialed in to PURE SILVER everything everywhere. No copper in this room. The Terrific speakers which were the Klipsch K-Horn which is now the Martinelli Mid Horn / BMS4592ND 2" / Beyma CP385ND with Beyma TD250 Tweeter/ Crites totally STOCK crossover points Klipsch refreshed crossovers and a totally stock bass bin. Not to mention the audio equipment ...not chosen for how much it costs (which seems to be the THING in the audio community) but rather how it mates to one another . And ohhhhhhhhh does it mate to one another!!!!! Anyone out there in the audio kingdom will never ever at any price touch this system for musical accuracy. This is it my audio friends!!!!!! OH NOT TO FORGET THE CRYOGENICS that have been incorporated into the treatment of this amazing system...No stone left unturned!!!
I had the Resolution Audio Opus 21 with GNSC Reference mods and the RAL umbilical. It was a great CD player. Desireous to be able to play SACD and DVD-Audio, I demo-ed John Tucker's Exemplar Audio modded Oppo BDP-83, which he calls the "Expo". It wiped the floor with the Opus 21 on CD and had the advantage of being a universal player. I sold the modded Opus with umbilical for just a tad less than the new Expo cost - $2,500. Without hesitation I can say that if you do the same, your listening satisfaction will be greatly rewarded. Technology really HAS improved!
Hi. are you missing any bass or is the room loaded up enough? Lots of lower frequencies to come with the new high resolution formats. I noticed photos on the wall. Low frequencies would rattle these. Try getting a third quad as middle channel similar to a Mastering room and work on what vibrates. Dynamic response should improve drastically. Peter
Would you please confide in us members as to how life is treating you in general; are you eating well, are you getting enough sleep, do you feel depressed at all, any suicidal thoughts? I am quite serious and just want you to know that I empathize with you under these circumstances of distinguishing and defining the real, what could be real, and the surreal. Wishing you pleasurable listening and a pleasant summer.
Congratulations on what sounds like nirvana! I think I sense where you're coming from: The sound, the beautiful sound, which can bring an adrenaline, euphoric rush like no other. This feeling can be so overwhelming that it can be difficult not to explode professing about technology's capacity to evoke truth! By the way, did you ever look into that Quick Silver Phono Stage that some discriminating listeners feel is one of the few pieces of equipment out there that merits any serious consideration in high-end audio? Cheers to your nirvana!!!
