    • Accuphase DG-38
    Accuphase Voicing Equalizers DG-38. This somewhat unusual term was chosen to symbolize the advanced capabilities of the DG-38. While this product is a full-fledged high-precision graphic equalizer in its own right, it also incorporates a sophisticated system for automatic sound field compensation. It divides the audible frequency range into distinct bands (voices),and lets the user choose a target response curve that is then expressed (voiced)by the unit through a process of precise measurement and adjustment steps. The result is full control over frequency response characteristics at the listening position. Through creative use of the capabilities offered by the DG-38, the scope of sound reproduction in the home environment can be significantly enhanced. Get ready to experience a new dimension of music enjoyment.

I enjoy looking at your photos.  At times I feel like I am viewing a dealer showroom.

Suggestion--  Consider adding some photos with you and/or guests in the shot enjoying the system and listening to music.

@ecd0317 @cuongpham   What a fantastic system and room!

Hi Cuong,
How would you compare the boulder 2050 or latest with the Grphon Mephisto solos?
Thanks a heap!

Hi CuongPham,

I really like your system it is amazing.
I have followed you many years.
Now i will be at the 2019 Thailand Triode Fest at Chiang May.
Ans i will be very happy if you agree to visit you.
I will be showing the Great Plains Audio speakers at Thailand.
I will be in Vietnam on the 21 and will stay for 5 days.

Best regards and Congratulations for your system.

I always enjoy seeing photos of your system and the changes that you make.  How many hours per week would you say that you listen to your system?  On average.

musicpod

Hi Cung, i hate to say this but Most of the funds came from money embazelment or you somehow are related to some form of government.   I feel sad that most part of Vietnam people are dying of hunger and people like yourself can manage to evy that kind of money to own something like this.   You should be shameful to take money from your people to fund your hobby.   How can you manage to sleep at night knowing that most of the money belong to your people.  Shame on you!

zipost

are you really listening to all these equipments or just showing off your money

conagie

Impressive!  How do you compare the Gryphon Mephisto Solo with the Boulder 2050? 

Thank you in advance.

Wow!!! Audiophile Envy has definitely set in :-) ! What a beautiful room and outstanding system! In what part of the world does this amazing system live?

zephyr24069

Wow, very impressive. I see you are a vinyl lover. It must sound wonderful. Great job!

Hi Cuong!
I admire and respect what you've done... Outstanding. It must have taken years of serious listening and tastes to evolve.
Tell me, what is your experience comparing your Studer to your vinyl?
Good 15ips master dubs almost always outperform vinyl but I find vinyl has a richness and texture (in my system on certain pressings) that tape lacks.
I'd love to know your take, as I believe your system is more resolving and well balanced than mine, and I trust your ears.

Hello anh Cuong,

Your system is top. It is typical from Viet spirit to get the best! I wish one od these day, I can listen to such a system.

Wow, in a good way

How can something called "Grand Exquisite" not be the destination? :^)

mapman

Wonderful setup but you need to buy more stuff!!

ebm

So is the Grand Exquisite your destination speaker? Can you describe what it does in comparison to your previous speakers?

agear

All I can say is "WOW!" you seem to have hit the audiophile lottery in terms of gear to listen to and try in various combinations; the room itself is also awe-inspiring. Many of us are no doubt jealous :-) !!! What changes have you made as of late?

zephyr24069

Incredible system!! How do you compare the Gryphon Pandora preamp with the Boulder 2010 preamp?

Thank you.

vn101606

One would have oodles of fun in that room with the various systems ;-)

c1ferrari

Incredible system! Congratulations and enjoy!

arthursmuck

What an incredible system you have. I am curious about the many SPU cartridges you own. How does the Meister Silver compare to the others?

latinsamba1

...and one with a pair of omnis.... :)

4 rooms with horns in one, planars in another, omnis in another, and soemthing more conventional in the 4th would be my ideal. I have the rooms but only omnis + more conventional monitor type speakers currently. Have had planars in the past, but not the right room. Horns someday maybe if I ever get the right room.

mapman

You're almost there. Now you just need a room with some planar speakers. :-) Happy Listening!

knghifi

Halcro,
Let me take that back. It is a different room.

maril555

Halcro,
I thing it's the same room, and the horn is covered by a wall panel?
