Matt Parker's Apogee Acoustics System 2024Thanks all. Definitely don’t trash your Apogees in storage. We need to keep these gems in use so they don’t die off. I would love to get my hands on a pair of Full Ranges, Divas or Scintillas one o... posted 5 months ago | View comment | |
Matt Parker's Apogee Acoustics System 2024Thanks all. It does sound great. I've always loved the wave of energy that flows over you effortlessly when full range ribbons are dialed-in just right. Since I have the speakers so far apart witho... posted 5 months ago | View comment | |
lectronjh50's SystemVery nice system, but I’ve got to say you're got to get rid of those Chinese knockoff interconnects and speaker cables. They’re not worthy to be in your system and counterfeiters shouldn’t be suppo... posted over 1 year ago | View comment | |

Matt Parker’s SystemI appreciate the compliment. Who knows. I’m sure there are plenty of nice systems, but as we know they each will sound different and it often can come down to personal preferences. I’m very h... posted over 1 year ago | View comment | |

Matt Parker’s SystemAppreciate the compliment. It’s an African piece my dad gave me (I forget which tribe). He’s been a collector of African art for many decades. posted over 3 years ago | View comment | |
rhdrico's SystemExcuse skypunk. His parents just gave him internet access for the first time and he clearly lacks any class or etiquette. posted over 3 years ago | View comment | |
DCS and Audio NoteSkypunk. Enough with the snarky comments. This is two in a row I’ve viewed you dogging on people’s setups. Low class. posted over 3 years ago | View comment | |

With blessing from the audio godsLovely system. I just fired up my brand new MHDT Orchid yesterday with an upgrade Tung-Sol 2C51 tube. It was a bit bright the first day, but I think it was the brand new Silnote Audio digital coax ... posted over 3 years ago | View comment | |
Matt Parker’s SystemI’ll add, Terry, who wrote the 6Moons review of the Orchid gave me his phone number to further discuss future tube options for when I feel like playing around with its sound. I’ll let you know what... posted over 3 years ago | View comment | |
Matt Parker’s SystemWow is all I can. The Orchid was a bit bright, as expected, out of the box yesterday. I was also using a brand new Silnote Audio digital coax cable. It still sounded noticeably better than the Node... posted over 3 years ago | View comment | |
Matt Parker’s SystemAgreed. I’m expecting a solid month of playing before I expect it will be mostly, if not completely, broken in. I bought it new. I don’t think the used tract is viable with the Orchid. They seem to... posted over 3 years ago | View comment | |
