    I agree. I like the minimalistic design. There's nothing there that does not need to be, but it still looks very appealing and stylish.

    Exactly... Most of the high-end T/Ts you see now need a room of their own to be housed in! It's completely unnecessary. I like T/Ts you can comfortably sit on top of your average equipment rack (or wall shelf).

    Enjoying the relative cool of the evening with the portable rig on the balcony!
    Roon unfolding+upsampling MQA from Tidal, via the iPad via the USB (camera connection kit) into the Hugo and outputting damned fine music through the Focal Utopias!
    Sipping a wee dram of Balvenie Double Wood doesn’t make things worse! []

    I was quite easily convinced to give her a new home as i really liked what it did in his rig!

    AMG Viella (or V12) with the 12J2 12” tone arm and a HRS base.
    While i really liked most things the Orbe SE did, this is a completely different animal.

    I am a very happy bugger!
    I have the Giro and its stunning, the bigger one does the same, but a bit more.

    Sometimes it’s better to just listen to birds and enjoy the silence!
