    To avoid being boring I'm not repeating the firs 2 lines of my last post

    DSCF2822[1].jpg

    One of the monobloc's is finished and has been running for a few months quite pleased whit it no sacred smoke so far and the soft start had quite a few cycles so is not going to break any time soon

    I have a stasis PA7 on the bench and restoring it priority number uno

    Any way from time to time one got to chill out so Carnegie Hall SHOW !!!

    As I posted one another thread those did best sound in show IMO but then my cartridge is only second best

    Curvi-BMR MK2


    DSCF2824[1].jpg

    What I heard at the show despite the room and too much too loud tunes (one listen to PMC like stuff just in passing and it still FXXXk your ears up

    Not those


    DSCF2826[1].jpg


    Staging wise the Magies are pretty good
    Those are also as good if not better in many respects
    Staging Yes but also each instrument is nailed down in place and this let you know how many oboes are playing on the Bolero (DECA SXL6065)
    first correct answer get prize

    And then consider Just 1 driver 1 inductor and 1 cap and 1 enclosure (If that does not give WIFE and hard on or whatever work for them ... I don't know)

    Any way I had them here for a few hours whit Chris (big tanks for letting me listen to them at home)

    My mate Rob was also here PS The Cubardi is so much better after one let it breath a few hours
    His comment : Best I heard your system so far

    They are back home now in Manchester and I
    I am back home and the Magies sound DULL

    Goggle them up and if you get a chance Listen to those

    Best in show IMO
    yes ok you all have at least 30 K or more and can buy same fancy things whit loads of chips and stuff

    One have to have a chat whit the bank manager...

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Those are just prototypes whit a couple of issues (I may have same to spare )
