    No sorry, was being sarcastic about the Diana Krall. Not keen on DT but at least it is much more challenging programme to judge a system by.

    AN systems have many followers and I understand why, but just look at those prices.

    That's a pair of AN/Es for crying out loud. They can only go so far with that basic design and spending that amount to drive them is money wasted. Indeed a less expensive pair of Es is the way to go.

    I have more pics but they are all mobile. So some will be poor in low light especially. Will post later.
    This makes the speaker cable the most expensive piece in the room! Surely it’s a typo.

    The Alsyvox chap is going to quote me for some Alsyvox isolation feet in brushed steel. They'll cost less than Stillpoints.

    That was definitely the highest performing system there. No question in my mind. Speed, resolution, scale, dynamics, clarity. After multiple visits every other room sounded like it was underperforming.

    Re-visiting various rooms after they'd been on for a few hours paid some real dividends as they mainly seemed to improve quite noticeably.

    The Alsyvox may be a bit too much for some. Not for me. Bring it on. They seemed to do classical well too.

    That AN price list should be carved in granite or something.

    MS Word and a poly pocket just doesn't cut it for a £125K dac.

    Good point. Also check out that trolley wheel power amp stand. Guess equipment racks are not of interest.

    FM acoustics. I didn't see a price list but this stuff is insanely expensive so I am told.

    Two sets of speakers, one bigger than the other. Heard both. Both OK pyramid styleee. Looks like nice kit. One of the preamps had a scratch filter.

    They demoed this with a record with an X literally carved into it. My guess it is a simple notch filter and it is analogue but hey it worked really well targeting this specific scratch. More random scratches operating outside of the frequency range of this specific X scratch must get through, I figure.

    The system was merely good with both sets of speakers I felt considering its expense. Bigger was better. It was too smooth and tried to sound too nice I felt.

    Maybe it's the hourly rate for 3 armed guards.
