According to those videos by Wendell D, he's talking about incorporating dipole woofer systems with panels, and ML stats used as an example. Dipole to dipole... says that no one had really adopted it as yet with DSP and it works very well. In that case, what the heck! ML, Genesis, Avant Garde...

Yes true. There are quite a number of Maggie owners who've gone to the extreme in enhancing their performance. This includes, internals of crossovers being changed to very high grade caps & other parts plus speaker terminals. They've redesigned the total bracing structure to such an affect, it...

Maggie's are good up to a certain point. Beyond that, in terms of real vfm, they don't really improve no matter what you drive them with. They all have a characteristic ribbon - quasi-ribbon & tweeter ribbon signature... such that sometimes if not properly setup, each damn ribbon tends to walk...

Nice one RobD, glad to hear the BF sub is behaving... compared to the other one. Speaking of which, any idea what was wrong with it in the first place? Would be good to know since these things are always a learning curve. Have fun with the subs, you're going to be delighted! Cheers mate, RJ

Thanks for the update ttocs. I'm heading off to Spore in July and have already set up appointments to audition: Genesis Tributes with VAC Statements Diptyque with Jadis amps CLX's with Dartzeel monoblocks (new versions). *forgot to mention, Alsyvox Botichelli-X with CJ's ART108A's* And hopefully...

That's the most ironic and interesting thing I've heard since my entire audio journey... Wendell Diller of Magnepan doing a demo with ML stats...!!!??? Oh boy! What a paradigm shift this is. Never heard of in my day, let alone these two entirely different speaker brands coming together, wow...

Hey mate, that's a great write up into the show. Wish we had more of those higher end ones down unda, hardly any useful ones now. Apart from the usual one we have in Melb, I did an initial write up in Nov 2017 and nearly got shot! I was bit critical but I was just stating the truth... only to...

Nice one on the Bryston amp. That's a rock solid design in terms of power supplies and real current capacity. This is referred to as a "stiff power supply"- has a very high current and highly stable voltage requirement. Just from its power trannies layout and main cap reservoir bank, you can...

Uh oh spegatio... I think we're all going to be lined up at Cyberdine/ Skynet and executed by those T3's... ah well, what to do we deserve it. At least let the no good doggies line up first. For us well behaved doggies, just let us have our bone! Woof! RJ

Ooo yeah, I like that blue / cyan color, and even that silver one behind it, real nice! Even then, I wouldn't fit in any of those... let alone need help to get out of one! Not good for big dogs. I remember the last time I sat in a Honda NSX, it was a ride of a lifetime! Three silly buggers had...

Yes, I've heard those Muraudio speakers. When i first saw them, it reminded me of those good old Energy omni-directional speakers they used to make alongside the Paradigm Studio series (same factory & same company) they were not bad at all. However, the Muraudio takes things a few steps...

Yes, that's correct. Valid points from Brazilnut, the tooling required is not very accessible plus it's very Labor intensive. It requires precision skill and steady hands plus a reliable market to sustain the product. This is another reason why ML discontinued the CLX line and the mighty...

Yes, most probably... and good point. In fact those Lampi models were the earlier series and they differed by quote a margin. That's correct, after the engine 11 was introduced and further upgrades done on their line up of DACs, they really became outstanding! I did audition two upgraded models...

Another thing I've noticed with the Lampi gear is that from model to model, overall quality and performance is quite a drastic difference. Not a subtle difference unlike most other gear, specially DACs. For example, when I was comparing the DCS or MSB line of DACs, each of their models and...

Certainly looks like the Musical Fidelity amp was the clear winner. Should have kept it... Goes to show the amp to speaker matching importance. It's so critical to get that combination right, and once you've found it, just leave it! The moment you alter that synergy, everything goes out of...

Uh, that's certainly an interesting note, which I can relate to somewhat. In all the past houses we had, here in Aus and overseas, every automatic garage door we had went bonkeroos! The motors overheating, wiring corrosion, whatever... After nearly 15yrs of renting and finally building our new...

Now that's enjoying the music! Good stuff mate 👍 Cheers, RJ

The Lampizator line of gear is superb! They make some very special DACs, and well worth the money spent. At the time I was looking to upgrade from my McIntosh digital player, I narrowed down a short list of three units. One of those was a Lampi. It was superb on stats and really has that full...

The specs on the Benchmark power amplifier look quite good. Although specs do impress, sometimes when you actually audition the gear, it's a totally different story... which most of the time is quite disappointing. I've come across those amplifiers who have real value specs and when...

Pace - Rythm & timing... yes, very very very apparent on the Nordost top line, that's what it's all about! However, I can't stress enough, whiles all of this greatness is sheer greatness, the rest of the system and gear HAS to be on par, otherwise forget it! I've come across quite a number of...
