Heh true. What fascinates me is how the insiders think that just because they have been doing the same thing incorrectly for years it is somehow justified (though this statement can be applied to many industries)

The WBF thread I linked to, after an ad hominem start, has started providing interesting insights into the mindsets of reviewers and hifi shows

Here is another Neolith review http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?14722-Martin-Logan-Neolith/page7&p=319897#post319897

The article summarizes what a lot of people on forums think of themselves. There is an interest thread going on on WBF http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?17776-Negative-show-report-posts-enough-is-enough that made me think of this article. This thread later took another turn, where...

I was just joking - there aren't any such men like I mentioned

Or maybe a guy who shows his wife who is the boss of the house

You can drive panels with them. I have heard it's smaller brother, 120w, on the Analysis Audio Omega. One guy used three of an even smaller NAT audio to drive his Apogee Grands

Those are the Acapella Horns with the NAT Audio amps - the NAT Magma - not sure if it is the Magma SE. And the Triangle Art TT. The pre is the NAT MAgnetostat. I had the, erm, eye candy at my place http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?16323-NAT-Audio&p=171696&viewfull=1#post171696

Brass and violins and depth on violins is really. They also have a different bass. There was a 15k Euro German TT called Dr Schick that was slaughtering the Scarlatti all the time in the Western Electric room at Munich. There is a guy called Marty in NJ who has a highly rated room among...

There was a lot of vinyl at Munich as well, and sounding much better than digital. Lots of techdas

Myles Astor of Positive feedback replied to my thread on another forum - "If you think the Decca reissue sounds good, you should hear the original SXL release or the TP 15 ips R2R release. I think though The RCA Heifitz release has the Bruch beat on performance and is as good sonically." To...

No, will get it

Very small, and it goes on till 8pm, so you can reach there by 6 and be done. Not really worth it. It's free though, and 10 mins by shuttle

Most Munich rooms are pretty poor. The Anima room was also the one with zero treatment.

Not as good, but the Animas are the only speakers who sound real to me like the WEs. Brass sounds like Brass. Other hifi speakers try to sound real by disappearing. The Animas and the WE sound real because of the timbre and the texture and the impact. But at Munich the Animas didn't sound...

Best violin I heard - At Munich, on the Western Electric, I heard this LP. Melted my heart. http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?16443-My-Munich-Notes-with-Western-Electric-Lowdown-and-music&p=172737&viewfull=1#post172737

The 15k EUR Schick TT was killing the Scarlatti everytime in this room. The Silbaton amps were monos, each WE valve costs over 10k

Last year, they had brought the top of the line WE http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?14760-Western-Electric-s-first-hifi-speaker&p=267218&viewfull=1#post267218, this year they brought in the bottom of the line WEs. Still outdid all other hifi IMO. Listening to these speakers changes...

1. Most rooms were disappointing 2. Western Electric was fabulous, but more on that in the next post 3. Vivid Giya G2 sounded very good, great bass, seamless crossovers, soundstaging, dynamics. Did Mahler 2 explosion open large scale without any problems. Backed by expensive CH Precision boxes...
