I got the Xindak LP-1 a few days ago. WOW! My dealer was nice enough to let me borrow a Graham Slee Era Gold V with the PSU for a month. I thought the GS was amazing. Then I got the Xindak, I has the clarity and nice extended highs and slamming bass of the GS but the mids sound soooo much better...

I first heard the word used on a episode of "The Simpsons" years ago.

I tried the P5s today. Was very very disappointed. Was expecting to have at least heard a hint of the "B&W" sound and I heard none. I think I'm subjectively qualified to know the difference as I am completely surrounded by B&W speakers (I have a thing for the sound signature) and I have demoed...

With an online handle like mine I have to at least know about them I like Amber and Tri. I got to play some tracks quite a while ago while DJ'ing at a club here. Spinning Laibach atm tho...

Kinda disappointed with the latest Alice In chains CD (oops I meant AIC). Not as bad as some but my system is kinda revealing and the clips make my system sound cheap (makes the tweeters distort)

I listen from stuff like Louis Armstrong and Tommy Dorsey, Industrial Music (NIN, Skinny Puppy etc), Psy-Trance , EBM, Gabber, Rock, Death Metal/Metal etc ect... I usually have a crazy music list going on in my head.

Oh well, My dealer ordered two anyways. One for him and one for me in case I wanted it after hearing it. When it comes in I'm going to bring my Phono stage in and compare them.

Righ now I'm letting the needle do the cleaning. However I swear the store I buy my used vinyl from cleans the records before selling them. All the ones I buy are shiny and have barely any tics and pops. I do want to get a double sided Nitty Gritty machine in the future.

I got to hear a amazing $100,000 system today. I expected to be blown away but left thinking "not bad". I may just have a preference to what I'm building in my system. Even had a simple turntable setup today from someone working there and liked my system as well.

Has anyone every seen or heard one of these? My HIFI dealer recommended one of these in my budget (ATM) for my Rega P5. Now, I was initially interested in the Graham Slee era Reflex, but I hear its very detailed. I already have a detailed Benchmark DAC1 music server and kinda want that warm easy...

Audio-Technica ATH-M30 Closed Headphones! I got try these while playing Infected Mushroom (trance music) It had the bass shaking my ears. If he needs more then that just tell him to strap a a subwoofer to his head :P They are also about 200$ less then his budget
