Mine shows what song is playing from which album. It doesn’t show how many tracks are left but that’s not something I care about and it’s to see if you page down.- nfandi

That’s a great list but I think you’ll find The Beatles preceded all of them by quite a few years and without The Beatles the world of modern music would have been very different. Except of course for the lots of Classical music bit which preceded The Beatles by a couple of years.- nfandi

I’ll ask him when/if I meet him. Should I wear a flak jacket? I happen to think Revolver sounds great. And I agree with Aperture about the Steven Wilson remasters of Jethro Tull.- nfandi

Kai do you think that’s true of the remasters done by Steven Wilson or those of the Beatles done by Giles Martin?- nfandi

I don’t recall there being a general consensus that Aperio is “leagues above” other TOTL offerings, and if it was a comment made under show conditions then the usual caveats apply. Aperio is a complete system and though it might well be excellent it is still limited within its own capability...- nfandi

Doug, one thing to consider now you’ve cancelled Armageddon, is at some point to get a clean impactful SS amp of lower price and then use the pre-amp function of the Envy to add a little ‘flavour’. I tried this when I borrowed the Envy for a couple of weeks as a pre-amp into my Raal HSA-1b and I...- nfandi

Ah ok, that’s the HiFi deluxe get together at the Marriot hotel. Alex said they’d have a quiet room there with a frankly obscene list of amplifiers. Immanis is good enough to allow the different characteristics of each amp to shine. You should get some good feedback from this.- nfandi

How can there be any impressions? Nobody owns one because it isn’t on-sale yet. Look at Solaja’s web-site, the VM-1a is still available for sale but the new amps aren’t listed yet.- nfandi

RAAL 1995 Immanis
Not really; Immanis doesn’t need protecting from anything or anyone. It is what it is and people can like it or dislike it; makes no difference to me. I just got caught up in reading about HE-1 needs an external DAC or Stealth out of Chord Hugo TT2 etc and I over-reacted. Blood pressure levels...- nfandi

Seems like I’m repeatedly undergoing episodes of Deja vu. You’re not going to be happy until you’ve heard both of them at home on your system. Alex has stated that Magna has more punchy upper bass but Immanis goes deeper and is better textured. Therefore the description ‘way better bass’ to me...- nfandi

Also production only began mid-April and will continue throughout May and June. Even if there are some already in the wild it will be very few and even fewer who have also kept their Envy PE for comparison.- nfandi

Alex told us some time ago that most of the first production units would be for the shows in various places around the world culminating in Munich, which is happening right now, and also for the dealers to use as demo units. After Munich we will start to see a ramp up of customer deliveries as...- nfandi

RAAL 1995 Immanis
I’m sorry for your raw skin (seriously?) and I’m glad you enjoy your Dan Clark phones. I don’t know what marketing you’re talking about. A thinner sound to your CA-1a means your expensive amplifier isn’t capable of providing enough current. Immanis is more gentle and less hungry, though nobody...- nfandi

Couple of corrections. Most CA-1a + VM-1a users don’t use the filters. The filters are used mostly by SS users, they are less useful when using tubes. And your statement that CA-1a’s don’t compete on any level is also not accurate to me or plenty of other users who agree that they compete on...- nfandi

The consensus you refer to was about 5 years ago when the SR-1a was first launched with the TI-1a interface and that indeed needed speaker amps of 100W or more. You appear not to have read much about Alex’s objectives for Magna and Immanis. With the new 32Ohm interface both phones can be driven...- nfandi

I don’t understand the point you’re making. The discussion is about using a DAP to drive the Immanis; what has the Ferrum Oor got to do with a DAP?- nfandi
