Shades of my last 2 channel speakers, Carvers "Amazing" (MK IV's if I remember correctly)

Yes those 5' ribbons came from the Amazings, the baffles are giant Corian custom countertops, they weigh a ton.

I'll post more about that system, and hope to listen to it soon. It's all analog and tubes with a spendy vintage ARC amp on the ribbons.
It's biamped and the ribbons play down to 150hz!

More details to come, I'm loaning him my Yggy for a audition in his main system, I've heard his DAC, he will be buy one.:sweat_smile:

Um.

At a quick glance that’s 11 cubbies of equipment versus 5 of music.

Not my preferred ratio.
.

This place is bigger than you think.
There is an entire rack full, both sides, all records on the other side of what you see.:wink:


It's in an old school, and a place of business, just not open to the public.

Somewhat related to Mike's "Gadget" and rkw's post: Someone re-did/auto-tuned Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

That is Awful! Kurt has to be rolling in his grave, I hope whoever did that modification was trying to point out the horrors of Autotune.

Edit: Now I hear Marlon Brando/Col Kurtz saying "The horror, the horror"

Thanks, Pietro. I just posted it there as well. Will send them all there from now on.
Don't let me force you to do that but the effect will indeed be much greater and better appreciated as you will reach more and younger people. Not only the old geezers here.

Marcus King Band - Carolina Confessions. On Spotify.

Good stuff, thanks.

I like some music recommendations here, they seem better in general than the fire hose the recommendation thread is.

Excellent gift @CAPT Deadpool. Sending great hi fi equipment to a friend, is a wonderful gesture. You are opening a whole new world to him. Well done.
That is a great idea. Now the Modi 2 is old tech, yet still better than any onboard Laptop soundstage. I think re-gifting your Old Schiit is the best use for it. Spread your Schiit far and wide!! Brilliant idea for the holiday season. We all have old interconnects, and wall worts lying around (speaking for myself, as a hoarder) I might just have to get a b-stock headphone amp and gift a complete headphone rig for one of my friends,

For what it's worth, I like seeing music posted here. I haven't ever checked the other thread, nor will I. It's all I can do to keep up with this thread (and Mike's as well).
