My earlier choice of the Kharma speaker is just too extravagant.
And some pics in the thread are reminding me of how beautiful some turntables can be.

I'll choose something more realistic/possible & would dearly love.
LAMM LL2 tube preamp.

Not really, here's a quote from a review :

Quote:

as photo shows, the cabinet is entirely empty. The complete absence of any damping material marks a radical break with the accepted approach to acoustic cabinet design over the last 50 years or so... The side and back panels are of spruce, crossed and glued under pressure, and are just 2.5 millimetres thick. But where Ocellia really excels is in its complete mastery of the internal bracing, which provides perfect rigidity for the cabinets, in which no two internal surfaces are parallel to each other.

In an interview, the builder explained that his aim was to create a cabinet with harmless vibrations rather than no vibrations. In his view, traditionnal adding of damping and mass cannot suppress totaly vibrations. He prefers to work with thin walls, stocking less energy due to their low mass and making easier to dissipate those vibrations in a less damaging way.

The speakers are using PHY-HP full range H30lb15, with silver and silk voice coil. Lead free bronze frame. Each driver cost 905€, taxes not included. The speakers use solid silver cabling. Considering this, the time involved in the construction of those speakers and the rather confidential distribution, price is more than fair.

Mmmmm. That LAMM LL2 is nice. It reminds me of Audio Reseach stuff. I love that "laboratory" look. Clean and mean.

Absolutely. Pure no-nonsense Gorgeousness. And the pricier L2 is sweet also.

Well, this is what I dream of getting... German Physiks' Gaudi.

They're the most expensive speakers in the world, at least as far as I know. The MSRP is 250000 USD a pair.

I see hinges on them, is it a refigerator as well? Dual use!

Hey Fred, I thought you weren't a fan of the 270/27? Have you finally come around?

orheus. Do these consoles have embedded recorder or do you connect one seperately? And is it any kind of recorder or must it be from the same series?

no, it's purely a console. you know what this picure is of right?--it's the Yamaha DM2000. it's like the cheapest model you can find in big studios besides maybe the mackie stuff. and it costs $20,000! doesn't have recording abilities itself. this model can control an external DAW however and also has machine control and MIDI and all that. so, 3 different ways to control a separate recording machine. don't need a Yamaha recorder. any high-end recorder with these features will do. even can control Pro Tools.

Orpheus, I have the same kind of question as mario_mar. Can you recommend a good 8-track, all-in-one digital mixer/recording unit?

you know... there's so many out there. and i haven't used any of them. i know Roland was out with the first.... i'm sure whatever they got is pretty good. but as you know, all the big companies make them now: Roland, Tascam, Yamaha, etc...... go to Guitar Center and demo some. it'll be fun.

I dont really know how it sounds, but it sure is pretty....

[Zanth]

I want this very badly.
I want it hooked up to this. Then run through this to a one of these babies and finally the music flows through these monsters!



That is my dream setup. I need nothing more

 

[Orpheus]

but zanth, even if you get all the above (which by the way is SWEET).... you'd still upgrade within 1 year. we all do.

 

[Zanth]

You are likely right...I'd look into new designs in dc phono amps as they come along and I may look into horn speakers...but as for preamp/amp and TT are concerned...I'm fairly confident I'd put my money in the music store clerk's hand instead.

Ok So it would be these

sme 30/2

but at £15000 its at the bottom of my list (as I do own the 20/2
