I was sorry to read this, "- Nagra + Stenheim: Disappointing sound quality, despite the opportunity to purchase HD Vinyl and discs at a discount.". This was one of my favorite combos a couple years ago at Axpona. Not surprised VTL sounded good...

That is pretty darn funny!

It did take the better part of 5 hours. But when we left, it was sounding fabulous and frankly, given the constraints of his giant motorized theater screen, positioned about as good as they could be. Now, knowing Charles, he’s probably gone...

Did you read the article in the attached link? If you did you'd know the answer to that question.

The Lumin U2 supports LC/LC optical fiber connectivity with an upstream music server/NAS/network router, which in my experience, is superior-sounding (no low-and high-source leakage impedance current & threshold noise components) to "copper...

I, too have many records. I also use Qobuz. Friends and I have a common playlist where we post songs we like, any genre, new or old. All of us search and use Qobuz and some use Tidal, but we all find new to us music, via radio, various playlists,...

Holy Moly! That must've been quite a challenge to get them all synergizing with one another, not to mention the Trio's!

U2 and U2 mini have the new processing engine which is a big step up. Which Kenneth Lau power supply model do you have?

Cant find any measured data on CH amplfiers so hard to comment on design...! FMA is still the leader with swiss designed amps IMO ..

Did they specify days heard , some setups can go from really bad to very good by the last day Sunday , i have experienced this so many times it’s not funny , so when commenting and or comparing comments , best to be specific on what day..

This is the third time I've listened to the CH room in Munich—twice with the XVX and once with Rockport. I also have a friend with CH Series 10 electronics and PMC speakers. Every time, I've left disappointed. I really wanted to ask the CH guys if...

Here are some impressions from the audio fairs in Munich last week: Our small group typically combines our Munich visit with mountain trips in the Garmisch Partenkirchen and Innsbruck area. However, due to inclement weather this year, we started...

Glad they are making a positive difference.

Post #3 connection: I guess this (high pass filtering) is the general logical way of doing bass management especially in AV receivers. Post #1 connection: I prefer this as I happen to subscribe to REL philosophy of no high pass filter: What is a...

I asked Chat this question……..LOL! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lol---and I just discovered I posted back to back on this thread, earlier today not realizing I had posted about 3 months ago. Well, another several or 5 dozen records listened to once, and probably 200 new to me albums streamed in that space! ...

Too much music? No such thing Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Thank you, Mike!

Agreed, given the quality of CH amplification and preamps, this looks like more of a cable synergy and possibly other things upstream, plus setup and room treatments. There are any number of great interconnect and speaker cable choices plus proper...

Truer words were never spoken. One would think that critical acclaim (as a function of exceptional performance) would translate into success in the marketplace.

I keep buying records; up to 1962. However, I generally play them ONCE,,, why? I am too busy discovering new to me interesting music across all genres on Roon.

Congratulations Sean! Enjoy the music and system in good health!

A couple of his more well-known pop solos on other artist records..."How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" by James Taylor, and "Young Americans" by David Bowie. He had polio as a child and was urged to learn a woodwind instrument to help with his...

Alan, it probably won’t tell you much as it was particular for his setup with 8 subs (!!), four towering bass horns, 2 x 231’s and 2 x additional subs at the rear for his room and HIS type of music (classical). For one thing, we had to start with...

You do have to often wonder how people listen…especially at shows. That one guy who liked the Aries Cerat also liked the Linn. I’ve heard from numerous people these were the two worst sounding rooms (with the third being the new Vivid’s). Shows...

Mike, can you share the final overall speaker/room frequency response measurement (if there is one)? If not, perhaps I can "twist the arm" of the lucky owner to let our club members measure it (with XTZ Room Analyzer and/or REW) and compare...

And yet I received an email newsletter this morning from HiFi+ where Aries Cerat, Wilson and CH Precision were among the rooms cited as best by the HiFi+ reviewers in attendance. Munich High-End 2024: The Top, Top Fives! - hi-fi+ Horses for...

Peter, I appreciate this. All I have on this sub is low level input. So just to be sure - I would be good running RCA out from the T2 to the sub low level input and XLR out from the T2 to the amps, right? Not to complicate matters, but I just...

Yes. Seems like the Wilson/CH room didn’t fair well either. Frankly, that’s a pairing I just don’t see. I mean, on paper it should make a lot of sense: speaker with a lot of lower mid bass energy and a slightly lean in the bass set of...

And on the page prior a couple more big names got slammed too... Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

To quote Pierre de Coubertin: "The important thing in the Olympic Games (Munich show) is not to win, but to take part" :D Still, I have nothing but respect for Aries Cerat and their beyond massive effort showcasing that system..not an easy task by...

Believe me, the scale of improvement is worth it ;-)

Generally, the easiest way to use a subwoofer with Lumin is to use the high level input of subwoofer. (I use the high level input of REL subwoofer.) If the subwoofer does not have a high level input, then the proposed connection in post #1 also...

Thank you! Yes, the midrange is quite special already. I am sorry to hear about the excessive bass in your system. As you can see, my room is on the larger size and benefits from the bigger bass presence.

That is correct - I really enjoyed my time with the Pass Labs electronics. A great company with gear that sounded and looked great (to me). To put it simply, though, the Gryphon house-sound is just more for my tastes. The Pass and Gryphon both have...

Thanks, Buddy! It's all smiles over here.

The Gryphon - Magico pairing really is something. I think they complement themselves quite nicely. Though each system produced a different "sound", it reminds me how well Naim and Dynaudio play together. The mid driver definitely steals the show,...

I'm loving them already!

Congratulations Sean!

It does. A lot of customers still do it, though. Lot of U2 Mini owners also use the LHY LPS mod kit, also.

Sean, Congratulations. I agree the A5s are more of everything compared to A3s. In my system there is too much bass but I appreciate the improved midrange.
