Exactly.
To advertise and say they are made in Scotland when you KNOW they are not, is completely dishonest. Now, if they were lying to the distributor too, then that’s another story, but I doubt it.
Pretty easy to tell where they are...
The 1160 is a great amp. The 2160 is truly a league above and more in line with the Block. The Constellation lineup is also great. The 1160 is a little more laid back then the 2160 and a lot more laid back then say Block or Soulution.
I won’t...
I just watched the video. Very interesting. But the video comments from former VP’s at Tannoy and new distributor are very revealing.
I guess KD is no longer the distributor if I’m reading this correct? No love lost for me with him I’ll...
That used one is VERY old, only one power supply (not two as standard) and the old standard clock (not the much better femto 33, which even the ref has!). A ref with femto 33 will outperform this used one AND you get to take advantage of the trade...
“I've grown to use it almost exclusively because with the Statement NG, music sounds more vital than it does through Roon.”
When I first told people roon was not the best sounding, they thought I was crazy. How could software affect the sound?

Competing with integrated amps….not their goal for 861/812. More small space, lifestyle system. Built in DAC/Streamer/Headphone amp and all.

It’s amazing to me that people think wire is wire. The other day we set up the NEAT speakers in the back room. With the Nordost speaker cables, it was not a good match. That ribbon tweeter did not respond well. Switched to the Sigma speaker...
I didn’t hear anything in particular. Glad you guys love the styling. It’s a carry over from the Master 300 which I designed.
The Master 300’s are my favorite tube amps (if I’m allowed to say that without too much fussing!)

We had the Argiano, but 2017 vintage, the week before the list came out, and it was fine. I hope this 2018 is far superior. Tonight, it's Mencia, Descendientes de Jose Palacios Corullon 2020 - really good!
If you want a little better performance, you can shield those TAP modules in the Alpha (and higher) interconnects with the 3M AB5100 self-adhesive material I am using everywhere, or with carbon fiber cylinders as in the Omega (but you have to buy...
Yes, a chassis screw is where you would attach them; I bought brass screws, copper are also available but not necessary since these STIS terminals are brass themselves
and FWIW, I've gone Alpha v2 all around - ground, power NR, signal - with a couple of Sigma XC on the Everest and amps for the reasons stated above. It's all the speed, power and purity that I need
When I hooked up my preamp and sources to the Everest's ground lugs with Alpha cables I did hear a small but significant improvement, so I can attest to your suggestion
Reminds me of the fuses we tried. One even costing $1500. The folks who were blindfolded could not tell any difference with any of the fuses.
I guess if you find a fuse that messes with the sound, that could change things. But is it better?
