Hi All, Next Friday we'll start the weekend with an extensive listening of Janowski's Rheingold (Nov 20th, 9pm): I will be around most of the weekend for visitors to the Haute-Fidélité show and others, with cocktails on Saturday and Sunday night (7-10pm). The address is: 18, bd Voltaire...

Not sure why editing always create a new post in my browser, but here's the machine:

That's tonight: We'll listen to the whole thing and also compare a little with Furtwängler, Klemperer, Kegel, Sanderling, Toscanini and Celibidache

The new showroom isn't as fancy as the first one overlooking the Luxemburg garden ; but it has much better acoustics, sits 25 comfortably, and has no neighbour. As usual, everybody welcome, including if you'd like to set up an event of your own.

ARTISAN SILVER CABLES - Ultimate Silver Stream "Double-Purity" pure silver USB cable I have a new showroom that is more revealing than the one I used to have, and have accordingly become more picky with my accessories because the difference they make is more audible. This sent me on yet another...

I'm opening a new showroom in central Paris (two really, but I'll talk about the smaller one when it's fully equipped) near the Luxembourg garden. The launch is March 18, and of course every shark is welcome if they are in Paris at that date, or later. PM me for an invitation. If anyone needs...

It's been a while in the making, but the new generation ICOS 6 are finally there. They are no-crossover speakers, designed to be used with ICOS active amplifilters (or any active amplification with similar cut-off frequencies at 130Hz and 10 kHz, or traditional amplifiers with an external...

I'll be travelling around with a full ICOS active system in January and February (the one that usually stays in the Paris showroom), would stop for a demo to members in that area.

I just got our new electronics for the Paris big showroom -- new Power Supply and new amplifilter, plus a new DAC. I previously had an older version in this showroom -- it wasn't as fast and subtle. Now waiting for the new medium satellites (with Davis speakers to replace the late and beloved...

Hi everyone, I'm planning a road trip up the East Coast, Sarasota to Boston, in December 2014, to demo some ICOS gear to any interested member, dealer or end user. This thread is for collecting feedback, gauging interest and responding questions. Please feel free to PM or email me if you are...

Antipodes Audio indeed is known for its cables -- everybody who tried them (and took the time to since they are said to take 7 weeks to burn in) raves about them. I haven't tried them yet, am waiting for my first interconnect. But in this thread I focus on the music servers they're doing, ie...

So, in my quest for the perfect digital source for the system we'll launch in the spring, I got an Antipodes DX music server sent from New Zealand. It took a while, mostly because of French customs and delivery. And then it took a while for it to give its best (if it is there yet), not only...

@cmalak: thanks. It helps, as it confirms what I've been observing so far and what my information gathering strategy has been, eg in joining this forum ;) @cgabriel, thanks. We have a website (ICOS Bienvenue and also ICOS Vertrieb Deutschland - High End Systeme - Verstärker und CD-Player für...

So I'm looking to raise money to develop our operations. I find it hard to gather any information about the economics of "audiophile" gear (from Rega to dCS, basically): 1/ Macro: market estimates in various countries, type of targets, observable trends... 2/ Micro: success stories of...

Thanks for the feedback, you're very obviously right. As for the inside of our machines, you know that they're ridiculously simple, don't you? But the point is taken, and there will be more, and better pictures. Here's the entry level CD-player: Here the top stereo amplifier (I know, real...
