I too was strucked by the soundstage and depth. But I like the capacity for nuance even more, that they sound great at very low...

We have a nice summer programme at the Paris showroom of Wagner (video) and Celibidache (audio).

I have a dealer who has them and I must admit I spent an inordinate amount of time there, listening to music. Here in France Ayre electronics are being pushed with Magicos because they have the same...

We didn't get a proper listening room for ICOS as we hoped, so I'll be there with Antipodes only, not really exhibiting, and hopefully quite available during the whole show. Any get together planned?...

I had a meeting to go to, but this version of this mass made it too hard to leave. It was hypnotic.

I found that the Artisan Silver Cable double purity is hard to beat (http://www.artisansilvercables.co.uk/#!ultimate-silver-stream-double-purity-usb/lfw2i ) . This is what I recommend to clients...

I was shocked at how better Roon sounded than anything else I tried (on Antipodes server). The only downside I see (besides the subscription of course) so far is the fact that it obliges one to use...

Besides artwork, I heard it finds tags for untagged music? Does it canonize tags (e.g. David Bowie, Bowie, David and Bowie end up tagged in te same category)? Does it reorganize folders or just tags?...

Thanks, Bill, I stand corrected and will try an AirPort Express soon.

I don't know about this particular cable, but this phenomenon is common with my digital gear, server and cables alike: sounds good the first day, worse for a couple of days, before it goes to great,...

Well, the old Apple TV is even less expensive (79$) and does the same -- that is my advice to clients asking for a budget solution, and even my backup when the fancy servers are out: one old Apple TV...

Thank you. It is better than AirPlay. And the machine is getting better by the hour. Now I'm wondering what are appropriate speakers to pair it with.

I have one right now and I must say it does indeed have a nice subtlety and emotional content, while staying clean, for the price. It reminds me of the NAD systems of my youth -- just engaging,...

It does, in my experience. The best I tried, and now use systematically for shows, is this: artisansilvercables.com/ussusb-double.htm

Great value too.

Thank you. I stand corrected about the existence of true DSD over USB -- but then am I mistaken in assuming that this is not using the USB norm, the same way you can carry DSD over and HDMI...

There is no satisfying way to do DSD over SPDIF or AES. Even DSD over USB is not pure DSD, but is transformed into DoP, processed like a PCM signal and then "put back" into DSD.

There is no...

Speaking of Mozart's 40th, and even more of the 41st, I have found this recording pretty irresistible:

So, we just booked our Munich 2016 room, along with our buddies from Kelinac, who will present a beefed up version of their spectacular 914Mg floorstanding speakers: ...

Beethoven's symphonies are a fascinating universe that one probably never stops exploring. I find the balance often hard to strike between the different qualities of this music. These days it is the...

I talk about my own products here, but then again this is why I chose them.

I am content with my combo Antipodes DX music + ICOS Dactablette. We'll bring them to Munich this year.

Monday, nov, 30th, 8.30, we start with this:

and then Beethoven's eighth, not sure which yet, thinking very possibly Gielen,...

I'm glad to learn a bit more about Mike's products and what sets them apart. I am a big fan of Avanti speaker cables, definitely the best I've tried in their price range and, like he says, I think...

I'm fine. Le Bataclan is a couple hundred meters away from the showroom in the same street but everyone is fine -- and I'm safe in Denmark, (like I was on January 11th).

Hi All,

Next Friday we'll start the weekend with an extensive listening of Janowski's Rheingold (Nov 20th, 9pm):
