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...

I'm with Darrel's comment above, the A5 and Gryphon should be a terrific combination. IIRC you were using Pass Labs in the past. How would you describe the difference between the Gryphon and the Pass...

From DownBeat magazine;

David Sanborn, Star Alto Saxophonist, Dies at 78

That is what I am anticipating in my room. I appreciate you sharing your first hand experience in Munich.

Beautiful room and system. Mike, in the photo, the software displayed on the laptop, is from Avantgarde? If not, what is it? Thanks

Saddened by the news of David Sanborn's passing. Saw him perform many times in the 80's & 90's while living in New York. A fine musician and a happy humble person.

Is the upgrade available to US customers? If yes, I will have to contact Suncoast for details and get in the queue. Mike to the rescue?

I can only echo your sentiments. I feel the same way about my K-01XD.

And after hearing the SE version of the Esoteric Master Sound Discrete DAC at AXPONA 2024 I’m seriously considering the moving...

Wow, good for you. I have seen significant discounts even in domestic air freight rates on the FedEx app (not in store though). Just have to shop around it appears.

Finally got to hear an Esoteric "SE" version of the Master Sound Discrete DAC in the Amphion Room 1230 at AXPONA 2024.

One of my favorite rooms at the show used an Esoteric N-01XD SE network DAC...

Unfortunately I was not able to hear the Auditoriums at AXPONA 2024. Based on what I did hear, the Piccolo, the Auditorium must be stupendous.

The amps are the WestminsterLab Rei monoblocks (I've...

That has not happened with the Aurender N20 I use. I believe there is a method for filing a remote support request in the "Help" section of the settings menu in the Conductor app. I have used that in...

When I learned at AXPONA 2024 that the N20 was made Roon ready, I was kind of excited but now I'm not so certain. While I enjoy Aurender's Conductor enormously and it has improved as my system has...

Recently saw him perform in Denver. Catch him live if you can; as you already know terrific music and band.

Sunday afternoon I had just walked into the big Clarisys/Convergent Audio Technologies room (Nirvana C?), there were two guys on their hands and knees switching cables on some amps. When the music...

I know everyone at Suncoast is very busy but I've been getting this alot lately;

It seems to be intermittent which certainly doesn't make it any easier to diagnose.

I hope you get more chairs in that room!

That might be the most adorable speaker I have ever seen.:congrats:

Looking forward to seeing and hearing it in person. Travel safe Mike.

So much so I've been told that there will be no S7 update/replacement (at least for now). The S5 2024 appears to be the top of the S series range for Magico. The next jump will be to the M series.

Test; Successful image upload for me. No invalid file message.

Thanks

Absolutely agree.

@Henry303 Have you had the opportunity to hear any of the Goebel speakers in person?

I get that completely; ~4 feet tall and 262 lbs is a lot of speaker. As a Magico A5 user, I have no doubt the performance jump from the S5 mk2 to the S5 2024 will be equal to or beyond that of the S3...
