Decided To Go The Gobels Route

Trust me, the wallet is WIDE OPEN, unfortunately. The good news is that IF I decide to go the renderer route with the Select II rather than the USB route, I don't need the Gobels USB cable. I guess that is one way of rationalizing it.

Oh, undoubtedly we are experts in convincing ourselves of the logic of spending the amounts we spend. We have no cure! :D
 
I, for example, have sold my analog and I have convinced myself that the most logical thing is to order a Göbel XLR cable. Really for more than I think it is very, very logical. :yahoo1:
 
Congrats on the new speakers. I've heard them 3 or 4 times and always liked them.

Thanks. You guys in Europe pretty much always had the best the states had to offer and it is nice that we are starting to get the best you guys have had that we didn’t. Never heard the version before this new Aeon but these are wonderful.

Of course very logical.

I tell my wife those BIG speakers are leaving for smaller ones so we must be saving money. My wife has learned just not to ask which makes both of us happy
 
Regardless of which way you go they are absolutely beautiful speakers! I'm sure you will be a very happy man.
 
Everything on the Gobels website looks incredible. They seem very serious about building top end gear. The speakers are works of art.

I got a quote on an Ethernet cable, and have to say, it looks like Gobels stuff is well out of my range.

Will be cool to hear your impressions. I haven't seen much posted about this brand anywhere yet.

Well last night got the system setup, we were initially comparing my USB to Renderer on the MSB and while the renderer was more spacious and open it was little shrill. The USB was using the Gobel's USB compared to the Audioquest Vodka.

I then put in the Gobel's Ethernet cable and just couldn't believe the transition. Absoutely stunning, easily surpassing in every aspect of detail, imaging, spaciousness, etc the Vodka and the USB solution. How much more the cable will improve with time I don't know but I was immediately blown away. Needlessly to say, the Renderer with the Gobel ethernet is my new go to. I do have one more tweak which is my Core Technologies LPS which I will hook to my switch.

When I told Vince from MSB, as he is interested in MSB customers experience with the renderer he sent me the following review. So I will post it here for your perusal. I haven't read it in detail yet as I literally just got it:

Interesting actually. I've had a similar experience with the PS Audio DirectStream... the Bridge II (renderer/Ethernet) is not comparing favorably with USB. Maybe it's ultimately a cable thing, I haven't tried a high quality cable on that connection.

I almost hate looking at this thread because when I do, I end up looking at their website, and then at those speakers. I'm possibly in love with a piece of audio gear.... (and I want to know what lake that is!)

Lol

I hear you. I will find out what lake that is and let you know. It is nice. I have my little piece of paradise with a home right on Flathead Lake in Montana that is stunning. Now I just need to afford that house in the Gobel site to go with the speakers.
