Congratulations Mike. Which of the clocks did you order?
I might be mistaken but that rack has all the looks of an Artesania Audio rack.

If he is going this far, I would assume he went all out with the Femto 33, but you can give me one of these babies with any of their clocks as it is a wonderful piece.
Congratulations Mike indeed!

I guess a lot has already been written about the Select II. Yes, it’s expensive, but what you get doesn’t resemble digital. It also isn’t “like vinyl” either. It’s like a completely new source. It’s so natural, like live.
After three hours, the only comparison I could make was what I heard when I toured recording studios and heard the band playing live in the studio. That’s what I hear.
If we could create a new source category, call it “live” or “natural”, this would be it. Frankly, to call it Digital is not doing it justice.
I know people will think “it’s expensive and how much better than X,Y,Z could it really be?” Well, I’m here to tell you, I own X, Y, Z and A, B and C too, and the Select II is on another planet. Another level entirely. As I said, it needs its own category of source.

Ha! I’m thinking of bringing it home to listen to over the holidays. Kronos, Select II, a rebuilt Studer 810. Three pretty darn good sources if I do say so myself.

It’s here!!! MSB Select II with dual mono power bases. The MQA USB input module is installed for now and when the Roon ready MQA Ethernet module is ready, I’ll switch to that.
I have the XLR in and out preamp module, and added the RCA output for use with SE amps. Right now, I’m running direct to the Gryphon Colosseum.
For now, using the Lumin U1 (I’ll try the Aurender once they get MQA).
I just got it up and running. I will comment on sonics later.

Congrats Mike, veeery nice.
I’m all excited about the Brinkmann Nyquist right now, but this might be a notch up.
Very much looking forward to a video for a soundbite.
Way to go Mike!

Could someone beam me up to Florida, please?
To listen to something like this, even over YouTube, is a treat.
Thanks Mike, you continue to excel - unbelievable.
