Also experienced that....some people need to adjust and tweak their attitude a bit....

Thanks 👍

Stewart (Xumbug) had some special sounding standmounts there. It is one of those speakers that I can sit and listen too the whole day. Being 92db efficient they are easy to drive with fast and tight bass. The tweeter was sweet and subtle with plenty detail. Really something to appreciate.

Another guy I spent a lot time with was Lance Dixon. Such a passionate and humble person. His turntable was just "WOW", the craftsmanship is astounding and then there's the sound. Oh man, I enjoyed it so much, especially some Scandinavian jazz he put on for us. The small little Sonor Audio Claro...

Then there's Ben from Acoustic Arts. What a nice person to talk too. I probably went there 10 times over the weekend.... As expected, he had Clear Audio and some maggies there. Sounded great in such a small, and if I may say, congested little hotel room. His equipment was beautifully displayed...

Yeah, luckily on Sunday morning I could listen to Chantelle Chamberland and some strings and jazz. Sounded amazing on lower volume levels. Then later on again...boom, here comes Inferno ...

Air music definitely had the most cozy room. A nice warm, inviting feeling with beautiful music at lower volumes. The plants was a nice touch too. Stefan's Vivace speakers sounds amazing on the Shindo and Jadis tube amps. He put a lot of work into these speakers and it shows. I also enjoyed the...

Was a great show, been there 3 days spending a lot of time in the rooms. One I was looking forward too was the new Sonus faber Stradivari, which was definitely a big hit. They are beautifully made and sounds exceptional at lower volumes with strings, jazzy type music and female vocal. But....I...

I will gladly pay that as I will be there for 3 days making the most of it. I don't get to attend something like this regularly. Mosselbay is a bit remote from all the big cities. There might even be 2 or 3 more people who might be interested in a 3 day pass. Thanks, I will send info.

They should've given a special ticket price for a weekend pass as well, so one has access for all 3 days.

What is a used Yamaha RX-A3020 worth nowadays? This specific one had been damaged by a power surge that caused the unit to take long to play sound, but has completely been repaired, all the HDMI's also still work. Asking for a friend who might want to sell as he got a new unit. Thanks

Forgot to mention the Xavian Orfeo's, the build quality is impeccable and they sound so sweet.

The Shindo and Vivace sounded incredible! Those Rosso Fiorentino Volterra's also looks amazing and sounded sublime. It was great to be part of the event  :dop:

Gents I know that a TT must be close to the phonostage, whether external or internal. But what about the distance their after from an external phonostage to amp? If the TT and phonostage are next to each other, is there a minimum recommended distance between the external phonostage and...

Damn these look beautiful 😍

That is one beautiful amp Stan, congrats  :dop:

Pleasure Werner, was a nice evening. Thanks for the kind words, we'll certainly do it again  :dop:

Thanks for the feedback Ryan.

Yeah sorry, I suppose I should've mentioned that they need to be matched. Thanks

If you use an integrated amp as a pre amp you can connect a sub or your power amp to the pre-outs. Your speakers will then be connected and powered from the power amp. But you can also bi-amp if the speakers have 4 binding posts. Then you connect the "HF" side to the integrated amp and the "LF"...
