I dunno, I have listened and owned over 45 player's in the past few years, and APL, Alex, has won me over, AGAIN. So much so I just PIFed for the NWO 2.5, cause I definately believe in this unit being the beat available, regardless of price. Best of luck in YOUR journey, but, mine ends with ALEX, and his NWO 2.5. |
All I know is that I have owned over 50 high end digital players, when I receive my NWO, I am DONE, SMILING, HAPPY< and content. End of journey. Thanks be to god.
Smilin out |
Time will tell, my friends, time will tell. I know of nobody more obsessed with creating the finest digital playback on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly pace, as ALEX. He puts it ALL out, and the owner gets to hear it.JMO. |
Swampwalker, I get it, I am just chillin with the music!!!
I would love to hear from Puremusic though, cause he just received his NWO, and I still gots to be patient. |
I have a real good feeling it will be a new years baby. |
Earflappin, WOW, I just saw your pre-amp up for sale, congrat's, The NWO is truely amazing, and I am still waiting impatiently for mine to arrive. I am so happy you are please with my suggestion. Alex truely is one of a kind, in his approach to digital(digivinyl)as I refer to it.
David, Have a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year....and please, call me when you have a chance

AHHH, I finally received my NWO today, FedEx driver said I owed him a tip cause of the weight. 82lbs, WOW, what a gorgeous, well made, machine. I hooked it up cold, as soon as I got home, and walla, music, wonderful, harmonically rich, extended, detailed, tight deep bass, articulate midbass, glorious midrange, and treble to die for. Amazing, being cold, right out of the case. This is before any burn in, Man oh man, I am gonna have some fun here, fine tuning my system. I have been collecting power cords for the past couple months in anticipation of receiving my NWO.

suggestions, welcome
Brent, could ya lend me a Kubala?
My initial setup with the NWO was plugged into my conditioner, Alex told me to go straight to my dedicated line, cause, I was missing the TRUE sound of the player. I was real skeptical at first, but, I decided to give it a try. Man, what a difference, I will say this, I am really smiling right now, AND, I should have my custom speakers here next week, hopefully. I need to go listen to some music, cause it's been a long time since I have enjoyed my system so much. Alex, THANKS.
More to come...as machine burns in. |
The NWO is just AMAZING in the quality of musicality, along with more definition, of detail I have ever heard from a digital player. I am smiling, happy, and even content. This has been a LONG journey, searching for the finest in musical reproduction....I have found it. |
1markr, today, could even be the day...Whasup buddy, this year going better? How is YOUR system sounding these days? |
Fplanner, Guido,AckmanOO,I will be trying many, over the next few months, and will let you know what I like best. Remember, as in most things, the quality is too MY ears, in MY system, and is only MHO. YMMV. |
I finally have a little time to enjoy some music today, using the Ridgestreet Alethias PC. I have about 100 hours on NWO now, and all is progressing very nicely. I cannot say how much change there is from burn in, but, I can say that listening to Vaya Con Dios(What's a woman)I am hearing this well recorded disc, like I am in the venue itself. I canot say if this was recorded, in studio, or hall, but, it sure sounds like a hall. I am hearing the CD
with startling dynamic swings. Music is just natural, textured, and holistic, with the most amazing soundstage properties I have EVER had in my system. I love it when I have the hair on my neck stand up, and shivers down my spine. I am just loving the amount information that is REALLY on these little silver/gold disc's. I knew my speakers were fast, but, I have NEVER heard them sound this great.
I have also been amazed at listening lesser quality disc's from the 80's with my personnal choice of classic rock, just sound so much better than I have heard in years. I used to have to go to a buddy's home, to listen to Aerosmith(toys in the attic)Deep Purple(machine head)Black Sabbath(paranoid)The Who(who's next), Allman Brothers(eat a peach), David Bowie(ziggy stardust), Bad Company(bad company), Jethro Tull(aqualung), Eric Clapton(561 ocean blvd), Pink Floyd(the wall), Brecker Brother(brecker), Jimmy Hendrix(electric ladyland)et et et sound like I remember it in college. I have NEVER been able to get this type of sound from digital before, it needed to be analog, and top notch analog at that. Thank god, my wait and patience seems to be paying off handsomely.
WOW, I am smilin today. |
