”Neodio Origine S2 cd player” This CD player/dac sounds so beautiful. Congrats on your purchase of this player. I have heard it and it certainly is very, very special. Wow! Anyone on this thread, regardless of format opinion, would be floored with the breath taking sound of this unit playing redbook CDs. |
Nice second system digital front end! @facten I would love to hear your system someday. Your Daedalus Argos V2s are also most interesting. The Neodio sounded wonderful streaming, but CDs played through this unit were extraordinary. |
I don’t think an audio club exists, but I may be wrong? I have not heard of one. Two other high end audio shops in Nashville now. Hifi Buys is one. They sell the well known brands such as Focal and McIntosh. Atelier Audio 13 is small, but Constantine has some interesting lines. He is by appointment only and operates out of his home with a room of gear. I have not been in his home /room. Colin of Gestalt Audio Design is rather special based on my experience with dealers over the years. Here are the reasons I think this way: - He possesses great listening skills and has actually helped me improve my listening skills. He has raised the level of music enjoyment and emotional connection to it for me and my wife in our home Hifi system. - He imports and represents manufactures that share his love for purity of tone and sonic realism in the pieces they build. All the gear he sells sounds so magnificent. Yes, some of it is just out of my budget, but many other pieces are more approachable financially. - He is honest, passionate about music playback, most likable and a calm mannered gentleman. He is just so easy to work with. I have now purchased my Circle Labs integrated, Tron dac plus Hijiri and Tchernov cables from him. I hope to soon be buying speakers from Colin.
