I know Lampizator Lucasz is a big Goldmund fan:And last thing - one might say that I have a prejudice against Goldmund - but I don't. I simply cant stand the bullshit of their marketing. I think that everybody and every business has a right to bul... 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Wolf, you appear too insecure to have an adult conversation with Robert and follow through on that demo offer. I am confused...Art Dudley needs to do some more careful listening....;)

08-18-15: Wolf_garcia…and my 5 decades as an audio geek has made me utterly over-qualified to opine about spiky things (sorry Robert, I don't borrow anything requiring me to disassemble my audio pile).Not. LOL. Robert called it.So, Squeezebox, Jol...

Norman, what is the price tag? The Tenor's made Matt blush. Goldmund really bends u over. I would not necessarily want their amps and/or dac. Friends who have heard their stuff on several occasions always went away feeling it was little on the Swi...

Wolf, we are still waiting on access to your recordings.....and any details on your current or past systems to better understand your experience and frame of reference. Slinging cybermud from the shadows like some teenager helps the conversation l...

08-16-15: MattnshilpI must admit that although they get a tad boomy at times in my room and they don't extend as low or impactful as I want, the Nola Metro Gold I have on loan are wonderfully musical and engaging. I had a great midnight to 2am lis...

08-15-15: Mattnshilp And Wisnon will probably send me an envelope of Anthrax if I don't try to hear the Goldmunds (just a joke if the government is reading this, or if you just have a complete lack of any sense of humor). Well, now they will be du...

08-15-15: MattnshilpI found the Vandy 7 a tad veiled on the upper registers. It was subtle and didn't really effect my overall impression. They just didn't extend with the accuracy and finesse that the Coltrane Tenor did. Interestingly, it was the...

08-14-15: AlmargNo question about it. And I would add that I wouldn't be surprised if in addition he has to go through a process of screening the resistors further, selecting some and rejecting others. While 0.01% is an exceptionally tight toleran...

08-14-15: Paul79The Totaldac Twelve is not cheap to make, no matter where he is located... 600 .01% foil resistors, at $20 a piece retail, it is easy to see where the bulk of the costs are. Add to that SOTA Parts, inputs, outputs, power supplies, ...
