| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Nvp, i'm not familiar with the other product mentioned, but my understanding of your explanation of Stillpoints technology is correct. Wonderful products...I should know, I have 18 so far (incuding 14 Ultra 5's) and growing! | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Bifwynne, no I don't agree that the GMA speakers look like Praying Mantis bugs, minus the antennae and eyes, I think the GMA speakers look like Praying Mantis bugs, minus the antennae and eyes which have been run over by a Mack Super-liner! | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Bombaywalla, I tell you what. If you're as wise and smart as you claim to be, then we will see you designing and manufacturing leading high end loudspeakers in the near furture which out-perform Wilson, Rockport, Magico, Tidal etc right? And prepa... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD In that price range, based on your desire for a musical sounding dac I would vote for the Vitus RD-100. Vitus pushed this Reference series dac such that it sounds better than even the previous SCD-010 cdp in the Signature Series! It uses modular d... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Shakey, fragile eh? Label me as you wish. If I'm so wrong, why are Charles1dad's posts being moderated? The fact is one of us is in the and one of us is in the wrong. And the forum admins have come to a judgment of that. Oh, and I intend on postin... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Bombaywalla. You invested much time in pressing your point labeling the S5's as time IN-coherent as you put it. Somehow I find your comments overly-forensic and rigid (which is I suspect how you like your music to sound). Let's ignore all the rave... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? @Acman, am I missing something? You're saying it's ok for Charles1dad to post lies about his and others participation in that thread, then advise other members who participated in that thread (including the member who reported the offending post) ... | |

However on the one hand Magico are telling me the S5's are time coherent, and on the other you are telling me they are not. One might ask who do you believe? May I pose this question to you, Is a spea... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Charles1dad, belly aching and soliciting other members for sympathy with your laughable version of events is not going to change the fact you fragrantly breached Audiogon's TOS. And the fact the Admins acted so promptly proves this. For the benefi... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Bombaywalla, thanks for your comments. I think however you're jumping conclusions based on one comment Magico made in isolation. Fyi, I had earlier received this response from Magico - "The S5 are both time and phase coherent." Maybe not perfectly... |
