Tidal Speakers owners
Bvdiman, I suspect you are right. Are they still about $30k? If so, the Piano DiaCeras are more expensive at $37,690 but certainly have a better top end.

Kw13, I assume you mean the Klipsch Scalas. I had their corner horns in the late '60s, but my room left a hole in the center. I thought about the La Scalas, but they didn't have the bass. I loved the Klipsch speed and efficiency. I could use SETs ...

Lewm, thanks. This was consistent with what I overheard at breakfast the next day.

I should make it clear that I am not diminishing the Ypsilon electronics in saying that the Tidals with their electronics were one of the best sounding rooms. I bought my speakers largely on the basis of what they sounded like with the excellent Y... 
2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet
Pcosta, I'm happy that there will be a less expensive and hopefully more robust Thales arm. I have a Bergman Sindre tt and love it. I introduced the designer to StillPoints Ultima SS isolation feet and will soon be trying them on mine.I was struck... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Bacardi, I must admit that I failed to ask that question. I heard only a comparison on the pcs running the two PowerCell 4s. I also heard no costs for the new pcs.

Pcosta, I was told that the Thales was damaged from the beginning and that he had sought to make it sound as good as possible but decided it was far short of what was normal.

Fcrowder, I would have said that until Sunday as I would have said about Tidal at the last CES and RMAF. At this RMAF in MHO it was among the top three.

How I wish I had not forgotten to attend this comparison. Please someone tell us your impressions. 
2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet
Pcosta, I sought out the Thales, but it was broken and no longer in use. I have heard it before and was very excited by it but not by its price. The good news I heard, however, is that there will be a much more modestly priced arm out soon, althou... 
Tidal have you heard them? Are they your favs?
On Sunday, as I said on the Tidal thread, the Pianos were very good. However, they did not reach the level of the Contriva Diacera SEs, at least not in my room. Also, I was not very impressed until Sunday.I also told Jorn that I thought any of his... 
LSA 1 Monitors in a small room??
At the RMAF, LSA had their 1 Statement speakers with their Standard integrated amp run by the Exemplar/Oppo BDP-83 blu-ray player. It was extraordinary but the room was about twice the size of my small NM listening room. It was a $10k system.

Knghifi, I noticed some improvement the first two days and little after that.

Well I got my first chance to hear the Tidals with Tidal electronics at the RMAF. On Sunday, the sound was extraordinarily good on the Piano Diaceras. These thrilling realism of the diamond tweeter was there and the bottom end was quite good. By S... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I spent some rewarding time in the SR suite and heard the demonstration of the new PowerCell 4 for $1250. It was not compared with anything else but was demonstrated with and without charging. With was substantially superior. Then there was a demo...
