Has anyone heard the BACCH-SP "purifier" 3D audiophile imager?
My system is up to date in my profile. You'll see it's rather modest by high end standards here, though not mid-fi level either. ~$5k investment in the Bacch4Mac is not out of line for it at all. The SP ADIO, though much more costly, easily co-exi... 
Has anyone heard the BACCH-SP "purifier" 3D audiophile imager?
I have the Bacch4Mac and continue to enjoy it immensely. It is the real deal, worth every bit of the investment to me. I rarely play anything where i feel it is affecting the presentation negatively. If so, just bypass it with one click, easy. Wh... 
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
@drbond Florida Audio Expo is a nice show, which was growing until Covid slammed everything shut. I'll be attending for a couple days, coming up from Sanibel. Dealers tend to show there also, so they tend to bring what they have on hand in terms o... 
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
@drbond  This has been a fascinating thread following your journey, so thanks for putting it out there and enduring. Your quest is similar in some ways to my own, also in Florida with the many of the same local challenges you mention. I currently... 
Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times
I've had a new Wavelight for a few days, though I'm also waiting for new speakers to arrive, so can't speak to sonics much yet. Just a couple functional points to add. While it can be used as a preamp with its analog volume control, there is no ph...

What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers
Take a look at the Digital Amp Company Maraschino (Cherry) amps. Several Spatial owners are using these and are very happy with them.  He regularly has very good demo pricing if you call or email him, well within your budget. There is a detailed Y... 
In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music
So saddened to hear this. I had nothing but fantastic experience with my VSM-MXe's, thanks to the loving care with which he designed and built them, and the ever present ongoing support. We had many conversations on the phone, as well as in person... 
Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please...
I bought a Starrett 98-8 precision machinist's level for use with the Salvation and T3Pro. It seemed like ridiculous overkill at first, but once I used it, I found it worth every penny (~$130 on Amazon) in setting up the unsuspended Salvation for ... 
Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable
Sorry, mine has been down since I did the mag bearing upgrade, due to a move over the past few months. I'm building a new listening room, but hope to have a temporary one set up in a week or two. Hopefully I can get a good dose of the upgraded Sal... 
Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable
Glad you're liking it. I can't wait to get my system back up and running so I can hear the impact on mine too. It's hard to imagine it getting even better, but Vic was quite confident it would and I've learned to believe him. 
Linear tracking tonearms.....
Spiritofmusic,Unfortunately I only had a very brief listen as I'm in the process of moving, so all my gear is packed up for a while. I definitely liked what I heard, maintaining the strengths of the Salvation (great bass, dynamic impact, black bac... 
Linear tracking tonearms.....
I'll be the fifth on the Trans-Fi T3Pro and agree whole heartedly with Steve. I've had my Trans-Fi Salvation and T3Pro for quite some time and both are the real deal. The T3Pro is surprisingly simple and easy to work with, not finicky at all. The ... 
Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions?
This pair had all 4 woofer connections brought out to the back panel which was a great idea for trying other bass amps. Did you add any of the Clarity internal wire or upgraded caps?Tom 
Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions?
I just checked the pics I took that day and I'm pretty sure yours are the ones Bill demo'd for me. They were quite stunning looking and sounded fantastic, especially with the tuning demo he did on the spot. Enjoy!
