Ken I’m always amazed by your turntables especially that Thorens TD 124 it’s beautiful. Those Devore Fidelity Speakers are a dream of mine I love the build with your setup it’s stunning and can’t forget the Shindo gear man Ken awesome gear so timeless. Lovellandrew

Cool gear Ken! Dream job to be able to review and have equipment rotating in the la casa like that👍🏻Love those UK Spendors.

Listening to people like these explain sound I am reminded of people talking about wine!

it's great that you mentioned the potentially infinite types of guitar tone based on type and brand. many "audiophiles" do not have the experience on different tones of guitars, drums, or other instruments, because they do not play these instruments. it is really an advantage knowing how instruments should sound.

Wonderful system, Ken. I love Devore speakers, and can only hope to one day own a pair. I share your ownership of a Tavish phono pre as well, which is running my DL103r cart. Very warm and musical presentation. Thanks very much for the beautiful system tour, Ken. Loved it!

i heard the O/96's a few years ago at CDF in montreal, a great hi-fi shop that sells Shindo and Leben amps. The system i heard was a Brinkmann Bardo (which a good friend bought) with the Leben and a bunch of A23 cables and step up. I had a few of my own favorite LP's with me, the system blew my mind. The Devores with a low power tube amp at not a crazy price like the Leben was a great match.

Awesome setup. I think I will be lusting after the Devore’s for another decade at least.

Hi Ken, just stumbled on your channel, great video, I also have a Thorens 124 Mark ll with a SME 3009 series ll fixed headshell complimented with a Luxmam 115C MC cartridge, loved the tour of your gear!

I laughed when you said those drums were unbeatable.

The warped platter on the Thorens would drive me absolutely crazy.

Hi Ken - cool post. First time stumbling onto your channel. Thanks for sharing. Traditionally I went from my Rega 2 to my old home entertainment Okyno receiver. Decided to buy some better equipment and was not sure about the best way to setup the wiring. Hoping you can steer me in the right direction. I have Focal Bookshelf speakers, Schiit Vidar speaker amp, Schiit Saga preamp and a musical fidelity m2si. I was not sure what should get wired to what; speaker wires, Rega 2 connection, etc. l appreciate any guidance you may share -

Until I heard this I would’ve said exactly what you’re saying. And it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. The only failing I can report is that the overall soundstage is smaller then when using the same turntable purely through my tubed amplification.

Hi Ken! Quick question: have you ever heard mactone gear and what's your opinion about them?

Klipsch model 4's (Forte, heresy, etc): Polymid drivers, vastly improved crossover. They are head and shoulders better than any previous Klipsch. They don't shout, get harsh and they resolve. They told me that a tube pre-amp with a solid state amp would be my favorite combo. Previous models couldn't do that, they were too PA like. These sound like real instruments, especially drums. Two things I recommend people do for Klipsch: Make sure they have proper space to breathe in a treated room, and get a tube pre amp at least. I got rid of my high end JM labs because I enjoy the three- way Klipsch much better than any two way I've owned or listened to.

Do you use the phono of your Shindo Allegro, or do you only use the Tavish Design phono?

Where can I get that T-shirt ??

Are DeVore speakers made more specifically for tube amps? I currently own a McIntosh MA5300 integrated amp, would the DeVores match up well to this amp, any thought would be helpful.

The British Drum Co is producing some phenomenal drums as well, though pricey. And nearly every respectable recording studio I know keeps a classic Gretsch kit as their main house kit...for the floor tom and bass drum sound if nothing else...and for good reason. Either that or a classic Ludwig kit. Unfortunately, this video seemed like more of an ad/sales pitch rather than a "system tour".
