Somehow this channel makes me glad I have spent too much money on headphones dacs and amps. The recording gear used, the movement through the space, the music selection, the environment,, the atmosphere - and we aren't there to experience all of it. Congrats to your ninja sensei for teaching you to move silently. We can't thank you enough.

That’s probably something like my lottery win set up !! I’d love to sit down with this set up for a few days and play a pile of music. Beautiful

KEF LS50 with a subwoofer is the some of the best sounding stuff I’ve heard in a while, and I used to spend $40-80,000 on Hi-Fi equipment. Glad I don’t do that shit anymore, so much snake oil. I became an Audio Enthusiast.

Yes it’s very easy to get carried away if you have the funds I imagine , and I dream about it. I’ve heard the LS 50’s quite a lot as a relative has some, although not with a sub, so that might be worth him trying. I’m using a pair of Bowers and Wilkins PM 1 pro monitors, an old three box Exposure Pre Amp, Pro monitored power supply, and the dual regulated power amp, the latter three having been great for 30 years. I’m taking an optical digital feed out of an Apple airport Express box, and putting that into an equally antique Marantz CD 12a Dac , which seem to have become quite sought after . I’m using the cd 12 transport far less for cd’s than I used to. I keep thinking about upgrading, but when I turn up the system as it is, it still makes the hairs stand up, so I’m reluctant 👍

Great match with Audio Research. Added a touch of musicality but still projecting a noticeable sense of rhythm and pace to listeners. Consistent with AR's reputation as “fast sounding” tube amps

I have used this as a test tune on numerous systems. It offers an exciting speaker listening test. This song title and soundtracks imply that one walking on the beach is followed home by the love of his/her life. The shore feed is on a left and right track of its own. The musical intro is started, so it is a fade out-fade in overlap, which can sound icky if the installation can not render it right. Plus, you have the trick of feeding instruments from the left to the right channel to create the feeling that there is movement as one enters the party space, where the music is dominant until the end of the song. This means there is a second channel feed that is done to improve the acuity of the listener. This particular matching is highly transparent, and the timbre of both tracks sounds both detailed and very true to how the shore and the Dire Straits instruments sound. In the world of classical music, there is one recording I would suggest for testing these speakers: The Barcarole in F sharp major Op. 60 played by Garrick Ohlsson. The piano is extremely difficult to reproduce, and the selection I have in mind has various entries of different melodies, counter melodies, and melodies where the melody is actually a duet of two voices of the right hand simultaneously, which can smear on bad rigs. His recording of this is about as flawless from a recording point of view as I have ever heard. Not just anyone can play this piece either. The opening of the piece in the first 8 measures tells you if the pianist is a genius. he is.

I wish I had a device like this ㅜㅜ It's cool

Класс!

so cool :-)

had a sabrina y audition last week and wow they where conected to a dan de angostino amp,audio research pre amp esoteric player,music was also dire straith but sayling to philadelfia and some eagles.

Acustica Applicata is the name of the manufacturer and the product is called DAAD and the bottom models are model 4. They are actually both difusors and absorbers. There for you can optimize acoustic performance much better than most base traps or diffusors. Sonically they are high end acoustic treatment, may be the best. You can easily get lots of 3D soundstage with DAADs. Read reviews online, Acoustica Applicata DAAD are as essential as costly electronics. Highly recomended.

A little downer here… Wilson is expensive stuff and if you have listend to both the Sabrina X and the Sasha DAW the Sabrina just does not sound right in comparison. Makes you want to buy the Sasha for sure.

Good sound but to me, not as good enough as Focal Sopra 3 & DAgostino in your other video. Focal + DAgostino is like a perfect match.

Honestly the magic of the proac is the heart of your system. Have you hear the Audio Research models of the golden era ? The signature was totaly different. Hear the Sp6, the Sp8 or the D79c ! It's romantic, dense, fruity, euphonic, totaly different. I think the fan of the actual audio research brand have totally forgotten the true sound of Arc. It's the same thing with the actual Mcintosh and Mark Levinson sound, it's not my type. They lost their sound. Hear a ML2 or a ML 20.6, hear a Mc2505, a Mc500 or a Mc225 ! Actually Plinius, Vitus and Lamm poursuit the sound i love in different ways... But i am very circonspect about Audio Research and Levinson. Mcintosh do a better job recently but too expensive. The vintage model are a better choice and have a better sound !
