Hmm, after a refreshing "8 hours nap" I humbly confess,I may have been a bit blunt there. Not really my intention more an obsvervation of the constant noise pollution too many take for granted ,though not I. Sorry GoldenSound if I offended you.But Reputator did you read my last sentence...

I have to admit that watching this made me even more interested in auditioning their V2. V1 made me interested enough to almost buy it.But the discomfort and some issues with its SQ "saved me" . But PLEASE ,PLEASE GoldenSound, why on earth are you adding this EXTREMELY ANNOYING BACKGROUND...

Well the price difference will not be nearly in the same category as adding ferrited BNCs to HMS was. My guess is we're talking a HUGE increase in price going from HMS to Quartet. But will there also be an easily audible, increase in SQ of a similar magnitude as the expected horrific extra...

Hmm, so did I, ie. I bought an Mscaler to go with my Qutest also as soon as it was launched and although even with the supplied bnc cables there was an easily audible improvement in SQ over Qutest on its own, I also went through the VERY expensive but even more audible improvement of adding...

Gracias Luis, my very rusty Spanish was not too bad ,then.But the orginal German title die Seejungfrau actually translates as the Mermaid just to confuse things a bit. Pero my proof reading spotted a slight error on your part in this post. Are you absolutely sure that Richard Strauss died...

Nice "Off the Beaten Track" Music. But correct me if I'm wrong. ?Pero, La Sirenita?= the Little Mermaid.?Verdad? I stayed at the headquarters of Corcovado national park in Costa Rica called La Sirena a few times. Richly scored not exactly "Standard Repertoire",score, like Strauss' Also...

Nice organic headphone stand. I use an empty square bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin as headhone stand and a nice but a bit rough piece of firewood that was just to nice looking to burn. Finished the Gin years ago. But my headphones sit nice and steady on it. Wines of the Week ,White Lindeman...

I would add that like ALL the other Chord dacs that can be used with an Mscaler it is imo, essential to do so if one wants to hear its full potential with Unamplified Acoustic Instruments. And yes that also includes Dave imo. I am of course very interested to hear what the new Quartet Scaler...

Nice to read comments from a person quoting a genre that actually matters in the true sense of the term HIFI, very rare these days. I have yet to audition either of the two but could it be that one is closer to how real acoustic instruments sound live ? Cheers CC

Thanks,John, since discovering contemporary composers like Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Clara Ianotta and Andrea Tarrodi among others, I listen more to Contemporary Music and Asian World Music than to Popular Western Classic Music. "Fragments of Sky" reminds me of Toru Takemitzu's "How Slow the Wind"...

"Dios mio" that first flute player,que linda.

Line up for spanking,but I'm first in line.

Yes indeed, A very short walk down "Memory Lane" for me. I used to take my clients to Makansutra for lunch or dinner. "Good foodjoint " ,pun intended. Also a good spot to watch the Sound and Lights Show from with a "Chilled Tiger in hand". Back on topic of Canjam, there r some new...

Hmm after all these imho weird posts imo completely irrelevant to Canjam and Audio , advertising "mcdonalds" unhealthy American Fastfood popping up here ,excuse me for also being a bit OT.But for all audiophiles visiting Canjam Singapore there is a late chance to calibrate their ears and...

I have never bought any cds of music from the first two genres you apparently like and also use in your reviews ? To me there is little connection between most Rock Music and HIFI sound quality. Electric guitars and HIFI do not "mix well" imo. Not sure what you mean by alternative?But...

Hmm. Shabaka very nice and moody and well recorded too. Nu Deco not quite "my cup of tea" . I do not like the sound of electric guitar in any context, sorry just me . Cheers CC

Hmm, very well played by the BRSO,but "methinks" Simon reads in a "wee bit" more into that Storm and last movement F-Major than Beethoven himself actually intended? Beethoven wrote something like :Mehr Ausdruck der Empfindung alsTonmalerei ie. more an impression or feeling of Nature than...

The Passacaglia ,no not tried it yet. But I am slowly learning the piano version of the Sarabande via YT tutorials. Regarding a roof over my head and indoor heating, today we're back at -4C again where I live and some fresh snow and grey skies, so I have a nice fire flickering in the...

Very nice looking big music room . But to me the speakers look a bit small and too close together in that big space? Would you get a whole in the middle spacing them further apart? Judging from the photo and comparing to my own fireplace size I guess 3 metres? WAF requierement? I listen a...

One of several nice things with living in a cottage in the Countryside here in Sweden is that I can play my music as loud as my 1kw per channel amp and big Electrostatic speakers allow without disturbing my nearest neighbour who lives roughly half a mile downhill from me, without risking...

I want no more and no less than as transparent and highly resolved and again neutral and uncoloured reproduction of a live well recorded event in a real acoustic venue, without all the distorted subjectivity of the Synthetic World of Popular mass genres music and amplified instruments...

Hmm, I rarely reply on these forums nowadays but since I am curious to hear how much more neutral the new HEDDphone V2 is compared to V1. I could not resist replying .For me NO REAL HIFI product can be too neutral.For me HIFI is all about bringing out what is actually on a well made...

The Great Seiji Ozawa "checked out" at the honorable age of 88 years very recently. I will never forget him, especially his conducting Berlioz' Requiem at the Salzburg Festival , Summer of 1969 if my memory serves me right? Could have been 1968 too. Anyway one of the most amazing live...

Judging by the looks of it, that BIG Blue Volume Ball will "illuminate" any room its in, but not necessarily you. I accept and understand Rob's take on the coloured balls on the Mscaler and dacs as mentioned. I have in the past when my Mscaler erratically started up in pass-through mode ie...

Hmm, Stars Pickers in KL, that's where I bought both my Mscaler and my HFM HEKV2 headphones and a little battery powered psu for my Qutest. Nice shop with friendly staff and when I shopped there, clearly better prices than in Europe. And they not only served coffe but also good lunches in...
