Isn’t that Al’s ancestral lineage who posed as the Pegasus tamer statuary?

That is very interesting tech. I may have to jump on the bus.

I snagged the last of the 6500 dollar packages. The Babyface pro FS next shipment from Germany has a ECD of end of March due to supply chain . Or the salesman duped me for quick sale. Lol either is a possibility.

But their is lots of good YouTube videos out there. Everyo seems gobsmacked. You can use a iPad app or remote to control the bacch. I can order a IR tracker off Amazon if The camera doesn’t work well enough at low light. They did not upsell me on in ear mics either since I was not recording they said the filters sound equivalent. Nice folks.

Good to know. I didn’t call them but did send an email and never got a reply so I assumed they were maxed out due to recent peaked interest.
I don’t think I want to spend the money for the big bucks system just to find out though so I will wait.
But not patiently. :grinning:

I found their reply in my inbox sent on New Years Eve. I thought they missed my questions. But i was wrong.

This video helped convince me I’d enjoy the budget offering and of course I will tweak it up with Linear Power Supplies and the best cables.

Actually, I have frequently seen comments that give me pause about the software solution. Some have suggested some songs sound worse. I have never experienced that. The adio version at the stock price is all you need. And you can lose a preamp and dac in the process. Or not if you are like me. Being like me is useful.

*but I had the top of the line Ideon DAC in its flight case. The DAC the adio has is extraordinary.

I guess I will have two weeks not to like it. I admit the all- in- one solution is tempting but since I am locked into MK2 I will try software and put the imac on a LPS. If it was just software and calculations of filters with measuring tapes. I would be more apprehensive.

Modest upgrade, but I am going to add outriggers to my Encores that also will fit the Gaia’s. Should have them this weekend to test out.

I choose not.

Today is a perfect day to not.

Settling in with my latest upgrade(s).
The Zenith Mk3 + Phoenix (+ Qobuz) are great combinations for extending my music journey and the Linkwitz LX521.4 + Pro6/ASP are just mesmerising - currently listening to Moby “Reprise” album - Wow.
What’s next - hmmmmm …. TSS perhaps.

Nice - is that some sort of sloping riser behind the speakers?
I’m also intrigued by the screens(?) between the diffusors at the front :slight_smile:

(maybe crop the lowest few pixels on the first pic :wink: )

Nothing sloping behind the speakers, I think it might be the angle of the phone camera combined with the short focal length (~28mm).
The centre panels are hybrid diffusers with curved acrylic inserts to provide diffusion- specs as below.

I can see it now - I think the shadow from the RH speaker makes it look slopey :slight_smile:
