Your Next Upgrade? (Part 2)

I believe that is a streamer or a preamp. All there gear has the same style.

A disappointment indeed, Geoff Poor’s demo as explained to me when I purchased the SabrinaX was to be Maggie 2.7X, Luxman 509Z, and MPD-8. None of it made it to his room due to logistical issues. When I pushed him on why he became a bit agitated, so something behind the scene went awry. Unfortunate, as he was truly excited to demo the combo at Axpona.

Interesting, maybe Playback Design’s distribution/ dealerships are under “revision” with Andreas’ visit to the States.

I do know that everything they make is presold and the wait list is (or recently was) 3 months or more.

The Playback Designs DAC is, I heard, eight months back ordered. Such conditions negate the need to market I suppose.

While at the show I negotiated with the Synergistic guys an “I stole it” price for a 6.3A Pink (which will be shipped to me). I’ll give it a try in my P20. If I don’t like it I’ll sell it.

Post Axpona Ramblings:
The Bacch-SP is on my mind post as is the Grimm MU2.
My banker says down boy!
I am close to a decision on my integrated amplifier choice as well.
My banker inquires what are you waiting for?

I don’t think they advertise much anyway. At least I haven’t seen any in the usual places. I got my recommendation strictly by a suggestion and waited 3 moths for it to get there then 10 more months before I could set it up.

No regrets though. It’s a piece that you set and forget.

A most recent change, replacing my Audible Illusions Modulus 3A with John Curl Phono Stage and the conrad-johnson Premier 11a amplifier. A second step in my consolidation and down sizing effort.

The Vitus RI-101A MkII integrated amplifier. @badbeef had a bit of influence on my final decision. Ultimately it came down to Vitus RI-101 MkII, Gryphon Diablo 300, Grandinote Solo, Accuphase E-800, Pass Labs INT-60 integrated amplifiers. I believe the Vitus is best suited to my recently added Wilson Audio SabrinaX for the presentation I prefer.

I am the grumpy one in the rear. That is the look I make when listening to YG Acoustic speakers.
