Sam Lord Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Back in the early 1970s, before I founded Theta Electronics, the tube audio products company,... ...Bullschiit, I thought, what about the solid state A/B box and its sonic signature... Thanks, I really enjoyed your post. I have some similar stories and old arguments, missing only the part about building companies, though I did help break one. I remember hearing some very early Theta designs, and FWIW thought the Gen 5 vs. Gen 4 was a breakthrough in musicality. I still have a Bifrost which I'll send to a beloved cousin, a music lover and budding audiophile (I'm listening to lots of redbook-to-DSD128 now). No way I'll sell it, it's for family. It's an excellent piece, strong in every aspect of sound, well-conceived and constructed! Great work! Just watch it, Mike Moffat can kick your ass. Mac Mini 2012 with 2.3 GHz i5 CPU and 16GB RAM running newest OS10.9x and Signalyst HQ Player software (occasionally JRMC), ethernet to Cisco SG100-08 GigE switch, ethernet to SOtM SMS100 Miniserver in audio room, sending via short 1/2 meter AQ Cinnamon USB to Oppo 105D, feeding balanced outputs to 2x Bel Canto S300 amps which vertically biamp ATC SCM20SL speakers, 2x Velodyne DD12+ subs. Each side is mounted vertically on 3-tiered Sound Anchor ADJ2 stands: ATC (top), amp (middle), sub (bottom), Mogami, Koala, Nordost, Mosaic cables, split at the preamp outputs with splitters. All transducers are thoroughly and lovingly time aligned for the listening position. Link to comment
