Impressive layout. I guessed Mark Levinson before zooming-in to see what it really was. 

 

those guys have been good at packaging since my ancestors were painting themselves blue and dancing around oak trees

oopps - i mean the ancient Celts - not grandpa

That pricing points up the power of mass production (or lack of it).

 

Here is another one (any guesses?):

Geez, why not just pour a big slurry onto the inner walls and call it good?  So much bling machining here; I'd rather have the mass and inelasticity of concrete with a good filler.  

 

 

if it is Al, which some speakers are now using, then it should be a lot lighter and easier to move around

Perreaux r200i.... gear porn

 

 

Is that the same radius curve as in the Arc d'Triumph?

[Ralf11]

you know, some PCD traces of DAC layouts might be interesting...

[Ralf11]

I was wondering about spacing the traces apart and various noise reduction techniques (?)

 

... based on reading the thread where people were planning their own builds of some equipment

[Ralf11]

Thx

 

also, I did not know you were working to kill our invisible sun...

[Ralf11]

do you run a repair shop?  You have a LOT of photos

[Ralf11]

Ha!  recorded on a CR-7...

[Ralf11]

C'mon George! It's filled with Italian air, containing flavors of Frantoio Muraglia Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Provolone, prosciutto, pesto, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine, Ferrari, Maserati,  Amaretto, focaccia and of course scent of beautiful Italian woman ...

 

You have to pay for this !

 

What do you get from Schiit? Only the scent of silicone air ?

You left out that noose in the Sonus speakers

[Ralf11]

Brunello good.

 

BTW, that German made Dr Feickert turntable motor looks a lot like a Sonic Frontiers...

[Ralf11]

Please thank your friend for us!

 

and... more pics of Sonic Frontiers...

STC - have you or your friend ever seen a transformer mounted on wood in a unit?
