The Computer Audiophile Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Great sound again from Auralic. Really flat frequency response! Smart system choices and setup. Check it out and play your own music. Good stuff. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Hello Chris, I see they are using YG Acoustics....this should be, in IMHO, a larger part of that short review....I say this with the best intentions due to my recent audition of the Hailey’s which are just stunningly good...think this group is emerging as a premiere speaker group but with a uphill walk against the more established high end brands like Wilson and Magico.

If anyone wants to get together Friday or Saturday after the show let me know. This will be the first show I'll actually be shopping for equipment since my son wants my Klipsch Heresy based home system and I'm going to give it to him later this year. So far some interesting seminars with Chris closing the show Digital Vs. Analog. Have fun at RMAF, but let us know if you run into your "friend" Michael Lavorgna. ? Link to comment

We (Sonore) are not exhibiting this year, so I'll be doing some listening. Anyone who sees me in the hallways etc, please feel free to say hi, I'll have "Sonore" on my badge, and be wearing a Panama hat. Would love to meet folks and say hi.

Archimago Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 What does "good vibes" mean?? Does this mean it's only for people who believe in magical cables, accept MQA, believe that jitter's a massive deal, can hear pre-ringing all over the place, believes only >$1000 DACs are worthwhile...?
