Sure, one can ask for civility. Declaring that there be only "good vibes" when we know the kind of temperament at least one of the moderators is known for (including rather indiscriminate banning and censorship) seems to be a bit disingenuous and bound to close off open sharing of facts and opinions.

I believe it will mean "carefully arranged thinly veiled vehicle for an MQA love-fest", with no dissenters allowed (tightly moderated by ML). Much as I don't quite despise ML and JD to the extent some others do, I suspect this new site will be puke-worthy all the same.

Popular Post austinpop Posted October 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2018 I am pleasantly surprised at the number of rooms that sound good at RMAF this year! My favorite room today: Nagra HD electronics, Nagra reel-to-reel deck, Rockport Cygnus. Get thee to the 10th floor and listen. Simaudio Moon electronics with Scansonic speakers: and later in the afternoon, replaced by Raidho TD-4.8: This Merging stack was sounding mighty fine - DAC, PSU, and just announced Master clock: Just to highlight how show conditions matter - these Golden Ear References were sounding rather nice here, paired with Hegel electronics, unlike what I've heard at other shows where I didn't like them: These Dali active speakers sound amazing for the $5700 price point: My favorite headphones: Meze Empyrean headphones ($3000): Warwick Sonoma Electrostatics ($5000 with DAC/amp): Abyss AB-1266 Phi CC motberg, MikeyFresh and daverich4 1 2 My Audio Setup Link to comment

If I had to venture a guess on a launch date, I'd put my money on November 12, 2018. I have no inside information leading me to believe this is the official date.

Don Blas De Lezo Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Thanx Computer Audiophile. I guess it is better to launch a little later than expected and do it right than rush it and do it wrong. Have fun there ! rando 1 Link to comment

The Computer Audiophile Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 This system sounds really good. Roon rolling off the very top end via EQ to tame the room. Sub on or off these new Electa Amator III sound great. Also love the digital input board on the MA9000 integrated from McIntosh. Swapable easily when tech changes. Stop in and say high to Will to request some good tunes. One of the coolest guys in HiFi. AudioDoctor 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Not sure this is going to work but I’ll give this slo-mo video a shot.

Ralf11 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I'm curious why the SQ in the rooms is better - re @austinpop comment above - Did they have more time for setup than most shows? Or are exhibitors learning? Link to comment
