High End Reproduction is back

Dear Syntax, Can you say more about the speakers or direct us to more information?  Is the phono stage tube or transistor type? Thanks.

Noromance, Surely you had tongue in cheek when you opined that this system "must be at least $10K".  $10,000 won't even buy the cartridge, or maybe just barely.

@lewm Indeed! The Apolyt alone is $300k.

It seems amazing that a HiFi system, or just the TT to play vinyl is worth more than a Lamborghini and the whole system probably twice the worth of my home...  Still there are plenty around who will buy them without blinking. Put it in the beach house...  Ho Hum....

Thanks @syntax for sharing your impressions and those great photos. Thanks to Audiogon I learnt of Acoustical Systems and am the proud owner of their SMARTactor alignment tools. I also have their Axiom tonearm and Paladian cartridge, and thanks to a member of Audiogon one of their limited edition Omnigon phono preamps. I think their gear is first class.  All I now need is one of those APOLYT turnatables and a bigger apartment to accommodate it!

I do hope that just like with the Axiom where a cheaper little brother Aquilar was later produced, that one day a little brother of the APOLYT will arrive. That I would really love to hear. The APOLYT is a statement product to showcase and formulate what the designer can do, cost no object. Bring on Baby APOLYT!
