Malaysia System 04
I was really curious, I never had that experience before, not one weak System, all great ones and always completely different.....
Another great room, probably one of the best tuned ones I've ever seen...electrically lighted room diffusors, super nice .....Eggleston Savoy Signature Edition Speakers, Pass XA160 monos, a TW Acoustic Raven Phono, Simonte Audio Pre (I think and I also think, it is a passive Pre when I understood it right), TW AC Turntable with Copper Top Plate, XV-1S cartridge with Axiom Arm placed on unknown Isolation Platform....and here we made comparisons with different Phono alignments....first was made with a Mint Protractor...we listened to a few records and then the owner was interested to align the XV-1s to a new calculation which is called UNI- DIN and when it was done I had serious problems to believe the overall improvement. Much better tonal definition, increased soundstage, much better headroom, much more open high frequency are combined with an unheard sonic coherence. In a way shocking how great this System was sounding now....no way back ....
Again .... late after midnight .... But...who cares -:)
Malaysia System 05
Next System visit at 02.00 pm in the afternoon, I thought, great, now I am in the normal time frame ... Indeed right but we left also that room after midnight -:)
Also very tasteful from Interior, professionally done, really super nice....Goldmund Equipment...Mimesis Series....top models ... Mono Amps Telos 3500, Goldmund Phono Preamp and the Preamp is a Digital Design when I got it right ...the communication with the Bladelius Digital was not via RCA or XLR cable.... Speakers are Grande Utopia Made in France by Focal, Turntable Clearaudio Master Reference, Souther Arm with Goldfinger Cartridge ....anyway, a very warm welcome, trying something here and there, more and more other audiophiles came by ....
And....Dinner with very relaxed audiophiles ... Again 01.00 in the morning, normally no problem....but I prepaid Hotel in Singapore....well, no way out ...a night drive to Singapore .... I am shot now .... the real Audiophile is born to suffer .....
