High End Audio For the Passionates

[ack]

I think this facebook page merits special mention here https://www.facebook.com/pages/High-End-Audio-For-The-Passionates/266187900250821 - I've been following it since November...

The photography is superb, the gear is really sensational, and you get the occasional ... Agent Provocateur Ahhh, those French, they don't only make fine wine and cheese

Wow. Stunning in more ways than one .

I can't see it because I don't have a facebook account and have no plans ever sign up.

This is reason enough to sign up, see it, and then kill your account.

FYI I have no use for the darn thing either but it is a necessity at times as some companies only have facebook presence. And some past work colleagues use it to contact me instead of LinkedIn.

I will post *some* of my favorite images for those of you who don't have a facebook account:

Amir & Others, Post #5 / Image #5 - photo with McIntosh equipment: do those speakers work properly? or did they just squeeze the towers for photo shoot?
Thanks for any replies, zz.

Looks like they are wired up so I say it is part of the gear. They have built an array out of the little speakers which may be playing all but low frequencies. And the array of woofers/subs compliment the rest. But I am just guessing.

??? so are the woofers?/low midrange? slamming into the back of the little speakers by design??? I know as you say >just guessing<, but I find it strange. If nothing else accurate time alignment is down the tubes [not meaning horns].

Hey Amir, I'm surprised this one didn't make the cut.........you must not be a vinyl guy.

As my grandfather would always say (albeit referring to women), Hubba, hubba, hubba......

BTW some of the better systems here and on a'gon are on Passionates.

Another interesting one:

Today they are depicting the Micro Seiki SX-8000 arm - never heard of it before, quite interesting

Hubbaa, hubba, hubba indeed I did not see that one. There are just way, way too many cool pictures there. I just grabbed the first few.

I think this is the only time I have found value in Facebook!

These look like DIY speakers

I don't think you are an analog lover until you have a bathroom like this:

Seems like some of our taxes in US go into music related items:

While I too had been a Facebook holdout, so many of my friends and family are frequent posters that I too joined. It's too much a part of the American culture to ignore. Those who choose to ignore it do so at their own loss. Head in the sand ostrich comes to mind. I refuse to be one of the many OF audiophiles who want to argue "if you can't measure it, it's bunk!

Some of you are really missing out

 

[Barry2013]

Thanks ack.
Great photos of some great kit

Consider me signing up for an account. The 12th pic- uh, um, maybe I shouldn't sign up. (But I want to).
