Rockport Arrakis with darTZeel NHB-458

I too would like to hear that. Having heard Arrakis 2 with VTL and Altair 2 with Constellation, I liked both and preferred the VTL setup. Although other variables may have been involved to influence that, I instinctively feel like having heard the VTL with them...and then knowing others who have heard/own this combination...it is an interesting one to consider. I am also of course intrigued by the electronics Andy Payor appears to have chosen at Rockport: Gryphon, Transparent Audio and his speakers...on his website he also used to display CJ equipment.

Does not mean you will like it, but I admit I am intrigued most to hear CJ, Gryphon, Transparent with Rockport someday, particularly as these are also some of my favourite names in audio and I am already fortunate to enjoy them personally.

If you do hear this combination, definitely let us know!
