I agree.
Bonzo, you need to meet up with us next time the Tres Amigos ride again
That would be awesome. In three years or so hope to host you in London on a great horn system.
Yes, but never at home. They sound like crap with the Levinson gear but I've heard them with better electronics at a couple of my client's homes and they sound fantastic. They're also very beautiful, at least in my eyes. My issue with them the is that they're not SET friendly anymore. Maybe the Lamm ML3 can drive them but that would be it. That's why I stayed with the M9500, you can drive them with almost anything and sound great with both solid state and tube electronic.

They do nice work but they have various levels of so called restoration. They have reproduction JBL cabinets, their own models loosely based on the JBLs, heavily modified originals and sometimes just basic refurbished ones, I'd stick with the latter.

Little annoyances like life, time, money, resources, etc., my craze of speakers and tts already took care of all that and then some! Toys you see are some of what I'm left with not what I purchased. Then there was the question of software which is very limited and expensive, many of which I've already heard enough times not to want to hear again. The heavy hitters like Steve, Airbearing, Christian and Mike L can tell you all about it and what it takes to get it right. As alluring as these high end decks and their sound quality are I'm in the sit back and enjoy phase of my life, not looking for new adventures. Though, I must admit that Airbearing's has a little Studer with my name on it

I had found this while researching the Shun Mooks - but surely the cost of the software plus this will be less than one of your TTs http://unitedhomeaudio.com/shun_mook_for_the_uha_tape_d.htm
Figure $300-400 per album....2 tape reels and the full blown UHA Phase 12 deck with all the options will be around $25k. Not a cheap date venture by any means.
Not necessarily, just take Christian's figure and multiply it by about 400-500 albums that would make a nice collection, it adds up fast. On the other hand I have thousands of LPs that on average cost me less than a couple of bucks and can buy many more for very little.
