So close and yet so far! It would have been a pleasure to have met you at TAVES last weekend! Maybe next year, eh!

Yes I agree, sooooo close but yet so far. I went there to support, left with some great rare record finds. It was nice meeting Gary but I would have like to have seen and listened to his larger speakers

Great picture! Enjoy! I like the Ultra 5s under the speakers! Are you using HRS platforms for the amps?

DEV,

Didn't have a chance to read the entire thread.....just wondering if you tried any NOS tubes in your preamp yet.

Thanks LL21, I have had the Ultra 5's going on 2 years now under my speakers. I tried allot of different options and preferred these.

Under my amps; I have Systrum SP101's with Symposium Svelte platform placed ontop.

Hi elescher, oh yes years ago and really enjoyed - nice improvement.

I have been using Stealth Audio products for some years now with great success, about a year ago I upgraded my Sakra XLR IC's to the Sakra V12's along with my Dream speaker cables to Stealth's flagship Royale's - very nice indeed.

See below pics of the Royale, it was funny in away because when I received my package and was unpacking it was like I had a Anaconda "snake" within, these things diameter wise are huge compared to my Dream's - the fit and finish is top notch. You can see in the one pic showing the comparison, diameter wise.

Truly outstanding room David! I'm guessing by the TechDAS that you have a preference for analogue, otherwise why spend the money (I know I'm making an assumption here).

It was great to meet you last week. Are you going to TAVES? Frederic and I are going to try and hook up on the Saturday, and it would be cool if you could join us!

Thank you John. Yes my preference is analogue, I do have a very nice collection of disks.

Likewise it was nice meeting you. TAVES yes I will be going, thanks for the invite just not sure when I'll be going as of yet.

Nice to see you posting here DEV. I am assuming you are still enjoying the AF1 ?

Thanks, yes I am.
Now that you have had your Elite arm for a while what's your take in comparison to your rear slotted arm, anything obvious?
