The Worlds Most Expensive Audio System.

[MrAcoustat]

Being a panel guy there are a few non panel speakers that i could live with , here is one of them, of course for ME the turntable would be replaced by a CDP from MBL so would the electronics all in white because i'm pure.

 

[rockitman]

of course that system's sound would be maximized by the vinyl source, not the digital. Sorry Andre'...you can only live in denial for so long.

Just out of curiosity, Mr. A, have you ever heard a system using that turntable?

 

[rockitman]

yeah, that was one of the few tables out there that still arouses me...

Sorry Christian, i have heard this system with the MBL cdp and it was good enough for me, NOISE FREE MUSIC, NO POPCORN.

The answer to your question is NO, i have NO interest in vinyl whatsoever and it as nothing to do with the sound it as everything to do with surface noise, i was at T.A.V.E.S. 2012 in Toronto last month and had a listend to a 38k turntable made in Quebec, it sounded very good BUT there was surface noise ( POPCORN ) and I am not able to live with that, so i will stick with MY cdp and let others enjoy their turntables.

PS: My LAST analog rig Oracle Delphi - Stax UA-9N - Grace F-9Ruby ( 1983 ) since then it as been ALL CDP'S

I have an MBL cdp Andre - haven't spun a cd on it the last 2 years... maybe you should try using music servers ( I have 2 - Memory Player 64 and Modwright Platinum Transporter), they're almost as good as turntables and sound much better than cd players.. more convenient to use too.

For ME, i want to be real clear again for ME, i am 67 years old and i do mean old, health is not very good and will stick with cdp's till the end, i have a computer base system in my computer room for when i'm on the net, all cd,s imported in Itunes apple lossless BUT in my living room it's cd,s only, of course i am very difficult in my choice of software my music selection is 90% instrumental Jazz - Newage - Electronic - world - NOTHING FOR ME IS TO SMOOTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Sorry to hear of your health condition Andre'... On another note, why do you go out of your way to describe vinyl playback as popcorn ? Clearly that statement is ignorant and shows your true lack of experience and understanding in the matter.

Best Regards...

I heard a similar system at the Newport Beach show and it gave me a headache.

It's your right to think that i'm ignorant but what i'm saying is FACT vinyl does sound very good BUT you cannot argue with the fact that it is NOISY even if you don't want to admit it, the crackling noise ( popcorn ) or snack crackle and pops may not bother YOU but it's there, being able to live with that inconvenience is one thing but saying that it doesn't exist that is something else so please keep on enjoying your vinyls and i will keep on enjoying my cd,s the important thing here is what you like NOT what others do, LIVE AND LET LIVE, it's all about the music analog or digital.

I think I clearly demonstrated with a you tube video that a clean record does not have noise. I used electrostatic speakers just like you. It is however possible that your electrostatic speakers are extrememy revealing and you are sensitive to noise. Bit to say vinyl is noisy for everyone IMO is wrong.
OTOH I am happy you have found a medium you enjoy and see no reason you should change.

it is a joke

 

[NorthStar]

it is a joke

-----Which one? :b ...The first one probably.

 

[MrAcoustat]

double post sorry

 

[A.wayne]

Not with an FMA phono stage ..... .crack and pop a thing off the past ...

 

[MrAcoustat]

Yes you're right, the noise isn't alway there but BE PATIENT IT WILL COME and it's normal where there is friction there is noise, that's FACT.
