Here's a great article that seems to describe, using only the violin, what I've found out about pretty much every instrument these days: the lack of originality of the current "top" instrumentalists.

Folks,
There's a pretty nice review of the YG Hailey 2.2 at the current edition of Hi-Fi+, written by Chris Martens.
I've attached it to this post.
I liked his closing paragraphs!
"Through the YGs the presentation was so eerily realistic that I found myself involuntarily looking for sound...
Well, I have to admit I was never a fan of single-driver speakers. I could understand the appeal (coherence), but in practice, I felt they always fell short, either on their own (pure single drivers) or when augmented with tweeters/woofers.
So, it was with this warning, and with great...
Well, seems the cat's out of the bag a little earlier :)

The Mellotron is my absolute fave instrument. Most will have heard its sound, but maybe not be familiar with the instrument itself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellotron
It is basically an ancient sampler! You might've heard its sound on early Moody Blues, psychedelia-era Beatles and Stones...
Guys,
I've always been impressed by what Dan achieved with his phono, and I thought this review is very comprehensive and informative:

Guys,
Here's a cool interview with Dan, from a few days ago:
He seems to be touching on a subject he has talked about in the store: how measurements don't mean as much to him now as they used to at Krell, and how he's really going for sheer musicality. He even went as far as to name the...
From YG:
"InVincible was created as a truly extreme solution, a no-holds-barred assault on everything deemed possible in the sub-bass realm. As with everything that YGA produces this sub-bass speaker is created in their state of the art machine shop in Colorado. YGA pushed the limits once again...
Pretty cool interview with Mr. YG!

Hi,
Seeing as it's been briefly discussed in Ron's "Visit to Alma" thread, I figured I'd open a thread to talk about this table, that we're currently enjoying and showcasing here at Alma!
Here's Michael Fremer's review in a recent Stereophile...
We received one of those a while ago, but only today I was able to get a good listen. And OMG!!!
Going from Select to Ref to this, the lineage is clear. The immediacy, the naturalness, the smoothness, all there!
