Stop the nonsense. i was never a dealer and you live in CH so you know that this is non-viable wth the cost of living here. You KNOW I work in Pharma like Audiophile Bill and indeed spent the entire afternoon in the Swiss Biotech conference in Eysins. I, like many people got a demo unit Dac to listen to as a favour and returned the favour by sending it to interested people to listen to. The Dac is not my property and goes back to Lukasz or gets sold locally. I have ZERO financial interest and indeed pay a penalty as my wife complains about the clutter of storing it! On the other hand, you went for countless weeks here touting the Aries brand without disclosing your dealer status.
I never said you didnt like the Lampi, I said dont say its a slam dunk without mentioning that you never did a head to head and that you only know the lower Atlantic line.
I dont have anything to hide and I am very vocal about the stuff I like, like Job amps, iFi products, Heil speakers, Swisscables, Lumenwhite TT, Stenheim speakers, Dartzeel amps and Danalog Dac, CH M1 amp, Illusonic IAP processor, Goldmund active speakers and a few others I KNOW well.
Finally, I am open about not hearing the Aries, but have chatted with Believe Hifi and Stavros online enough to understand the design principles and the passion involved. I know it HAS to be a great set of products and indicated before that I would like to make it to Regensdorf this year to hear in person.
I announced what I was doing once a company with my name attached was established firmly. Not before.
It was my understanding that you were a Lampizator dealer but if you say you are not I accept that. i know you have a pharma job, I also have, as you know, a day job...no need to make a living from it . Just following were the passion leads...
As for the rest? Well I will look forward to seeing you at the show.
