Perfect!

I'll come up on Tuesday (if that's OK?) and we can deal with the tie rods and I'll leave my Crystal Cable Ultra Diamond speaker cables for a week. They are not double Crown performance standard (or price!), but they are from the same stable so would be a good reference point as an entry level cable that might come in to consideration. Although they are on a Mk2 version now. Compared to the Siltech which you have on loan.

I'll also bring my Bladelius integrated and you can have that for a week. You might be surprised how good it is with the M7 if you crank up the bias from where I have it set for M3. If you like what you hear the Oden Class A Mk2 + optional DAC module should come in to consideration to replace the Gryphon + Accuphase and pass on the MSB Cascade. That would be a major upgrade, and at no cost.

The necessary preparations have been made for your “Bladelius,” ensuring that it occupies the position it rightfully deserves.

If I had my time over again I would dispense with an eight box Esoteric stack and Halcro mono-block power amps and go for the single box Bladelius Oden integrated.

Hey Brodric, it’s never too late to make a change! I could totally be happy with S5s and Horn speakers too. But this M7s is definitely the best decision I’ve ever made! It’s time to go all out! 🫣

After a few years poking you to abandon previous thinking, finally. I'm happy spending other people's money for a good cause.

Have a listen to alt-J The Dream (CARBS Remix Edition). As a demo example of what properly optimized stereo speakers can achieve. This 320 kbps 2-ch track sounds like you're sitting in the middle of a 16-ch lossless Dolby ATMOS system. Close your eyes and it's hard to believe two speakers can weave such a magical 3D sound stage.

 

(I think I've embedded the correct link, there are others that don't render the spatial 3D effect)

 

 

Here is an iPhone capture from QoBuz. 

 

 

@AccMagi7sMagic setup, enjoy, may it bring all that you want & then some...🎶😎

 

Dare say Ben Frost -Killshot on those speakers, at a decent volume, would be amazing.

I was deeply offended by the unreasonable criticism and foul language I received from a small group of unprivileged visitors who visited yesterday. It’s disheartening when jealousy sets in and people become envious of others’ opportunities. This experience has made me mindful of who I invite for an authentic listening session. Some people seek to undermine the setup because they can’t justify or afford to accommodate them. I’m disappointed and don’t think they’ll return. 

I've read your system build thread with great pleasure over my time here on StereoNET.

 

I'm astonished to read you welcomed people into your home only to find them rude and ungrateful for the opportunity to experience your wonderful system.

 

I hope this doesn't stop you from updating your thread here for those of us who receive great vicarious enjoyment in following your incredible journey.

 

All the best, David

Well that is a little disappointing. What people need to keep in mind is that this whole thing is subjective anyway. I enjoy listening to others set ups because of how different they are, provides alot of perspective.

Certainly! A constructive perspective is beneficial when conducted in a courteous manner with an open mind. It is unacceptable to be rude and use offensive language. We all have our opinions, but it is important to express them in a well-mannered and educated manner.

Absolutely, especially as a guest. Unfortunately some people think there is only one right way to approach this and social media / online interactions have made things either the best thing ever or complete crap.

Indeed, I was also mistaken. Regardless, let us proceed. They will not be welcome back, and they are aware of their identity from reading this.

 

Now back to our enjoyment, a selected Torbek runrig, as we discussed in last gtg, awaits you and @mtf @Midori in the near future. 🥳

Incredibly ignorant and ungracious for invited guests to be so disrespectful. What on earth did they think they were achieving with their uncouth behavior. Even more astounding that they're SNA'rs! Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course but to be so rude as to openly disparage with foul language is bad-form for sure.

 

Take it on the chin and then enjoy your system with a smile Chanh.

Man that’s sad to hear your kill joy event ,  I know the feeling , hopefully it’ll never happen again  

Get back into it and indulge , you deserve it and btw finish filming that limited edition playlist called 

CCTV - Chanhs Certified Therapeutic Vibes .

Happy Days

Price rises for Magico speakers in the US market have been announced, commencing for orders placed after 30 June. So @AccMagi7s your investment is increasing in value!

You’re correct (again) about this, Brodric. It seems you are an excellent fortune teller for others, but yourself with your misfortune electronics and car. That said, my M7s aren’t for sale, even with a price rise or significant profit. I love them!

Well done you for being so decent about this.

Unbelievable that anybody would come into someone else's place as a guest and then behave in the way which you described.

Pathetic behaviour.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your kind comments and support. I particularly want to acknowledge Dan Cross at Addicted to Audio for their invaluable assistance in facilitating this project. It presented a substantial logistical challenge, and their efforts were instrumental in overcoming it. Well done!

 

 

 

Wow Chanh !  Congrats! I hope to come listen

Hey Sean! Sure Bro. Are you back in Perth yet? 

Constructive advice/opinion is always welcome when it's delivered in the right friendly manner. It's one way sometimes we can achieve improvements or more pleasure. People have different tastes and opinions and it's upto yourself to agree or disagree, thats part of the quest for sonic nirvana. But jealousy does come into play unfortunately. I for one enjoy reading about your journey. Cheers.

Yes back! I'm still amazed at your previous Magico's top notch performance - both measurement and subjective. I still haven't recovered from how good they were and now you have the flagship !? Wow, Amazing.
