Thanks, Steve, though I believe you forget to mention to the room number where Alex Peychevs will be demonstrating.

His ideas, and products differ from yourself, but, ya gotta hear it to believe it.  He HATES all existing manufacturers with great Passion.  He designs everything himself.

Actually it never was my passion and I very much am not in opposition to many existing manufacturers. I unfortunately could not use them because they under perform but I have no animosity to the arrangement what audio people do absolutely nothing besides just buying the necessary audio tools and use them. I do have animosity to DIY movement but it is a different subject and I most likely I should cover it in a dedicated thread.

He will be showing his NWO1=New World Order #1 digital based on the Esoteric UX-1, His own Speakers, Amps, Cable, and I gotta tell you, I have NEVER heard a system sound as good as in his Fremont Ca. home.  His room SUCKS, no treatments, but UGH, the sound was GLORIOUS.

Interesting Steve. What do you feel the difference between the Alex’s Sound and the sound of the “existing manufacturers” that Alex hates?

Now, I have never heard your system, but, at the same time, I am having a friend build me a melquads, and a buddy off the Klipsch forums, build me some high end horns, ala Bob Crites, and Al Klappenberg.

Very interesting. When you finish your Melquiades projects and familiarize yourself with it's sound then. pleas.e post your observations. I think it might be mutually beneficial.

I know you are a vinylphile but, I own the APL 3910, and will shortly own the NWO1,  these are the BEST digital on the planet IMHO.

I’m not familiar with it but I went to Alex site and learned that he deals with EMM Lab’s high-resolution format. I always found their sound despicable and I did not know why, I have here in Boston a local audio engineer who is very deeply plugged into the system (probably deeper then Ed Meitner himself) and who finally explained me what EMM unfortunately Lab does. The Meitner’s initial wonderful DSD concept with his very well performing 4-bit converters died out in end of the 90s and then Meitner converted the DSD idea into SACD – or to a consumer single bid garbage producing system that output juts frequencies, phase and noises but no sound. The guy abandoned to observe Meitner since he moved from DSD to SACD as all following results were predictably devastating. What he was telling me very much correlates with what I heard listing the EMM Lab products. Not to mention that each single CASD that I unfortunately own are piled up in the “garbage shelf” and I found them unlistenable. I do not know what the “BEST digital on the planet” is but I have a feeling that it should not be related to any modified EMM Lab products due to their fundamental and conceptual weakness.

A good friend who has the nearfield pipedream 70's, 150K in eq. just got back from Ca.  He can no longer listen to his 2 channel system.  He is haunted too.

Well, if the guy has the Pipedream speakers by Nearfield Acoustics then I very much understand way he “no longer listens to his 2 channel system”. BTW, I was not able to find at the web site that you linked the Alex Peychevs’ speakers. Anyhow, thanks for the invitation and let me know in which room you audio will be demonstrated.
