Congrats on the new brats. And family. How things have changed. Even though Amy has introduced sound problems I appreciate the decoration efforts. Also the Angels playing strings tapestry is magnificent. So did you ever get Zarathustra functional...

Yesterday I retune and recalibrated the whole Macondo and Milqs, tubes, drives, horns, angles, timing… everything. The snapshot or fully calibrated Macondo that I made in the page 14 of this thread was phenomenal help. I think everyone who runs m...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We are departing today from Edinburgh after 3 days ride over Scotland Highland and the island of Skye. Looking back to the 14 days I would say that among many very interesting new sensations that we consumed there was nothi...

I did my very best to disguise myself as I am a local Scottish fellow. I bought a ridicules hat and smoked only British tobacco but I guess it was not enough. We spend a phenomenally pleasant nigh in a desolate but remarkably cute hotel on a bank of ...

I have a constant straggle with my wife. We have to a great
degree similar musical tastes and generally we love to listed music together.
After all, we met because we both admire Bruckner. However, we have very different
patterns how she and I lis...

Well, I need to admit that with arriving Thomas and to a
degree with adopting Amy my relationship with my listening room have changed.
It is not the relationship change but the volume that listening room occupies in
my daily practice. I very much ...

I got three amassing audio feelings lately.
This November was certainly the month to remember. Hospitalizing with Kitty in November 7, giving birth to baby and then staying in hospital with them to the beginning of...

Amy is going at some kind of conference in San Francisco
during the February-March spilt and she wants me to go with her. She loves to
have her House Boy Coco with her to get her foot massages and back rubs… So, I
am trying to figure out what I wi...

It is coming Friday, this will be fun. We have manatee
1:30PM concert with BSO under Andris Nelsons. It will be Bruckner 6. I am not

and I should not even to think to mi...

Amy and I have different relationship with music on our phones. She is iPhone user and has enter 64G phone staffed with huge collection of classical repertoire. I am Driod user and have just a handful downloaded recordings. One of the recording, I h...

This concept of having a new listening room not contaminated with playback elements is very interesting. I did not have “living room” with no playback for… many-many years, so I am kind of not accustomed to it. I do not think that I wanted to have li...

It is a mid of April and the weather is turning to be beautiful. The house of ours is kind of outdoorsy facility and we spent a LOT of time on the deck during worm mouths. We have huge deck that covers all 3 sides of house and we have a very cool dec...

[quote user="Stitch"]Personally I am not interested to talk about reviewers, because it is wasted time (they don't review something, they design a Product Placement and maybe they add that they 'like' it...)[/quote] Well, it is not about talking abou...

I was not “getting” the Scotland unit today, just before Amy fed me 25 years old, cask-strength Laphroaig. Then she packed baggage with Cohibas that she “bought for herself” and issued 5 vouchers for listening chair in-house smoking. I am telling you...

[quote user="rickmcinnis"]It is possible someone would buy the house JUST FOR THE SYSTEM and leave it as a separate listening house… [/quote] Yes, that would be very gratifying for sure and my ego will be dramatically enlarged but in reality we all k...

Amy plays peaty much weekly chamber music. I listen them sometime and the idea to let her quartets to sound slightly bigger in homes, in the way how they would sound in concert hall, never left me. Of cause we are talking about an active extension of...

I need to admit that after out UK trip last month I got more sensible what Amy is striving to make the Opera Room to feel and to look. She is British and Finish offspring with British root to be very strong in her, she actually a direct descendant of...

The Bessnow’s home turned tonight in absolute Nirvana, as far as I concerned. We kind of have a slow evening (Amy is on calls) and we desired to convert into true quality time. Kitty decided to let me to smoke my Cuba’s Cohabits in house. So, my 18...

Considering the employments I would like to make in my installation after the floor will be done and the system is re-assembled I am very much thinking about some kind of new cable management solution. I have 21 powered components in my playback syst...

What do you know; it looks like I will be attending the Montreal show next week. Amy wants to go to Québec, for a cultural trip. We will be in Portsmouth on Friday and will take north from there. I did not attend audio show for a few years and frank...

That sucks. I use to have a box of perhaps a dozen of YO186 but I did not see it for a while, pretty much from the time I moved to new house. I was listening today some of my “critical” reference stuff and concluded with very high certainty that my M...

A few days back an audio guy from Mexico-city visited me from. We did listen some music, talk a bit about audio. As usually I interrogated him about the problem he hears in my sound. The people who were in my room know that I do it with absolutel...

The Opera Room is turning out to be a really bitch and I am very surprised how this room get transferred from a worthless place in the house to something that we really enjoy. As the new furniture and new sitting arrangement is got developed during ...

All joy to you and Amy!As to whether your son will develop an interest in Macondo and all the rest of your audio, I can offer only one data point, as to how my own son has reacted to all my (much more modest) audio adventures. In short, he takes ver...

A few weeks back I bought Bruckner 8 by Australian conductors Simone Young leading Hamburg State Philharmonic. I need to admit that I got it only because Simone Young is woman and I would like to see some kind of special female touch of Bruckner. Cal...

Amy clearly acknowledged the difference but when I asked her to describe to me the difference ... and she begun to explain to me the deference she heard it from a position of a sting player. It was fan to hear from her...
