    I like the way you're both looking at the camera -- almost posed-looking.

    And...what kind of rack is that? Looks like marble supports...

    Hey Flo...months ago when you said that you would not really be around on this site anymore since you were 'above' the rest of us...I knew you couldn't resist sticking around and showing off your stuff, but at least you are being nice to people when you post, so keep that up!

    Florian,

    You system is exemplary to me even though much more than what I could aspire to.

    I respect an audiophile who isn't such a purist that he won't acknowledge the benefit of digital processing. I possed the question on another forum whether analog to 24/96 to analog was essentially transparent to human hearing assuming SOTA processing. The responses were mostly distainful though a couple allow that there could be a net benefit under some circumstances. One suggested maybe 32/384 might be close enough.

    OH! And you'll love this: Jon Risch, an AA Bored member, declared that TacT RCS 2.2 XP was "mid-fi". Gosh!! I guess you'll be looking for an upgrade straight away. :smilewinkgrin:

    Thank you!

    I am no fan of "purist audiophile" stuff and dont believe in magic stones and african trees that bring down the noise floor. I am technical guy and one of the reason why i bought my speaker is the digital porcessing and the no bull**** aproach to speaker design. Also the Tact 2.2XP is an incredible product once you know how to use it, maybe Jon doesnt :-)

    The Tact doesnt have a "signature sound" as opposed all other High End products and will give you the sound from the recording or any way you like your responce to be. I am enjoying a lot of it. But i do find the 88.2KHz sampling rate nicer to listen to instead of 192KHz so maybe there is something going on here.

    Cheers

    No brand. It was handmade by a marble cutting company in Italy. The Marble comes out of the Garda lake in Italy and a local company cut it, polished and refined the edges. No brand name here.

    That is quit an impressive system for sure. What are your musical tastes? And, have you ever felt like you were overdoing it on your system?:6:

    Beautiful rack, Flo. There has been some pretty impressive progress since day one. Top notch stuff and I imagine it sounds overwhelmingly good.

    You're right Flo...I just dont' get it. I don't understand how someone who could have what you have could also be so ignorant. Honestly without this site in your life it would seem that you would not have any satisfaction in your life since you seem to get all of your self worth out of people being impressed with what you have. You don't seem to care for me just because I don't drool all over your gear.

    You do realize that that's all we talk about here? I mean, if one were to meet someone on a golf site, and all they talked about was golf, one might think that all they cared about was golf, but then when you meet that person in real life, you find out they care about all the other things in life as well -- drinking, sex, laughing, watching television, etc., but they just don't talk about it on the golf site because...well, it isn't golf.

    And i am glad you dont drool over my gear but even if you did, i couldnt care less. To me your a few dead pixels on the screen. Enjoy your system.

    I drool over some stuff in here, like a new House GM is building.

    actually,
    this sucks,

    the more I look at your rack, the more I want it, should be a huge improvement compared to how I have my gear set up now...

    Rock on...

    Beautiful rack.
    Are the columns marble as well? Are they threaded? How are the marble slabs attached? The photo shows some sort of a bolt sticking out of the top shelf. Is that for more shelves as needed/wanted? Are you going to cap them or just leave them as they are. Looks unfinished the way it is but absolutely gorgeous. Marble is a great material.
