Yo Flo. Nice rack!
Cute puppy too.
-
congrats, nice rack,
and
yes, it's a nice puppy...
but how did you come to that name?
Rock on...
Bert.
-
NIce rack.. Is that an Ikea lamp haha...
Of course Florian named his dog after Basite.. hahaha
-
Thanks guys. The puppy already had this name when i got him from the pet shelter. He is 4 now...and the name fits ;-)
-
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...
-
the WAF score of that setup is like -2,056!
-
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!
-
Dear PeruvianSkies,
and you still dont get it. Thats ok tough.
Cheers
PS: The Rack is made out of Marble.
-
Nice going!!

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.

Impressed
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.
-
Thanks a lot guys! :-) Ill write more later.
Cheers
-
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...
Bert.

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.

Many questions ;-)
1. The columns are black marble, yes.
2. They are threaded
3. The slaps rest on rubber seperation discs on the columns.
4. The bolt will be covered by golden pyramids once done
I am still switching between 4 and 5 shelves. Will see what future addons bring.
Cheers

Very nice.
One question.
Are you sporting a crooked bulge? Very Nice. LOL.

To each his own...but this kind of system just doesn't appeal to me and yes I've listened to similar set ups. My B&W 601's in a 10x12 room with my amp sitting on a particleboard stand take me away. It's not the stereo you listen to guys, its the music. Cease with the ruckus!:(

Comments, criticism, ridecule? Not sure how well this is set up but I literally have 120sq/ft for my 2-channel and HT.

If your willing to share with me the similar systems you have heard, and especially the location of the other 3 pair that exist in the United States then please share with me. I will buy a second pair faster then you can type a reply in this thread, if Joe doesnt buy them before me.
I am glad you like your 602's but to argue about the "music" is pointless, or do you believe i spend over 100K and do NOT listen to music? The perfection of reproduction of the Music is key to this hobby for me.
-
calegrant, sure, you can sit and enjoy your music, but to tell off flo because he spends more money on his stereo? thats just suicide!
I bet if you heard flo's system, you'd never be able to listen to your own again.
now, you think he doesn't enjoy his music?
go away noob...
-
Dude if you understood what I was writing you would realize I wasn't making an attack towards you, more so towards those criticizing you.
I feel sorry if only perfection appeals to you but many of us don't require that. You're ignorant as hell if you think people can only enjoy systems like yours. I guarantee that I've gotten just as much enjoyment out of my $50 dollar walkman I had a teen as you have from your 100k set-up.
Apparently you two are so used to people instigating arguements you think I'm just here to do the same. I didn't mean anything negative towards him in my original post yet he took it that way for whatever reason. Yes I'm a noob to the techincal aspects of reproducing music but I'm not a noob to listening to it.
I really feel sorry for people like you, the cookies on it's way.
-
Dear NEW member,
lets not get off on the wrong foot. I am happy for you and your enjoyment but first lets get some things straight. The chance that you have heard my speaker is pretty much ZERO, if not Absolute ZERO. And to argue, or even compare a 500$ speaker (not putting it down) to a system costing today aprox. 250K is morronic. Its not even anywhere near the same ballpark. Its not even the same sport! Do you really believe i would buy this system, wait over half a year for my technician to fix the board computers, drive hundreds if not thousands of miles across Europe to get them in a 3.5 Ton truck if i didnt like music?
Think about
PS: Your argument that i asume someone can only enjoy music on a system like mine is stupid and false. These are not my thoughts or feelings.
-
Age 19, Mover, B&W 325, Bedroom System and your an expert at listening?
Dude...... this thread is DEAD now
-
Wrong foot yes, I didn't mean to attack your decision to spend that kind of money on audio gear. In fact my first words were meant to signify this but it was lost on you.
In response to your last post if you dug deeper you'd realize I joined this forum well over a year ago when I was just getting out of High school, don't even try to attack what I do for a living. I'm working part time yes, but I'm also studying architectural science at BCIT with the prospects based on my grades to continue much further and obtain my masters. Do you really think you can judge someone based soley upon a description on an online forum?
If I'm such a joke then why is it that you've put any amount of time telling me this? Go listen to your speakers some more or do something worthwhile with the money. You may be an expert when it comes to home audio but I think it's evident you're a complete and utter moron when it comes to life. Stop trying to use the negative sides of me to in some way make yourself feel better. It's sad really.
edit~ thank the good people who designed this forum for ignore lists

My english is sufficient. FYI J-Murda, they're all about commando style in Europe.
As to the remainder of the thread, people hatin' on Flo is getting to be tiring.
-
Noone is atacking you based on your job. I am attacking you because you asume i belive that someone can not enjoy music as on their system as i do on mine based on price. And you are saying that, not me.
I am calling you a NOOB and i am saying that you are nowhere near any position to judge my system and my effort going in to it based on the threads you have started like....
Can I run a sub?
or
Settlement cheque, time to buy speakers!
or
New to high end audio..
You are wandering to someone who has dedicated most of his teenage live and worked his ass off to buy one of the most exotic and rare speakers ever build on this earth and argue with him over the wrongly asuming fact that he doesnt believe music can be enjoyed on a smaller system? Have you lost your mind?
This is a few leagues to high for you, now get outta my thread before the whole ballpark laughs at you.
Just so you know, i am writing to you because this is the most amusing reply i have gotten since Spanking Vanilla Ice, altough you seem to be on the same level of intelligence as him. And in case this comment
"Go listen to your speakers some more or do something worthwhile with the money."
is supposed to make me think then you failed again. I am comfortable with my Hobby and my financial abilities. Are you?

Thanks buddy,
its been a while and we where all comfortable and i could share my passion just like everyone else. But its typical for me to get attacked based on the financial abilites. A true pitty! If these morrons knew how many beginners i have helped and still do, with their room acoustics, speaker choices etc...
-
These morons? I came into this thread without attacking you yet you act like a child and start an argument for no apparent reason. You're like the fat kid on the school yard who has to pick on the smaller ones just to make himself feel better. Sorry but while you were spending so much time to aquire meaningless material possessions I was working towards a future and learning about life. Apparently you missed a few classes, must have had to go home early. Being high on the smell of of your own **** can do that to a person.

Ahh, but not the most exotic and rare. If you truely loved music as you say you do, you would have the most exotic and rare. Don't bother coming back until you get serious about this hobby Flo!
They really need to invent a sarcasm font.
