first up is this system with Vimberg speakers, Metronome DAC/streamer, Vinnie Rossi hybrid tube/solid-state amps and preamp. $120k+ USD total. pretty meh, nothing special. had some weird colouration, tonality didn’t sound right to me. honestly if I were an outsider to the industry and walked in, I’d never guess this was worth the same $$ as a really nice car.

next up is this system with Acora Acoustics speakers, VPI turntable, Audio Research tube amp and preamp, and Grimm streamer. $80k USD+ total. okay now we’re talking. plenty of tubey goodness, sounded great with jazz. vinyl was especially enjoyable with a more spacious and relaxed presentation. fun fact: these speakers are actually made of solid stone. perhaps the only speaker line of its kind currently in production.

Made of *stone*? OMG. I was gonna say I love that marbled look... but if I hadn't heard it from you, I doubt I would have believed it was actual stone. Gorgeous.

these sounded pretty good too, not harsh like you’d expect for pure *stone* hahah. I believe they’re a Canadian manufacturer as well, which is fairly uncommon these days. I can only name a few others off the top of my head. really appreciate you reading @danicaswanson! I can always count on you as a supporter which is very meaningful whether you realize it or not.
