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 Wolf Von Langa speakers, Burmester integrated amp, and Lampizator tube DAC. not sure what they’re using as a streamer. $40k+ USD total. mixed bag. vocals were velvety and the presentation was layered and spacious. unfortunately the speakers were terrible, zero low-end so they sounded wimpy as hell. I’m pretty intrigued by tube DACs because they are mixing tubes and digital D/A conversion which seems counterintuitive but for some reason just “works” to make digital sound less… digital. it either makes perfect sense or it’s a travesty as purists claim.
