There’s a sort of Bauer meets Brinkmann thing going on with this one. Cheap.

Isn’t the speaker marketing using the term ‘vintage’ as in a wine vintage -eg this is a vintage year for Medoc. But it’s certainly not a very convincing slogan.

Hehe, I agree. The plint of a Bauer combined with a subplatter of a LP12, a platter of a Dr Feikert and a conterweight and armbearing of a Brinkmann, and, and, and…

Really strange. Almost like one of the early chinese recepies for just 2500 bugs

Takumi is a brand from Netherlands.

That looks very expensive .

ProJect like Naim sometimes like to push boundaries from what people expect

That is true and for that reason it surprises me even more.

But for that price it will find a lot of buyers, I guess!?

Seems like limited additions is a new marketing scheme. Even Pink Floyd are in a win win situation.
What will they ever think of next🙄

I’m not sure whether this has been confirmed for production yet. I guess a case of if enough people want it then they will build it? I think it’s rather fun, and for any DSOTM fanatic, probably something of a “must have” item.

It looks like a piece of crap to me. Simply horrible.

Still a 20k amp (not that price necessarily means anything)





Nr 9. Part 1 Nordost

First song from London Grammer - sounds polite but missing a bit the earthy feeling which belongs to it. They use interesting feet to have the devices decoupled from the rack.

I find this frankly bizarre, if you are going to argue cables make a difference, should you then use speakers and electronics few people are likely to be familiar with? How will anyone be able to judge anything?

I’d say, if anything, they gave Orion free, or at least cheap, exposure on the show.





Nr. 9 Part 2 Nordost

Angelique Kidjo, very precise but also very clinical sounding.
Solange, again overall good sound but I am missing something in how the music is brought accross.

You are doing a fantastic job, Bert, just as you always do. Do you get a feeling that a lot of this gear, despite being by different manufacturers, sort of looks the same, in in over the top maximum bling sort of way?

This system had a nice warm and airy sound. They played the attached songs.

Nr. 11 Part 1 - Techdas….

The specific longplayer (Air Force) I have seen at more stands…., must be quite a thing as it was marketed quite a bit a the show. Quite a set up with good dynamics, tonality and accuracy.
