I have purchased the Vertere. Would any of you like to subscribe to my Onlyfans?

This could have easily been recorded in 1967 rather than 2020 but it's still bloody marvellous.

Pretentious? Moi?

Hayden Thorpe; Diviner. I'm enjoying his new album too but this is sumptuous.

"Hi, I want to vibrate my entire house please..."

I’m good thanks. Absence has largely been down to being busy and taking advantage of not being sealed in my house rather than anything being amiss. Hope all’s well your end too.

This (regrettably) isn't mine but it's here for a bit. This magnificent object is a Vertere MG-1 and I’ve exercised a longstanding agreement with a website I review for which is a sort of ‘Christmas Joker’ whereupon, each reviewer gets to pull in something to test because they fancy a go on...

There's no point being coy about this. At it sits, this one is £14,825. I wholeheartedly recommend not listening to it because I have and I'm currently googling 'Living on onions=scurvy?'

It's a Vertere MG-1 and I'll do a post on it in the hardware section later. Allowing it into the house for review might yet be a colossal error of judgement because I already don't want to give it back.

Long time, no see.

There are new Nagaokas due soon- the first in a very long time. They accidentally announced it during a Technics online briefing last year- the 'Technics' cart fitted to the special edition SL1210GLE is the prototype. Meanwhile, this big orange chap arrived this morning; it's a Vertere Sabre.

So, as I understand the parlance of the moment to be, I did a thing. I did say earlier in this thread that I wanted a Van den Hul Frog and, it being the end of the financial year for me in under a fortnight, I enquired after one. To cut a long story short, even at trade it's rather spendy...

I've spent over a month with the Focal Clear MG before it was announced yesterday. Looks should not be the be all and end all of anything you buy but... The review is HERE if you're interested. Spoiler- It's a bit good.

This is going to come across as a bit weird since I have a dedicated upsampler* in the system... but I don't really find the results of upsampling from Roon to be worth doing. First up, DSD upsampling is largely pointless. Unless you have an AKM based DAC or one of the Marantz players with the...

SOtM is a Korean company that makes network audio products. I use the little one (SMS-200 Neo) because it means that I don't need a direct connection between the Roon Core and the Chords. There are a few companies that do some impressively bespoke things with digital other than Chord; as well...

Today, I have been a long way into the dark side. Palpatine levels of dark side. Generally, I find that the SOtM/Mscaler/TT2 that resides here to be perfectly sufficient for digital, and by 'perfectly sufficient' I mean glorious overkill. The dCS Bartok is the cheapest DAC that dCS makes...

Well then, look what my long suffering DPD courier dropped off yesterday; It's a Studiodeck and it's mainly here to be tested as part of a system but it's getting a solo look for AVForums first. It's an interesting bit of kit. I'll start with the bits I like; This is an impressive bit of...

You can send DSD through a Jitterbug.

Only that your iPhone doesn't do Apt-X Bluetooth so you need to check that whatever you choose is compatible with AAC Bluetooth for better performance.

Just do what I did, get absolutely shit faced one evening and wake up to a Discogs notification that you've bought a copy. The UK first pressing is so thin you can you read through it. I completely agree with the sentiment though. We're not fundamentalists and ultimately a system equipped to...
