However, great - thanks for sharing...

I do hope that FM's see this and get 'inspired' & decide to make a move in this direction....

Wow!!!!!! what room, what treatment and what equipment........This is what can be really called mind blowing

It is quite spooky that I accidentally stumbled on this site yesterday and quite amazed the way it is done. Simply amazing!

With two Cobra tonearms, this room can't be bad!

And the Ypsilon phono stage!!

The surprise here is that he is not using the Castellon mount for the Caliburn turntable.

Question: is the dCS Vivaldi below or above the Scarlatti?

dCS Vivaldi is SOTA !
Nothing is supposed to be better;
However, I have not heard it as yet.
Got launched @ HK Show in August...

p.s. The Only 'weak' link imho is the RACK. He [reviewer] will get a new one [soon] !!

Bhagwan, he uses Minus K platforms. Its pretty much the ultimate. The Minus K stuff is normally kept on normal wooden racks. Not too many audiophiles use Minus K because they primarily make isolation stuff for electron microscopes and the like and not many people have heard of them. They provide isolation upto 0.5 hz

Yes;
Someone in Bandra has it under his Kuzma TT

Top Line;
Vibration Isolation Tables | Anti Vibration Table Technology | WS-4
However, I was never its fan - the Platform i.e.
The Stabi Table I like a lot;;
He also has the EMM Labs XDS-1 CD Player [also on one of these stands / racks] !!
