Thanks!  My daughter just loves the music room so much, she will NEVER leave that chair once she is in there! LoL!

 

The Bird 2 are really a dream to listen to...so much so, I cannot believe that this kind of sound if taking place in my room.  The electronics and speakers are just a match made in heaven and I am so happy I was able to find it.

 

Today, there was a meet of the LA Orange County Audiophile society at Weinhart Design in Bel Air (Very high end audio).  We listened to a stupendously priced setup.  Let me dig up some pictures I took from my phone (only the first two pictures are the ones I took myself):

 

The $150,000 Clearaudio Statement Turntable with the Clearaudio Goldfinger V2 cartridge ($15,000)

 

Tunes were playing through the $185,000 Magico Q7 loudspeakers:

 

Preamp is the $13,000 EAR 912.  

 

 

Amplifiers were the Top of the line 1000 watt Bryston 28B-SST2 at $20,000 for the pair.

 

Point of this post is....this system just DID NOT sound right!  The sound was thin, lacking body, lacking realism, lacking truthfulness.  It was extremely dynamic, but nowhere close what sound for this price should be like.

 

The sound in my room at this very moment is in a different strata compared to this stuff I heard today.  My setup is much more humble compared to the above and many many many times more musical.  Point being, it is very easy to screw up and spending more doesn't mean better automatically.  You HAVE to work at it no matter what...

 

Thanks for reading!

Did somebody just want to show off how much they can spend?...  That's freaking ridiculous!

Looks like a toy but I guess the question is, how does it perform? 

You expect orders to ship same day and arrive the next? What kind of world are you living in? HT takes a day or two to process then a few days ship time. Hold your horses.

The amazon or even the ebay world I guess, It was shipped and arrives tomorrow so I guess that answers my question.

Wow, your drunk if you can't read your own topic! But then again I was drunk.

I purchased the colored A7X Nightmare 2xLP and have been charged thus figuring with any other store it's in stock and will ship later today as I ordered it at 1AM Central standard time USA.  I joined placed the order around midnight received an email stating they got the order (checked my bank and was charged) and assume it ships today and arrives sometime tomorrow. hope it aint fedex otherwise I won't be home but will be for ups.

I guess I'm just used to amazon, and was not willing to pay $200 for the blood red vinyl limited edition and from what I read on the a7x hot topic.. topic that these are also limited at 600. the red vinyl was limited at 2000.  So are these from hopeless?  Which then these would come from the same lacquer master disk? But are these 180G? or standard?  Hail to the king was pretty thin but so was Metallica's black album (original pressing) from the UK but Master of Puppets from Music of Nations label is pretty heavy... 

Guess the question is, is hot topic a slow shipper?

What is the quality on these? Are these 180G?  I'm doing overnight and kinda want it when my vintage d4 discwasher arrives, cleaning it regardless as I never play a record unless it's clean and even new records vacummed sealed are not clean because they ship them in those fugly white paper sleeves.. they need to stop that!  I bought 50 sleeves from Mobile Fidelity which are sweet, not plastic but the clear anti static sleeves.
