Greetings, Art,

What a sensational system and room that enchanted me this evening! Beguiling vocals rendered by Rickie Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell, and Natalie Merchant....ethereal production values evident on Donald Fagen's, The Nightfly...

The soundstage, vast, and imaging, a producer's delight, and all without the benfit of reel tape!:-)

The ability to switch between crossover networks that feature identical circuits and different brand parts was instructive and revealing. It's terrific that you can exercise such an option.

Finally, the projected color light starfield, upon the VAC amps, engaged in their stellar choreography was only eclipsed by the celestial Texas evening sky.

Thank you, Art, for your gracious hospitality and the opportunity to revel in a marvelous expression of your passion.

Very best regards,
Sam

Art,

Really...a starfield?! :-) Cool.

Vbr,
Sam

Thanks so much Srwooten, I'm really pleased overall with how it's coming along. Installing a laser starfield light show this weekend, then I think I'll rest for awhile and just enjoy...

arthursmuck March 26, 2010 18:17

Me, too, Art - it's gonna be a great time! :-)

Vbr,
Sam

WOW! Beautiful room! Stunning!

srwooten March 26, 2010 06:05

Looking forward to it Sam!

arthursmuck March 26, 2010 01:06

Maineiac - thanks for your kind words. Your system is looking pretty sweet as well. I've always wanted to hear the Silverbacks but have never gotten the opportunity, I'm betting they're pretty incredible.

Arthur,

Hooray! My flight from San Diego arrives in Dallas/Love Field, Wed., 3/31 and departs Sun., 4/1...I have reservations at the Best Western Cityplace Inn and look forward to greeting you, personally :-)

Thanks for the invitaiton!

-Sam

Art, fantastic system you've got there! Absolutely stunning.

maineiac March 24, 2010 01:03

Great to hear from you Jim! Loved the pics of your DAC mods....Albert and Sam are targeting coming out weekend after this, you are more than welcome to join in the fun...maybe drag Ken along as well! :-)

Hey Art,
The great music and overall "vibe?" of your room still lingers in my mind. Even 6 or so weeks later. And it has made me get off my lazy duff and start aggressively pushing the limits of my own room and system. I've been too complacent too long. And things have improved. Thank you for that. And thanks again for such an ear opening experience! jim...

Great rooms, work and ideas on the hdacoustics website. I made my wife sit and scroll through the pages. Besides Art's, she liked what was done in many others. Like Ben Corn's "the barn". Thanks for the link. jim...

System edited: Changed to PAD Proteus Provectus SC's. What an incredible cable...

arthursmuck March 21, 2010 21:17

I agree Jeff, updated system to reflect as much.

arthursmuck February 26, 2010 03:38

Thank you Sir...maybe the term we're looking for is
Acoustical Rennovation! Sounds like a proper description of this effort to me.

System edited: Thanks Jeff, added the case study to my system profile!

arthursmuck February 22, 2010 18:50

Hey Art,

Here is a link to a detailed case study of our efforts creating your new room: http://hdacoustics.net/er-u-di-tion.html

I thought your friends would enjoy!

Thanks for your willingness to push the bar forward! Not possible without you.

jhedback February 18, 2010 15:15

Thnaks Bigpapa! Be sure and do the polyfill in the cabinets and sonicap platinum bypasses to your networks. You might also talk to Hugh about the custom bases he's going to be making as well....enjoy!

arthursmuck February 14, 2010 20:44

Awesome system Art, I am getting LS6-6's soon!

bigpapa February 13, 2010 14:02

Joe - I'll ping you offline...

Steve - we made it even better! Let me know next time you'll be out our way and we can get together.

Art

arthursmuck February 12, 2010 15:30

Hey Art, the new room is really looking good. But I thought your setup was sounding great when I was down there with Danny last year. I hope to hear it again with the new room.

Steve

Art,
I still am using VAC phi 110/110 with my ren sig pre. I do love my sasha's now the room is finished. Getting Critical Mass QXK racks next week. The 300.1 's are next on the list. I'm sure my wife won't notice any change's....haha.
Just noticing your chair. Is that the Ekornes recliner. I just put three of those in my room.
Continued enjoyment. You have a beautiful retreat. Let me know if you are thinking about the 440's. I may be ready for your amps. Maybe Kevin can arrange something with his dealer.
Joe

jgdalton February 10, 2010 22:44

Hi Joe, great to hear your room came out so well! I couldn't agree more about working with Jeff. How about a Virtual System and some pictures??? Come on buddy! :-)

Did you end up with VAC amps? Yes, I am trying to figure out how to swing the 440's....and stay married....

arthursmuck February 10, 2010 03:25

Thanks Skushino, I really like your listening space and system also, I bet that just sounds wonderful!
