It's true, Albert has full Romeo approval....as long as Albert pets him until Romey is ready to stop! :-)

Response34,

Art's cat is Romeo, the Napoleon breed of cat. That cat owns AT&T and Art works for him.

If you're nice, Napoleon will run over to you, flop on his side and beg for pets. After that you are free to listen to Arts system.

I'm in like Flint over there, cat gave me full approval.

System is looking great! Really wish I was closer to be able to stop by for a listen. Wait a minute, im allergic to cats.
How does a cat get to have a system like that anyway? What does his do for a living?

Hi Albert, they are breaking in on schedule and sounding fabulous! Napolean cat will be hosting a GTG sometime soon so you can hear his new speakers.... :-)

Art,

Are the new speakers breaking in, sounding like you expected?

System edited: Added Mach2 modified Mac Mini. Running through the Wavelink and using the Anagram digital processor in the Vitus. The PI Audio BatteryBuss keeps it all off the grid and sounding fantastic...

Hahaha,

You got a deal, Art! ;-)

Well Sam, think of it this way...I gave up on analog, so maybe we can help each other get our heads around different mediums...we can't all be masters of all mediums like our pal Albert! :-)

Nice...gee, I guess I'm going to be the last one to adopt this music server thing! Alas, I'm still trying to get my head around analog - LOL :-)

Sam, I am adding a Mach2 player like Albert is, but I am going battery powered on mine. It will feed the DAC in the Vitus. No other changes planned for now.......for now.... :-)

He brought his pre and amps to my place when we installed the WAS-2 and the collective system sounded fantastic.

I can believe it, Art! Are your speakers the sole component you swapped out or any change(s) upstream?

Vbr,
Sam

Thanks Sam, Peter is a terrific designer/builder and an all around good guy as well. He brought his pre and amps to my place when we installed the WAS-2 and the collective system sounded fantastic. Glad to hear you guys had a good event!

Art,

Just returned from a San Diego Music and Audio Guild event at PBN Audio, which featured the Pennywise speaker and PBN electonics...very nice sounding :-)

The system/room allowed the listeners to get a feel for the very agile nature of this loudspeaker.

Congrats!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I'll get some better pics and post more as I get more hours in...

Art, the latest incarnation of the room is, as usual, inspirational and beautiful. Congrats on the Montanas!!

Just ordered my silkworm plus ICs to connect my vac pre to vac amp.

Beautiful speaker and the veneer looks wonderful, would be my pick too...

To clarify what speakers I "speak" of. I love the look of those huge Montana PBN speakers. Also really liked two different, smaller versions I've heard at times earlier this year. jim...

Love the photos of your other speakers! And loved the sound too! jim...

Art,

When's the party so I can come hear the new speakers, or are you going to break them in first?

albertporter

Hello Art

Thanks for your hospitality. You have a great sunding system, your room is among the very best I have heard. Enjoy your new Montana WAS2 loudspeakers.

Hey Art,

I saw Albert at THE Show in Cali. I asked about you and he mentioned you were changing speakers...WOW -I thought- your system sounded dynamite to me when I had the pleasure!

Let us know how the sound develops...btw, PBN is about 1/2 hour away from me. I haven't been by there, though.

Best,
Sam

Art-

Wow, they're gorgeous! Knowing what is inside them, I'm sure they sound even better than they look and will only get better. Congratulations!!

System edited: Added PBN Montana WAS-2 Speakers, more to come as they break in further...

arthursmuck

Art,

We'll be listening until late, hope you make it. I think the Stillpoints stand will be in the photo studio rather than in the system when you arrive. We had it in the system last week and will put in again soon.
