after many years of pissing about with ok gear ,i have finally got a system that suit my taste
the speed ,impact ,dynamic contrast of this combo is really something ,
i have since stopped evaluating gear alltogheter
listening to colin walcott "cloud dance" the other night made me think of a late friend of mine and his fondness of this ECM milestone , i am now enjoying music so much it hurts
tam you should have never left us without listening to this combo
Just escaped from the studio. So may have to do it tomorrow.
That Brian Eno record is stunning. Its beautifully recorded to. Some extra ordinary bass on it too. A very rare recording. I have another one too. Lets listen tomorrow. My VD cables should arrive too...
oh those amps were very heavy and not a joy to carry up stairs. Audiophile fools...
While I am sure there are other amps starting to catch the performance of the original Halcros, the halcro DM series are the finest amps I have ever heard.
While I can understand why some people stay with valves, I do feel a little sorry for them, as they will never know what their hifi is ultimately capable of.
Lamms, audio note, wavac and so on all sound great in certain areas but not completely in all areas especially in the bass and speed/dynamics departments and noise floor.
The original Halcro amps when they came out were light years ahead of anything else, they could make your speakers sound utterly balanced and coherent.
Now Halcro have pushed the performance even further in the DM 88 etc which must add insult to injury to other manufacturers. Apart from Mr Candy surely someone else must have a good design, oh and a bit cheaper please?
Halcro...Ahhhhhh! But why no picture of the new CD player? As good as the Audio Aero was we have both moved on. I left a post with a quad lover who said the word dynamic. I think he should hear your horns! The quad will sound like wet cardboard in comparison not to mention the bass. All kneel before the Halcro. See you soon.
