Is Wells bringing their integrated or are you gong without pre? I assume you are using your server into La(m)pi Dac.What speaker lineup? No AVA?EDIT: I see your are using the Big 7 volume control. What power amp?
We may even bring a prototype of a potential new model (although that has not been decided yet).- Jim
Hmm, now I'm second guessing not taking a drive down for at least one day. I was going to pass since I'm already booked for RMAF, but a chance to see Jim and possibly a new idea of his is always worth considering.
The Exoticas really wowed me this year. I made Jim upload a DSD file (DFF 64) of The Girl from Ipanema that I brought and play it on the Big Lampi7 on Sunday. I couldn't believe the whole weekend went without anybody wanting to listen to the DSD capability of the Big 7 DAC. It really was just exquisite -- Astrud sounded so innocent and vulnerable, João exuded smoothness and Getz was "the Sound." I felt like I was the bell that resonated and amplified the notes from the vibrating reed on Getz' tenor sax. For a moment, I was the sax. I felt the tingles on my skin. It was so visceral and palpable. Kudos to Exoticas, Wells amp, Lampizator, wires and stands that got me there.
Awesome woodsyi. I wish I could of heard it in the big room we had at CapFest. We did have a VERY similar system in Newport Cali show, and the sound was captivating and dynamic. Curiously what version of "THe Girl From Ipanema" are you talking about?
Jim / Mary,Had a lot of fun in your room...pretty damn great.....and it was really nice to hang out with you guys again.....Klaus
I couldn't make the show, but most of that rig is in my living room. The only difference are my amps and preamp... What tubes were used in the Big 7?
Jim and Mary, Just a great sounding room, I also think your best yet at CAF. Look for my report soon at EnjoyTheMusic.com.
