I think that there is a significal difference betwen the two systems presended here.
The one opp showed seemed like somone that just had to much money and whent out and bourgt all the most expensiv hifi he could find and stuff it all in one room. I know a couple of guys in the tact comunity that have visited jean yeves system in france , the say that with fast rock pop music it sounds strange , but put on some classic stuff and you will piss your pants. The system dosnet have enything to do with just enjoying listning to music , its goal is to come as close to the real thing as possible and in yeans case that is a classiv music concert. Jean yves system is different, jean yves he has been building and optimzing this system for many years, Its a continuasly evolution and everytime there is somthing that could be done better being amps, speakre drivers it gets replaced, infact he replaced his former14 cary triod tube amps with modded tcat 2150 amps. He is now the importer of tact audio , shunyata, and goto, for france . He have several of people working on his system , all the tact amps are higly moddified, and have wordclock inputs. He uses two higely moddified tact 2.2 xps as digital crossovers for the goto drivers, and ale horn system And it demands serious skills setting it up. If you read in the inteview he explains that the next thing in his sytem will be a computer based fronend instead of the esoteric/dcs he had before, thats was in 2003, -- harmonic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harmonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46270 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
