In_shore, thank you for the kind comment.
Well - in any case Unoear lives up to the best you've heard about texan hospitality.
Syntax and myself had a few great days as his guests and the audition and talking as well as the fine food and wine left nothing to desire.
Unoear is the most relaxed audiophile I have ever meet - this in the most positive sense of the word.
I will be back with Unoear in a few weeks and we'll see how the shoot-out develops.... ;-) ....
Rest assured that we'll come up with a great final(? - rather preliminary...) report before xmas.
Cheers,
D.
Ah yes - Unoear still has both ears and a well working audiophile brain in between ... so he has survived any Saloon fights with flying colors and no damage.
Hello Raul,

Yes, the Air Force One looks interesting, maybe even a little like the big brother to the NVS. I will be interested to hear Thuchan's inpressions when he gets a chance to give the Air Force One a listen.

As for the Wave Kinetics NVS, it appears from the inside track, that it may have lost its bearings...
Hello Lewm,

I do like your system; nice synergistic setup, congratulations!

Regarding your 458 Italia...Rosso Corsa?
Hi Thuchan,

Regarding my singing abilities, remember that I will only be fulfilling your direct request ;-)

Hello Lewm and Kostas_1, the comparison is in a process orientation and hopefully we will have more to report regarding our observations in a few weeks. In the meantime, please view the pictures that Syntax has been able to provide showing some of the process of building up the Micro Seiki TTs. Dertonarm's modifications are the real thing!

A friendly fellow has offered to make his personal Olympos SL available so we can have two of the Lyra cartridges available during the comparison, thank you for your kind offer Dlanselm.

More to come on the comparison later.

Very happy listening!
