Wonderful atmosphere and lovely staff.
When I say 'high-end' I mean HIGH-END! This is a stop up from your Bang and Olufsen.
The demo and services provided are of the highest quality. I can highly recommend this store to any one who are serious into music system.
I walked in curious and walked out buying a turntable. They treat their products like art work.
Now the SR-15, which was the purchase...
excuse the earwax, now a brief context, I've never used a DAC of any sort before, with the exception of the DAC that comes with the 2013 MacBook Pro. First listening experience was a bit strange, I immediately preferred the DAC on the my mac, and regretted my purchase, after being bummed out for a few minutes, I started listening to it more and more, and realised it was different...
Everything was tight and precise, the vocals, the treble, the bass, everything! I've never quite experienced such precision to music before, after 6 hours of listening, all different genres and artists, I realised how much of a little but HUGE difference it made to the music. In comparison to my mac, the SR15 just blew me away with what it can do to just a simple FLAC file.
Now, the elephant in the room, yes I know, the weird, off-geometric screen... At first when I saw the product online, I immediately searched frantically for the AK70 MKii, as I hated it. But slowly and gradually I somewhat have come to like the weird placement of this screen. It's quirky and different and surprisingly intuitive once in your palms, which is also reflected in the artist that's shown above in the picture. Now I will be needing a case for this, just a pain to shell out even more cash at this point...
Absolutely thrilled to bits with my new speakers.
