Had an excellent session at Joe's place with Gary in short attendance, fine wine from both Joe and Gary with excellent Pizza from Nanna's. My first Square pizza.
Joe's setup despite the small room is quite amazing. The Spectron amp, pre, DAC, Phono pre, speakers all contribute nicely. The Speakers I have to say are the most amazing. Evoluation Acoustic MMMicroOne was shaking the room with its dual ceramic 4" woofers. It has the detail, opening, no distortion (to speak of) and no breakup at high levels of bass. Picture the Chinese drums that kept Lola (the dog) quiet.
Listening to the Cello's with the bow whispering across the strings was sufficient for us to finish 2 bottles of wine I think - I just don't remember it all but I do know the amp, pre (Supratek), CD (Marantz) and the EV MMicroOne is very hard to beat.
Thanks joe, that was excellent and all at short notice.
