    The best audio system on earth?

    A little side note regarding this system before things really start to...oh, they have...about 9 pages ago... ...anyway, what really stood out to me with this system, that until this point never really truly has for me, is the way in which the sound felt completely unaffected by the system. It...

    The best audio system on earth?

    Very true. But certainly not for me. The main thought I have had since hearing it, is that the challenge for audio going forwards, is to try and replicate that quality of reproduction, but on a terrestrial budget.

    The best audio system on earth?

    Definitely the only frustration I had about the room. The exhibitors kept a very tight grip on music selections! The only time I heard someone actually manage to persuade them to play a member of the public's choice, it was a classical piece, the Danse Macabre by Saint-Saëns. A fine recording...

    The best audio system on earth?

    I have no doubt the mind plays tricks. With the only issue here being that no-one listening to the Boyer Room system at the weekend (other than the representatives demonstrating the system themselves), actually owned it. More to the point, 99.9% of the people that heard it, have no chance of...

    The best audio system on earth?

    I believe the £1m system was the one in the Audio Group Denmark room. Lots of numbers flying around, but I don't think the Boyer system was a million squids-worth. Closer to half I believe. But who's counting. What was interesting though, was the percentage of the budget used for each...

    The best audio system on earth?

    Funny you say that, the 'House of Linn' system sounded pretty good to me. ...but they were using ATC speakers 😆 (a bit of a sorry indictment of Linn speakers it has to be said)

    The best audio system on earth?

    Not sure if you read my post: So, I'm pretty sure we agree. But if anyone at Boyer Audio is reading this and wants to let me borrow the system for a few weeks to check on each component's influence on the sound, I'd be happy to oblige and report back :)

    The best audio system on earth?

    A bold claim perhaps, but I think there are plenty of people that attended the Audio Show Deluxe over the weekend that can attest to the Boyer Room surely being the pinnacle of audio reproduction in 2024. This wasn't about 'flavour' or 'personal preference', just the ultimate in realistic and...

    Audio Deluxe show march 23/24th

    Hear hear to the Boyer Room. The absolute pinnacle of audio reproduction. We often talk about hifi being personal preference, but I can't imagine anyone not sensing that this was as good (and enjoyable) as it gets. The sound from that system transcended subjective descriptions. It was simply...

    Folk/Acoustic

    Think this was mentioned briefly earlier, but well worth a listen. New album from Sam Lee - 'Song Dreaming'. It's pretty epic stuff at times, possibly even a bit much on occasion, but Track 3 'McCrimmon' is a beaut and showcases what a stunning voice he has. Not many vocals around with such a...

    Silver Foil Speaker Cables anyone?

    Yes, I did come across those in my foil research. They look great. But at around £1300 a pair of 1.8m cables, that's starting to take the cable thing beyond 'sensible' for me. Would be interested to hear them though.

    Silver Foil Speaker Cables anyone?

    Although the question was about silver foil, not copper?

    Silver Foil Speaker Cables anyone?

    There is a suggestion that some amplifiers that don't like high capacitance and so could 'in theory' be an issue when using foils. But it is a a non-issue with my zero feedback valve amps and relatively short cable runs. I also run the positive and negative cables in completely separate cotton...

    Silver Foil Speaker Cables anyone?

    Wow, just had a look at Isolda cables. Is that the ones made by Townshend? £700 for a 2m pair. The mundorf copper foil kit I'm using from hifi collective was about £70 for the same length!
