Did you play the Uchida piano recording via the Virtu system? Field coil drivers deliver unprecedented microdynamics with ease and a rich texture to die for. That was my experience with just one mid range antique field coil driver. But what you have is a complete array of original field coil drivers made nowadays by people that who know the stuff well.
In comparison, compression driver has the details and the speed but not the ease.
Raymond, you are so knowledgeable about these stuff. I m not hurry to test by my record yet, I enjoy to listen and learn how their way to listen music and fune tune the sound.
Everything Peter of Da Vinci learns in the past 30 years both from his study of western electric philosophy and preamp building experience goes to this "Grandezza Reference mono preamp". Peter told us that it will be very crazy.
It is a stand alone preamp that will work with other brands of amplifier. It seems al masterpieces preamp that are currently under development now is a 3-chassis design.
last night, Peter and Jolanda came fine tune and check everythings function well. when it done, we spin a music, then there are not thing else about HiFi, but music only. 我初次體驗到何為滿室樂韻悠揚!!!
And please drop a few word about what you heard from the Virtu. i still cannot find word to discribe since this morning, i need some time to recovery from the other world.(This is same as i can't use audio factor's wording to discribe a live concert what i just heard.)
With a complete DV system driving the Virtu, there is only music. You will forget everything about frequency extension, soundstage and dynamic etc. It is because you will feel all the music is right in front of you without any hype. It is just a wholesome picture experience with the inner color of all instruction objects exposing to you in the most natural way possible. This is not a system for the usual Hi Fi seeker - pure music. The purity resembles a true concert hall experience. Layers and layers of tonal color peels off one after another to the deepest content possible. The artistic theme of the music is fully presented.
The AAS Gabriel is the turntable that plays music as Raymond said. The calmness of music it presents represents another two to three notches above the Unison. This is more a feeling that is hard to describe. Not because of more details, not because of a larger soundfield, not becasee of more dynamic - it is the musical calmness that is worthy of the hefty price tag.
Then Peter listened to the Orpheus cartridge by Transfiguration with the DV arm going into the phono section of the Tron Syren. Peter is quite impressed with the Shilabe except the high frequency range where he feels there could be more details. But it is a very musical cartridge. For the price, it is unbeatable.
We moved on to do something exotics. We mounted the USD10,000 Dynavector flagship XV1-t on the Grandezza arm feeding the phono of Tron syren. Peter is impressed. The dyna flagship is very good. The delivery of musicality is similar to the latest Grand Reference Grandezza (only Mr.DV has it now in HK)
