Rockport Sirius III & Micro Seiki 8000 comparison

Alan,

OT -- you might consider storing your TP tapes upright ;-)

Vbr,
Sam

Fantastic pics you're taking! What camera and lens?

I am sure the sound beats the pics to! Thanks so much for posting your journey here.

Sam, you got a sharp eye - agree!
what about the books :-)

Greetings, Sam and Eckhart:

A quick post since there has been very, very little sleep these past few days and it is now time.

Regarding the horizontal positioning of the TP tapes...Sam, it was quite observant of you to notice the symbolic horizontal placement that I made of TP tapes behind the TT project during Daniel's and Syntax's kind visit with me for these last few days here in Texas. I was very hopeful that the magic and complete file that they brought with them regarding the exacting positive modifications to the Micro Seiki TT performance would maybe make the Tape excursion somewhat redundant...;-)...the final results will be noted in mid-to-late December after the next installation; however, I remain excited with the possibilities...so, the TP tapes are, for now, back standing at attention waiting their fate.

Regarding the books ;-), I found, in general, that I have enjoyed the time that I have spent with books more than the time that I have spent with CDs. Hence, books along the wall instead of CDs...;-)...

I now have to answer my fellow Texan's question regarding the wonderful pictures before I go to sleep. Syntax made the magic happen with the pictures and I am very grateful for his taking the time to document what was happening here and recording some of the results; Thank you Thomas!!!!!!!!!!

Very happy listening!

Alan

Unoear, Very nice system. Can that little Lamm amplifier (but not Mary's) really drive those Wilsons adequately? (I see that the Alexandras are rated 94db efficiency, which is good, but nominal impedance is ca 4 ohms, which is bad, as far as the Lamm amps are concerned.)
