Have watched a few reviews of the Galion incl. those by Harvey and Ron.. Looing forward to one day hearing it first hand, but congrats as feedback generally very positive, and it looks great!
Not sure if interested in your amp ,,,but if you produce tube pre with 3 balanced inputs with no noise floor ,,, im in, maybe with gain switch too under 5000 😮
Thomas I really enjoyed this video and story telling. It was great meeting you at Axpona!
I always enjoy your audio insights and your dry humor. Thanks Thomas.
Congrats on how well your amp is received BTW. You have a winner.
Thanks, glad you get my humor.
Great report. Looks like the TS120 got some excellent exposure.
Congrats on the positive reaction to your amp.
Thanks Thomas, one of the better videos covering Axpona for those of us who couldn't attend ...
LOVED them. Heard them late on Friday .. and it was tremendously huge sound.
The Tyhon** ... CSS.
For those of us that don't have a chance to visit these shows, this was a very good format.
Glad you enjoyed it.
@@ThomasAndStereo Very Interesting and very well done. Thank you. I'll try to make the show next year.
That was a tumultuous amount of information. As audio files, we are always searching, learning, considering and dreaming. The truth is that on the journey, you will never find the end of the road.
It is and endless culmination of discovery.
Thanks Thomas.
Thank you Thomas, if only one could afford, at least dreaming is free. Of course the true star is your better half who let's you indulge in your hobby.
Thanks for taking us along Thomas! Really enjoyed watching.
23:54......Canton baby!!! That's cool that you gave them a listen since you had the reference 3.2. Here is what's so surprising to me. I own their Vento 890.2's and my friend has the 3.2's like you had. We each think the Tweeter sounds fabulous. Lots of detail yet smooth and not bright. Then you just said in this video that lots of your listeners feel that the Canton Tweeter is super bright. Then my buddy Eric listened to the reference 9.2 bookshelf speakers that I have in storage. He thinks the Tweeter is dull. From what I see online the consensus is the Canton ceramic Tweeter is very special. Lol! I'm just going to sum it up with everyone has their own particular flavor of sound that they enjoy. What was your opinion on the tweeter of the Canton 3.2's you used to own? Do you regret selling them at all?
Thanks for covering the show Thomas! I was there 2 days and didn't make it to half of these rooms.
It was my first show and I have to give a lot of credit to reviewers like yourself who can explain the nuances of these systems. In most rooms it felt tough to get more than a general impression and often that impression was "do you think bass is all I care about?"
I commented on Jay's video but the Galion was a great pairing for the Typhons. Maybe it had a little less authority than the Norma, but it made up for it with refinement in the treble and it felt like it wouldn't give me listening fatigue whereas I wasn't so sure with the solid state amp. Great work!
Thanks a lot, appreciate the feedback on the Galion.
Great coverage, Thomas. Wish I could have been there.
Nicely done Thomas…..it was a great show and soooooo much to see and hear. Appreciate your opening comments. Where else can you hear a million dollar system! It was incredible on all genres of music. The secret is to find the pearls. Noted you found a few. Keep ‘em coming. Thanks
Nice walk through Thomas, yeah its such a massive show, would be nice to visit some time . Thank you for a brief tour , see you around ✌️
We should go exhibit together next year!
@@ThomasAndStereo something to think about 🤔
Wow, might max out my memory cards if i ever go there haha
Great tour Sir 👍
You will! I filmed the whole thing with my cell phone.
When people look away from the camera it means they are being deceptive. Hahahaha, it's true but I am just messing. I really enjoyed the Typhon I was surprised how good it was as well. Unfortunately, I did not get to hear your amp and I went into that room three times over the three days just to make sure I wasn't tripping the first or second time I heard it.
Edit: For the Dynaudio room with the C50. That to me was the most outstanding price to performance room. Those speakers were outstanding.
Yeah, I would love to try the C50. Next time you should tell them, I came to listen to the Galion, put it on! Truth is, it is about the same as the Norma amp, bass is just not as tight but more airy and wider soundstage.
Great video Thomas! Would love to have been there! Also looking forward to the TS120 when it comes in - hopefully next week. Exciting times :)
😊😊😊
Thank you Thomas! I have never been to a big show, neat coverage.
I was there, met you, and enjoyed meeting you in person! I actually did an interview with you regarding the Typhon speakers (which are excellent). I mentioned to you that the Kimber room (room 1118) was doing a speaker cable comparison A/B - which my friend and I both found startling. We have performed our own speaker cable AB tests at home and were able to tell a difference, but with the down time between turning off the amp, swapping the cables, getting everything back on, volume matched, etc. the difference was noticeable but subtle. We actually spent quite a while talking to the guy from Zu audio regarding the setup. I ran into you again the next day and mentioned the room again. Did you stop by it? I feel like this room should be getting a lot more attention than it got. I am absolutely not affiliated with Kimber in any way, don't own any Kimber cables and in fact, don't care about the specific cables at all. What I thought was amazing is how easy it was to discern a very distinct difference between the cables in that room - even in the, frankly terrible, listening environment.
No, I did not, not enough time sadly and yes, I remember you telling me about it.
Shoot, that's too bad, it was really quite something. Hopefully they do it again at a future show. It was great meeting you and keep up the good work!
Great episode! The ending was excellent!
Yes!
The Scaena lines, in the ideal room; it's size, symmetrical layout, and pure simplicity ... facilitates that fully dimensional, deep, wide sounstage.
Also the TAD system, twenty five year old platform, still demos today as a standout performer.
Thanks for your report from the show, Thomas. I like it very much when audio youtuber share their experiences and impressions, and when I see films of several colleagues then always more a whole picture emerges. I was not there, live in Germany and will visit the Munich show.
One thing I found a bit unfortunate. I know you like Klipsch Heritage Speakers from one of your videos, I think it was about a LaScala back then. Also I really agree to how you describe the Khorn sound at the show. So I had so much anticipation about what you would have told about the new Heritage Jubilee, especially since I have an Underground Jubilee (now Roy Delgado's official name for it) since 15 years with K402 and TAD 4002 drivers. I haven't heard the new Heritage Jubilee yet but I would have been very interested in your always very eloquent description of sounds. Thank you very much.
BTW please keep up show impressions, I really like how you capture it.
Thanks a lot.
Thomas we must all remember that all those big companies started just like this- small..your self and css should keep up innovating and god willing you will become great
Thanks for a very nice video, Thomas. Like your sense of humor
Excellent work!
Nice, Thomas! Excellent coverage. I feel bad I live 30 minutes away but couldn’t make it out. Come back next year with new Galion toys? 🤞
Thanks for that Video. A real big Show 👍
I think the Sound came from the GAIA feets 😂 Kidding.
Yes, I like that kind of videos
@ThomasAndStereo great coverage on the show. I have the pleasure of living right down the road from The Audio Experience in Palatine IL. They actually own the Estelon Extreme MK II. I was there listening today and it sounds even better than at the show.
They are also a great shop and I have purchased my last 4 speakers from them. I cordially invite you to come over next time you are in the chicago area. I would love to get your impression of my system. I am at my endgame with no intent of going any further.
Jay designed those??? CSS has been around and doing the DIY kits, for a while now. I don’t believe Jay could design a first class speaker, let alone crossover by himself, anymore than I believe you designed the Galion’s circuit.
I have spent years working on learning how to design this stuff, and I’m still nowhere near world class (obviously it your fault). However, I find it irritating to hear someone say these RUclipsrs came and beat all of the professionals. NO- that didn’t happen. That’s like going to an artist, commissioning then to paint something, and then saying “Look what I painted.”
From my understanding, Jay came up with the concept and CSS implemented it. A bit like Jay was the architect while CSS was the Engineer. You will have to watch his video to see the whole story. He did play with the crossover. Without Jay's involvement, that project would never have seen the light. For Galion, I insisted on "Designed by Mr. Liu" printed on the back of the amp. Everyone who follows me knows my involvement was simply to voice the unit and improved it with the help of multiple exceptional engineers. I have made that clear in multiple videos. Without my involvement, the amp Doge designed would not have reached a level of performance where owners are comparing it to their own amp that cost twice. $10k to $20k(You can read their testimony on my website)
@@ThomasAndStereo I know you have been clear on the Galion, and I am not saying that having an idea and funding it’s development is NOT extremely valuable- because it is. I vote on shareholder issues, of stocks that I own, but I am not the one engineering things at Microsoft.
I have listened to Jay talk, and he is not exactly Andrew Jones. Of course, he does not have to be Andrew Jones, either. However, to say that Jay is ‘David’ beating out the ‘Goliaths’ of the professionals like Andrew Jones, is hard to wrap my mind around. Maybe I just took interpreted it wrong. I have been trying to find mentors that can teach me how to make amazing speakers, but beyond The Loudspeaker Cookbook and the parts express forum- it is hard to find people who can coach you to the level of DIY speaker building of Troels Gravesen.
All that to say that I am sensitive about seeing ppl get credit for building speakers that they didn’t engineer. For example: Paul McGowan spent decades trying to get PS Audio some nice speakers. The new FR30’s are great, but that’s not Paul’s creation IMO- it’s 100% Chris Brunhaver who had the knowledge and skill to make it work. Obviously, Paul’s money, manufacturing, logistics, and marketing was necessary, BUT all of those things had been around for decades, and no FRS30. Chris is the person I credit for that speaker.
I want a pair of those TAD speakers....they are EPIC!!
" grumpy old man "
you're not there yet , but wait it's coming soon enough . 😂
my wife occasionally lets me come downstairs when we have guests , but only for a short period of so as not to disturb the pleasant atmosphere .
however there is an upside to my grumpiness in that she has agreed to let me buy a new hi fi system so i'll stay in my room and enjoy . your new amp is number one on my list IF it comes in 220v for use in Germany.
Now having some common points of comparison (rooms at AXPONA) - I believe that you and I have very similar tastes (enough that I already put a deposit down for the Typhons). We seem to have liked many of the same rooms (the Orchestalls, for example...). I'm wondering if you had a chance to listen to either of the floorstanding Borresen speakers? I was enormously impressed by both.
Yes the Borrenson room reminded me of the Raidhon speaker my friend has. Well it is the same designer so I am a big fan.
Did it all for the those baked chips Thomas? LMAO
Another awesome video man, thank you for all your efforts and your insight too.
A continent away from me, this video is the best alternative to 'visit' the show anyway 😊
Good to see Estelon made it across the pond. I had the same experience listening to their entry-level model, I can only imagine how the top of the line sounds.
I also like the Luxman room and the Korean speakers. That design could also be used for other components than speakers. Imagine two of the Korean 'horizontal' speaker constructions flanking a third in the middle that holds amplifier, DAC, streamer and CD player. Much better to look at than a standard dull HiFi rack.
Thomas congratulations on your new integrated amplifier! Top Shelf indeed. Your partner Doge is known to me. I have owned their Doge 6 CD player for over 15 yrs and has been flawless. Wish they had a new version. Keep pushing on, you will do very well. Ed.
Thanks, Doge did offer to build me a cd player, however I am hesitant as I don't know how much interest is there left for CD
noticed what's making a comeback in the show? tubes!
I appreciate the absolute highs and lows of the exhibitions! The documentation of "incremental gains" ... however minimal!
This coverage made my day haha. Thanks TT
Great video Thomas
I was drooling over this stuff hi fi exotic .Nice job Thomas wish I was a rich Scottish guy lol great job Thomas as Always 😊
I’ve been to numerous NAMM shows. So yeah I get it how huge these venues are.
Bring the most comfy sneakers and lots of vitamin C since you are meeting so many people from around the world.
If there was a Grumpy Old Man I’d want to hear from it would certainly be Thomas as a Grumpy Old Man! He’s got just the right attitude and humor to pull it off in a funny insightful and entertaining way! If anyone was asking for my opinion or not I’d say if Thomas wants to “channel” his personal grumpy old man! Go For It Thomas! I’m good for the ride along!❤😂🎉🤗💕🙏✌️👋
I bought the og lrs and then upgraded to 1.7i and it’s a huge step up in everything for performance. Cant wait to get my hands on those Maggie subs
Congrats on the 1.7i.
22:00 OrcheStalls were the only ones................................
I've been saying it throughout these shows and that is to get all the gear off the floor & put a video monitor between the speakers. Much Better. Well done S.Korea. 🔈🔉🔊
Streamer at 10:45 mark?
Aureender
Not only is Hi-Fi + magazine one of the largest in UK, but it smells better than any magazine ever!! The first thing I do when I get my monthly copy, is open it up and take a huge whiff…. Is smells so divine!! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I wish there were some vids and impression of the decware 300b amp at Axpona.
Thomas, I appreciate you playing music people actually listen to in the css room. 95% of the rooms played crap you will never listen to again outside of these events. I totally get the critical listing part, but damn it's painful. BTW didn't see a lot of coverage of them, but what was your take on the Dutch & Dutch setup?
Thanks, sadly I missed that room.
As soon as I saw those DynAudio tower speakers I said
"That is what Kef should look like"
Love your work. If there is one person I would love to hear review of the Nad M23 amp 😉 it would be you but more so the implication of a tube pre amp, Dear Santa 🤞
Would be nice if I can. Thanks.
No Ayre/Seawave coverage seems like an oversight. Combo was featured on cover of Axpona website. Sounds so good companies are making a trade. I own Ayre R Series so I'm highly biased. Nothing sounds like Ayre.
Andrew Robinson's wife Kristi was talking smack about you and Jay and said in the comments on their latest video that you guys only send your products to be reviewed by your friends.
Thanks for the info, which video was it?
@@ThomasAndStereo Technics speakers they released review of today 4/23. In the comments section look for "Jeremy R" comment. He says he is excited about Jay's speaker and Kristi Wright responds: "I'm actually curious about it however much like T&S's amp, they seem to only send their products to be reviewed by their friends. I'd love to see some truly objective reviews."
Ah thanks a lot.
I like the current format. Question for Thomas and his subscribers.
I'm looking at 300b tube amps, my room is 17x25 with tall ceilings. Is a 300b tube plausible?
2. I'm auditioning sonus faber's sonota (5-7k) what other speakers should I audition to pair with a 300b?
Well, in theory it depends on how sensitve your speakers are. Sonnetta are 90db but it does not mean it is easy to drive because even if you can get loud volume, you might not be able to get the microdynamics. If you had a Focal Kanta 2, those are easy to drive but they are a bit light on the bass and bright. So in your case, 50% chance it will work if you bought a Willsenton R300 for example.
Those Nines look great. I would buy it if it was passive
Enjoy your videos Thomas! What would you choose between focal aria and dynaudio evoke speakers? Thanks
I have never heard the Evoke speakers at my home, sorry and thanks.
The Scaena's were my favorite speakers of the show last year. I didn't make it to the show this year.
Jay rockin the turtle neck:)
Nice to finally meet you, you’re super funny.
I try!
Title just rubs it in more !! But Thanks for the video ' 🎉 As always appricate ya Bro (Are you for real man)
Thanks for the wonderful show coverage! Always enjoy your intelligent, thoughtful commentary on whatever subject you're covering. I was surprised to see in the Magnepan room, that the speakers were powered by a Rogue Pharoah ll (of all choices). Do you like that pairing? And do you still think that the Galion TS120 isn't the best match for Magnepan 1.7is? Thanks Thomas.
I thought it was fine. I think it was like 400w or some crazy number. For me, tube amps are meh with Magnepan. It will sound ok but there are better ways to spend money.
Word on the street is the Galion slaughtered all these mega dollar systems 🥇
Hey Thomas,
I actually own the size down from the Reference Canton 3k you listened to .. ie the Ref 5k (2 x 7" woofers vs. 2 x 8" woofers). Previously I owned the same config Canton Vento (896.2 if memory serves with 2 x 7 " woofers) and prior to that the Canton Chrono SL (these had 2 x 6" woofers, ie same as the mid driver).
Clearly the step from the Chrono was big and the tweeter material and woofer cone material was different (the ones you reviewed had aluminum like my Chronos). The Chrono set was on the bright side for sure, but the Vento newer series I replaced them with were far less bright.
That said, the Ref 5k is another league altogether and again the cone and tweeter material, and crossover, were different. I would qualify the Ref 5k as very neutral and natural from mids and highs with very fast and well extended bass. Even though they have roughly the same cabinet size as the Vento and the same 2 x 7" woofer size there is just no comparison. I'd say the level of improvement from the Vento to the Ref 5k was dramatically more than from the Chrono to the Vento. In CDN $ the Vento was about $7k for the pair or 2x the Chrono, and the 5k Ref was close to 2x the Vento. Where I had some brightness issues with Chrono and some tamber and bass issues with Vento, the 5K is just great. I had heard B&Ws at much more than the 5Ks before buying and to me they had very good mids but a bit bright and the bass was not even close.
All that to say that if you felt the Canton's you heard were much better than what you'd reviewed I think it is because the speakers are better than they were.
Thx for the enjoyable and informative non grumpy old man review ;-)
I did some checking and the Ref 5k tweeters are aluminum oxyd ceramic, Vento is ceramic, Chrono SL aluminum-manganese. As for Woofer and Mid driver cones the 5Ks are ceramic & tungsten treated aluminum, Vento is titanium treated aluminum and Chrono SL all aluminum. The Ref 3.2k DC you reviewed used aluminum-oxide/ceramic tweeter so similar/same as my 5K, but they used all aluminum woofer and mid cones (like the Chrono SL 590 DC). I assume this made them brighter as this was my experience (I had same electronics, incl. McIntosh MA6600 amp, as I progressed through from Chrono to Vento to Reference series Cantons).
Thanks for the long comment.
Man, those CSS are really growing on me. Great design. Also really excited about the Magniplanars, concepts but confused from a buisness proposition.
To me it's all about mid high and mid lows. Gotta have sweet highs too. TAD! Whut!?
They are not that big and it took me by surprised. Looks great.
Thomas is the man! Unfortunately, I am sitting here listening to an NPR Classical Opera broadcast on a vintage Fisher RS2007 (1978) and a pair of refoamed Advent legacy speakers from the early '90s. lol
Total expenditure? $170 U.S. Probably get you a bag of those chips at the show, lol?
A million dollar system with one sweet spot?
Nah, I was walking around the room before that.
Hi Thomas! Hope you can cover Raidho speakers and talk about them or review them in the future. Thanks! :D
Yeah I love Raidho. My friend has them.
Both you and Jay do good show reports, too bad you could not cover more rooms
I filmed way more rooms, but the video will get too long if i included those..
@@ThomasAndStereo Love a part 2!!
Hi Thomas,
I'd like to lose a few pounds, but your love of food makes it difficult.
Grtz Phil
Hi Thomas
Thank you Thomas for a delightful video and commentary, unlike arrogant and sarcastic MF.
Well done
😂 OF COURSE THOMAS …WE HOPE YOU DO FOR ALL SHOWS YOU ATTEND 🤗👍😎💚💚💚
For us who aren’t able
Hi Thomas, did you came across the upcoming KLH Model 7? I’m curious to find out what did you think of the Model 7 vs the Model 5?
No I missed that room.
By all means cover shows. Are you going to Munich? I caught the CSS room on some RUclips videos (various channels) and was hoping for some big, energetic music but alas....
Nah, I wish I can go but too much $$$.
One would need a weeks holiday to recover from all of that
and I had only just got 01.17 into the video..😎🕶☀🌅
T, did you ever find out if the 300b tubes on the Wilsenton 300 have floated tube sockets, i.e. loose sockets?
No, my amp is at Loic place, HIFI CAVE, send him a message on his RUclips channel.
No Audio Note room ?
Now i will always wonder, could the man legitimately hear a difference using the upgraded cables. It would have been great to ask him away from the booth so he doesn't feel pressured by the seller.
I guess he would vote with his wallet.
Thomas , I own the rethm speakers, the top model ( saadhanas)..if you have the decware ufo for sale or if you know anyone selling it...please let me know...decware long wait queue is stopping me for ordering...

Thanks for the good information, Thomas 👍 question: why does Arendel not participate In this show ? Or am I mistaken
Good question.😮
Thomas, an Ontario audio dealer is closing. He is a really good guy blowing out all his demos. Would you consider advertising via this channel? Let me know
I don't mind posting a link on my community page.
Thank you very much Thomas!
The link won’t work. Google soundstage fine audio and it will explain itself. Please and thank you!
@@alfonzooliviera1121 ok remind me tomorrow if you don't see it posted.
ClassD designs, how much focus did they get and any positive surprises?
I think i saw a few amps that were class D but I was paying only attention to the super big amps because those I cannot get. Some, if you put 2 together, it is the size of my bed.
Just curious thomas, did you go into the MOFI Sourcepoint 10 room? if so, were you not impressed enough to review it there? I watched your whole video to see if maybe you had gone in. It got a whole lot of praise, but I do trust your ears and honesty. Curious what you thought or what you heard from others about it there.
I heard it in the Montreal audio show and made a comment on that video. I did not bother checking it at this show.
It also would be nice if those speakers came in an ‘ upgrade’ version with known Scan Speak or SEAS drivers. I know I know, the drivers are probably really good, but my brain says “ I want seas or scan speak”
If that make sense
Thanks and no offense
What is the make of the drivers do you know?
@@hoobsgroove send the an email.
@@ThomasAndStereo I tried to ask jay but he deleted my comments said he didn't know how that happened ?? I said to him why don't you sell your speakers with the Thomas amplifier as a package didn't get a response, lol seems like they're a good match what do you think,!
@@hoobsgroove Ah, the reason is that accounting would be a nightmare for a small company like mine.
@@ThomasAndStereo I don't see it really! you have a fixed price and that's it why should that be so complicated for accounting? All you need to know is volumes of sales and your percentage. I was wondering if jay actually use your amplifier for tuning the the speakers? do you know!? tuning a amplifier to a speaker is the best way to go to get synergy between the two and to sound very good. Jay didn't like it when I started telling him about why didn't you sell it as a kit for two and a half thousand less he said he couldn't do it for $2,500 less wouldn't be any profit?? I said that's nonsense most of the cost is in the materials cabinet if you're not supplying the wood "MDF" just stick on blueprints that people can use to cut out material, all your left with is the drivers and crossover parts and speaker terminals stuffing if needed, what should be under $180 per -speaker. that's when my comments got deleted 😆
Have you thought about designing a speaker to work with your amplifier it should only be small tweaking is needed I'll look at the seas kits
For a bookshelf loki Mk lll two-way speaker concentric mid-range and Twitter good for digital playback another speaker that probably work well with your amplifier is Excel bifrost kit I change the second inductor from 0.4mH to 0.7mH extend the port another 28mm you get down to 30 Hertz then. Not sure how the driver will handle that probably be ok 90 dB efficient or contact sees and work with them send them an amplifier they're probably build your speaker matcha amp the amp you can sell the kit for $1300 or a complete speaker for 2 and 1/2, I'm sure you can find a local workshop that can build your cabinets? Or falcon acoustic say really good quality speakers and cabinets kits, birch ply fairly cheap is there a good company probably not as cheap as Seas tho. Or Madisound in America night design you speak? That make some good stuff.
Another speaker might be worth checking out seas cx 871 90db with a concentric mid-range tweeter, I've heard it's a very good speaker the kit is ready for assemble at 1,590 dollars complete you got some friends capable? a little bit of tweaking and you can match it to your amp very easily. Through madisound. That's the one I would concentrate on as a flagship speaker for your amplifier nice looking speaker Great specs a bit of tweaking should be able to match it perfectly. might be worth your while trying to get one and see what it sounds like. They have DIY audio shows you can see one there.
Thank you, Sir! It's always fun to follow your humorous approch while providing all that information. Just your headset microphone sucks with that shrill ear-piercing distortion it all too easily runs into.
Yeah, I am too close to the mic.
Look at all the rooms, treated 😅😅😅
What was the sound signature of the Kaya 25. Bright- neutral - musical?
Probably neutral bright. Not 100% sure.
Good production Thomas, covering the speakers that are the Talk on the Web. Same way, zero interest in headphones, I need to feel the music. Vivid speakers get my Vote and PS Audio for the greatest presentation.
It's always funny when the pros think RUclipsrs are trash but then we surprise them from on their high horses. It's not like their ears are any better.
If they are showcasing gear worth 6 or even 7 figures, every year, would it not make sense to do it in an audio friendly location rather than a makeshift venue at a hotel? A properly treated room would separate the wheat from the chaff instantly.
Hi Thomas, I would like to know are you and Jay going to be able to demo your products at a UK hifi expo please please please please say yes 🙏
I wish but nah. You can listen to the TS120 in England. There is a listening room.
@@ThomasAndStereo where is this listening 👂 room? Where when who?
@@alldhat-n-den-sum4190 London, send me an email at thomas.tan@galion-audio.com
Did you visit Focal as well?
Nah, I have visited Focal too many times at other shows.
I have to ask!
When the next big thing after 2ch stereo were also at the show.
The Bacch SP filter that cancel out the right speaker sound at the left ear and vice versa.
That enable the best imagine performance cost no object and as I said the next big thing after 2ch stereo!
The professor is working with Elon musk and probably we might see the Bacch filter in Tesla.
Something you are not aware of and totally missed or something that is "meh" in Tomas book ?!❤
Oh it is something I have no idea about.
@@ThomasAndStereo The filter comes in many types of implementations.
Including a camera that track your head (to know where the ears are).
The whole system (gear, room, earshape, head) is calibrated with two earphones that actually is two microphones. And doing a frequency sweep.
The cool thing is that what it is microphones then you can do a (live) recording and then reproduce it.
You can enable/disable the "filter" and do comparison, and what you were present at the recording then it is easy to compare!
We kan have a guy going 360° around you and clapping and whisper in one of your ears..
Better testing is hard to get!
Something you NEED to look into this is next level and all other technologies is old school.
Hi Thomas, I know recently you had a new youtube account for your newly founded audio company?
