RA kit

I may have missed it but so far i've only noticed a passing mention of these. Many people get a listen at the show?

Opinions?

Did I read a few weeks back that the kit is only available to those who have already put in a full network of RA cables and leads?

The pre/power amps look a bit too country cottage kitchen to me.

 

God that stuff looks manky. Look at those shitty wood bits and the shiny shiny metal. No thanks, I dont care what it sounds like...

 

My god he's even put those damned oak cone feet on the bottom of them. have you seen how much he charges for those feet? You could make some yourself for less than a quid out of some oak lying about in a skip.

 

it doesn;t look that offensive in the flesh. sounds ok too, one of the rooms at the show that didn;t immediately offend. ultimately it was a bit boring but then nothing at the show really lept out except perhaps the 47 labs stuff but that was very small scale music.
the looks remind me of the mad peraux stuff from nz. althouogh a bit less mental.
cheers

All I can say is it sounded manky as well, one of the worst rooms of the show
Russ darling has thouse built in the UK at a new factory, north of boarder I believe WM

Forgot here's the best bit, he'll only sell you one, if you are an 'Approved' R/A customer and you have reciepts for a full kimber power chord set up, seriously TRUE

 

Isn't it just rebadged SJ Kit

Having a bit of a foot fetish myself, I get a woody just looking at those photos.

 

Oh come on, it looks okay.

The tweeter on that floorstander looks like the neodymiwhatsit inverted tweeter by JM labs -- anyone know if it is? If so, he's obviously using quality parts.

As for sound quality - everything sounds crap at a hotel show, thats just the way things are.

About the.. 'must get RA kit first' well, hats off to him for having the courage to follow his convictions.

...even if I dont share them.
...and even if its commercial suicide.

NB
Found a place in the far east to get what appears to be Kimber cable for way cheap £$£$ - and they sell to end users too.

Anyone interested in Kimber stuff PM me, and I'll PM back a link.

 

So Chris you did write that letter then ?

 

haha - no mate, decided not to after what you told me.

I fould a local stockist in the far east though, for what appears to be their cables.

Dont want to buy any myself, but thought Id let interested parties know.
