Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted September 10, 2018 Volunteer Share Posted September 10, 2018 That is on my “must listen” list. Very excited 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted September 10, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted September 10, 2018 Totally agree. I've spoken to Bill a few times this year and each time he talks these up. I trust Bill's ears and I suspect he will be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I'm pretty keen to see and hear these as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkinClassAudio Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Glad Bill is not showcasing his gear with DEQX this year. This way we get to listen to the music without the interruption of switching to DEQX and end up with a splice and dice presentation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazzesman Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 @Marc Has Bill Mclean provided a schedule of times he will be actively playing the D&D 8c on each day of the Show? If you have such an item can you post it here please. Regards Cazzesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedrum Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Just finished up at the show and this was my room of the show. Never heard of Dutch & Dutch before walking into the room, but the clarity, easiness and sweetness of the sound was addictive. Make sure you also get to hear the Kii Audio Three speakers in the Pure Audio room. Similar clarity and ease, maybe a little less bass, but still very impressive. Edit: M8 Audio Sweet Maxwell's were also amazing. The speed of those woofers playing bass guitar! Edited October 13, 2018 by nedrum 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primare Knob Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Have never heard that before. What does it mean?[emoji3]There are two answers to this.One is, that everything Dutch is just awesome and you need to bow your head to it. The second is, like a chihuahua syndrome. Being a small country barking at everything that is bigger than you by overachievement and simple arrogancy.I am sitting firmly in camp 1, but people like to call me arrogant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said no amp needed so add that into the equation. You’re looking not much more for the NS-5000 then god knows what for the M-5000 and C-5000. So for less $$ than the Yammie speakers alone you’re getting a system that killed the Yammie flagship speakers, pre and amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what you get (amp, DAC and speakers) I reckon that’s tremendous value. Same with the Kiis - although they are a bit more exxy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wikeeboy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The D&D 8c's are 16k, the custom stands Bill offers for them were just under $1300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that I don't have a spare $15K to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A set amount in each month and one lucky punter gets the full upgrade kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider27 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Not sure if this is the ideal place to post and does anyone know where we can get Wally's protractor? During the Hi Fi show, there was a seminar presented by Mark Dohmann (?) about how to set up the cartridge and presenter mentioned about protractor developed by well known guy called Wally (?). It is glass panel with arc lines on it and looks very intriguing. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited Mark's seminar as well, interesting as always. I don't know where to get Wally's protractor (although Mark mentioned that a new producer has been found to continue its production in near future) but the Accutrak protractor works according to the same principle: http://www.accutrak.us/index.html I am using this protractor with my Jelco tonearm.
