The system, built by audiophile designer Devon Turnbull, sounds like nothing most people have ever heard before - you feel like you're seated in the front row at an orchestra, or on a bar stool at a smokey jazz club, or inside Aphex Twin's brain.
I think it's the best-sounding system in the world. It's not just the sound system; it's also the room. And there's things that Devon did to protect the audience from the DJ.
There are two turntables, but the system is designed without a crossfader, so there's no way to smoothly transition between records, or beat-match like a DJ would in a club setting. One record ends, there's a moment of silence, and then the next record begins, such that technique doesn't distract from the pure sonic power of the music.
I was in heaven. I was struck. I consider myself somebody who's pretty in touch emotionally with myself. But I'm still reverberating, and I'm still kin.
