How did they come up with that name?

Changed the name in advance of becoming the 51st state!

I saw some shit online that said if the US gets Greenland, Denmark should get Maine and I have never wanted anything more in my life.

I would sell my soul for even one component out of that bottom Nagra system. I think that setup is just stunning.

You would be very happy with that Rega Naia.

I'm very happy with my VPI Classic Signature thank you very much good sir!

God
Damn

American Sound of Canada is the wildest store I've ever been in.

Geezus, what is that? A million dollars worth of Nagra gear . I’ve never heard a sound system this good/expensive

That's not quite a million dollars...


This one is though.
I listened to Tool "Chocolate Chip Trip"
It was... Bzonkers.

Your system is easily good enough to tell you the Rega is vastly superior.

I get that it’s a great table, but I hate the way it looks.

You don't like the skeletal regas?

Interesting...

Nope. Actually I don’t really like any rega.

I don’t like the normal ones but they are sorta inoffensively turntable looking for the most part.

I like the skeletal ones, they’re kinda funky looking…

How much time do you spend staring at your’ table when listening? Anyway, if sound quality is most important to you, as it is with me, the Rega’s looks shouldn’t be a negative feature. The P8, P10 and NAIA are not your grandfather’s Rega and sound as good as much more expensive ‘tables and can be considered bargains for what they do.

I already feel like the orbit is the ugliest thing in my set up. I’ve mentioned it before but aesthetics has been a factor in my upgrade path. The orbit is fine but kind of plain Jane. And I actually do stare at it a bit.

Did you price everything? Because a lot of super high end dealers have all the electrical done with 20 amp individual lines to EVERY outlet in show rooms. And double thickness, double layer drywall. And breaker box transformers that are the size of a basketball for the flagship rooms. Very well could be $1M room.

The Nagra wasn't, I think the electronics were about $200,000, can't remember the speakers but they were smaller, I think maybe Harbeth. Those Nagras are each $24,000 CAD. They were actually at a second store, everything else was one store and they had NUMEROUS million dollar systems. Honestly the best speakers I heard were these powered Zeros (the white slab), just holographic with so much punch. Unreal...

Also, the Naia is nearly THREE times the price of the Classic Signature so honestly it SHOULD be vastly superior.
