Could this be the best ipod dock that money can buy? This is a short demonstration of how it works & how it plays for those who are serious about getting hi fidelity from their ipod and don't mind paying £900 for one. During my testing sessions it is very clear to me that the Kid produces a superb & involving midband, with the treble on the sweet and slightly soft side, while the bass is solid & well defined. I personally don't like soft & sweet treble, users can easily adjust treble & bass level to their liking but i wouldn't prefer using the Kid's onboard equalization. On a solid state amplification setup (i also tested this with a Naim setup some time ago) the kid manages to give a warm/valve like sound which is appealing to some if you prefer that kind of sound. I personally think it is an exceptional product it would completely wipe out the majority of sub £1k cdp although i must say i tend to look for upgradability on top of functionality in things, especially in high end equipment and i just don't see any for this product. I must conclude that if you're the sort of person that demands quality but rarely would you upgrade your equipment then this is the product for you! However I would be more than happy to have the wadia itransport and a DAC of my desire (& possibly upgrade my DAC in the future!)

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Op. 49 - TELARC Edition in HD - FOR AUDIOPHILES - WARNING! Live Cannons
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Op. 49 - TELARC Edition in HD - FOR AUDIOPHILES - WARNING! Live Cannons Video Clips. Duration : 15.60 Mins.
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Op, 49. TELARC EDITION - Erich Kunzel conducting the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. WARNING! - Digitally recorded LIVE cannons, recorded with the Virginia 5th Regiment. This video has been done in HD and offers 720p for the best I can offer you in audio on a computer. HOWEVER, GET READY TO BE AMAZED At the SUPERIOR audio quality that is present in this video. I hope all who requested it will enjoy what I have accomplished. This video was made using MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 HD software. It is my first attempt at using this software, so please forgive the quirks and mistakes in the video pictures. When I worked in the top end audio field, this TELARC Edition was not yet out on CD, so the challenge was to get the turntable ensemble working to perfection. My choice of turntable was the belt driven, reference Linn Sondek LP 12 (which I still own) with a Koetsu arm, tipped with a Kiseki Blue, Silver Spot Low Output Moving Coil Cartridge. This was one of two arm/cartridge combinations, that I knew of, that sailed over those cannons without playing hop-scotch. The other was the Linn Ittok LVII mk2 /Asack combination, which I was also fortunate enough to own in black. Today, on CD, these cannons are ten time more devastating. WARNING - PLEASE find out on a lower volume, how your sound system will respond to the two cannon salvos. The first salvo consists of five LOUD shots. The second salvo a couple of minutes later, consists of 11 (Eleven) LOUD booms ...
