A call for "Thanks to Graham"

The collective knowledge on this forum is mainly directed toward finding the truth of High Fidelity sound and how to reproduce the High Fidelity in the home.

 I have noticed that all members signed up here are searching for that truth.

Graham has set up this forum, and it's loaner program, to support those seeking the truth.

Many times over, Graham has stated his designs are based on making the music be reproduced as close to the original recording as possible... and in a minimalist fashion. Quote; "Does it sound right to me?" Graham says a lot.

We all owe Graham a lot more than just being a member or owner of GSP Forum and kit.

Here is a call for "Thanks to Graham" for his sojourn for the truth.

Play "Seventh Sojourn" here... and maybe "Close to the Edge"

Agreed. I sent Graham a personal note of thanks just last week. I'm very happy to make a public one, as well, so here goes...

Dear Graham,
      Since I started dabbling with your equipment (Reflex M was my first purchase, since extending to Proprius, Majestic and cables), I've been constantly impressed by your level of service and attention to those asking for help. Furthermore, the quality of the system never ceases to amaze me. I get used to it and I suppose that involves a bit if complacency as well, so I'm always keen to hear other systems to keep my sense of perspective. I use an RP8 turntable and was very excited to get the opportunity to hear that 'table in a new context last Thursday. The phone stage and amp were made by the same people who built the RP8 and form an often recommended combination, and the speakers were the Sonus faber Olympica III.
In a word, underwhelming. Less "hifi" than my GSP system and far less engaging musically. Timbre, texture, sound stage, dynamics, flow: the VERY expensive system didn't compete on any level. In Australian dollars my GSP system plus speakers cost around $9,500 (£3,500), compared to the $17,000 system I heard Thursday.

Thank you, Graham. I am grateful to be a part of this family of enthusiasts and yet again floored by the value for money you offer (the rip offs others offer?).
Mick.
