My Orion In Action

Long time overdue.

Sorry for the ambient noise. I hooked up my Orion Plus after a long hiatus....


They are, as usual, amazing!

Happy weekend to all.

Amanda,
Well done they look very swish!

Smart looking Garrard 301.
I use a Garrard 401 with the Pluto 2.1's.

Cool!

Yes, for some reason, vinyl on idler tables sounds great with Orion Plus. I think it has something to do with how the Orion Plus "captures" the dynamics of the idler base table. Dunno exactly to be honest....

Abe -

Glad to hear your Orions are back from vacation! Your playback of Ben Webster makes me want to hurry my construction. Yes, you helped convince me to take the plunge into the Orion challenge.

Hi Ron,

Glad that you like it! The bonus is, YouTube compresses the sound so much. Once you hear the Orion Plus in person in your own system and room, what you heard on the video is nothing. No comparison. Imagine that!

regards,

Abe

I'm so disappointed. They don't even sound as good as my pluto's. In fact, they sound just like my computer speakers! :wink:

Very nice! :D
Arguing with an engineer is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig. After a few hours, you realize that the pig likes it...

Thanks jonasz

@ronpod: Oh, btw, that's Houston Person and not Ben Webster.

Ah yes, Houston Person headlined here at the Estes Park Jazz Fest a couple of weekends ago. Excellent performance! (and free) Which album did you play from?
