One rainy night last month I was lucky enough to tag along with my friends to visit David’s extra-ordinary system, it was an ears-opening as well as eye-opening audiophile experience, despite all these wonderful sharing so far in this thread, I feel obliged to share my feelings after the audition.
Re-defined the traditional high end audiophile system
As a long time music lover and audiophile, pursuing the most possible original music reproduction is not an easy matter, endless changing of hardware and performing all kind of tweaks are only normal acts for achieving audiophile perfection. It was an unforgettable night after visiting David Cheung’s Veritas Vox system, which not only brought us to the audiophile heaven of music reproduction, it also redefined our conventional understanding on high end audio system.
If you think the 400 + sq. ft. music room with its ultra-modern high end and high-tech features is eye dazzling, wait till you look closer at the Veritas Vox system, which is a total proprietary and close-end system consists of well over 10 + individual components connected together with its own proprietary connectors and cables. Instead of trying to understand each component’s functions and how they all integrated to perform the overall wonderful tasks of Swiss precision music data reproduction, the essence is (my own understanding / guessing), its unique way of handling music data retrieval, monitoring, processing, control and transmission to the speakers. The engineering efforts and designs went into the system can truely be described as revolutionary.
Pushing to the edge of performance envelope
Analytically, the combined act of these impressive number of individual proprietary components rendered an amazing scale of music landscape with perceived soundstage size unheard of, more importantly the system staged a true-to-life three dimensional soundstage with superb instrument, voice, image separation and true-to-life unrestraint micro and macro dynamic. Unlike many high end gears, the frequency spectrum from the top to the bottom is extra-ordinary smooth, natural and coherence without perceived emphasis on any frequency range.
The ultimate test on a system is whether the music produced can bring you in tune with the performers and music? It is this critical aspect that the Veritas Vox system is a real treasure to us. What set apart the Veritas Vox system attributes from what we understand on conventional system sound is, it’s incredibly gigantic three dimensional soundstage, in which, be that an element of musical instrument or human voices, were rendered so natural and with you-were-there-with-the-performers kind of presentation. From solo performance to large scale orchestral pieces, we were like literally transported right into the concert hall or recording venue to enjoy whatever music and performances were put on to the system, as music lover, what else can we ask for? The system did not get our attention by mean of producing the so called pin-point imaging as such, instead all the instrument and voices in the soundstage did not seems to have their own individual conventional boundary of imaging due to the superb coherence nature of its presentation, individual instrument boundary seem to merged into the whole soundstage in a very natural analog way, this is something perhaps people need to audition the system to understand fully.
I must admit after years of soul searching in pursue of the best possible music reproduction, categorically speaking I’m in the camp of SET valve setup whereby if its mid-range seduction is wrong (in the eyes of absolute neutrality) then I don’t want to be right! But after the experience of hearing the Veritas Vox system with its superb neutrality and doing so many things so right, I started to ask myself the question, do I need to revisit my understanding and preferences? The first time that happened to me.
Congratulations to David and his team in developing this amazing Veritas Vox system, if I can have a wish list on the subject, I wish this design can be trickled down to a smaller scale so that we can see more of its application to appear in ordinary domestic environment.
