i haven't heard the t5v in person, but i have the adam a8x myself and i can tell you that anytime i hear anytime i hear music played on speakers that don't have the characteristic adam (or eve or hedd) ribbon tweeter, i immediately notice a lack of clarity in the upper frequencies. (there seems to be a recurring pattern that people who ask for opinion of audio equipment online mostly get replies from people recommending their own choices ) of course the only real way to decide is to hear both speakers for yourself.

now that you mention it, the similarities are very obvious.

thanks. there is definitely some influence from there. but it also reminds me of sonic species, which isn't a bad sign at all either. true. and also when skipping through the tracks sometimes the bassline stays exactly the same.

you mean these? https://www.dropbox.com/s/arlizjp8bysq7tl/tsakick.zip?dl=0

true. but he does have a sense of atmosphere and knows when to leave space instead of filling the track up with mediocre stuff. also the clean, almost progressive foundation is refreshing even though he uses the same old e-mantra sounds on top.

nice one. nowadays this style gets me more excited than the latest suntrip compilations. what you hear in the track all serves a purpose instead of cramming pointless or overdone melodies in there, and the sound is nice and clean.

so, you're saying his album has vaporized?

d5 - second phaze imho the second one is the clear winner here compared to the original on blue moon.

could be. i just found the party at goabase (praise them for staying online and keeping the records) and it was just advertised as magnetrixx. but in the reports there is "danke an stefan und heike" so she was there for sure

i remember being at a party (afair there was either magnetrixx or audiomatrixx on the lineup) and there was a woman up there playing at that timeslot. maybe i remember it wrong or they put the wrong alias there on the lineup

nice track. thanks for reminding me of magnetrixx. haven't heard anything from him in a long time. (i just had to check, you're right and i'm wrong in thinking that magnetrixx was a woman )

just what i was thinking. if covid allows for the festival to take place, there no way i'm going to miss it.

you can edit your original post to make it easier for the automatic counting script to function if we will be able to use it. but i have no idea how we could count a label as best release of 2020.

then let's just do it ourselves. we can hope that someone who can automatically evaluate the votes jumps in by the end of april, otherwise we'll have to do it manually.

it's march already and we haven't done anything like this yet? edit: feel free to leave your votes for your top 10 albums of 2020 in this thread. the first entry will receive 10 points, the second 9 points and so on. voting will be possible til the end of april. we will hopefully use a script to automatically evaluate the results so please keep your votes in the following format: Uptempo: 1. Artist Name - Album 2. Artist 2 - Album 2 … Downtempo: 1. Artist Name - Album 2. Artist 2 - Album 2 … ________ i have a pityful amount of new music from the last year, so i'll vote at a later point in time when i have catched up. post your suggestions for contenders by voting!
