CES 05


CES comments...
In the Sutherland room were the Avalon Vision at 23K, one of only two pair in the Universe and they sounded superb with the VPI HRX. Alison Krauss sounded nearly as good as she did live last year. I have always liked the Avalon sound...clean, delicate and very open with great dimensional contrasts. Sutherland knows how to do phono right.
Cary Audio:There was magic being made in the Cary room. The piano music being played was full of weight and body and demanded to be listened till the piece was over. I liked this room very well.
Threshold:Good news is that Threshold is making gear again and in the Threshold tradition they made great music. The Threshold S/3700e was listed at 3500.00. The system was used with Cardas Neutral Reference interconnect and Speaker cable.
Sound Lab: The M1 SL speakers with the Parasound JC1's provided a grand liquid sound that was very musical. I spoke with John Curl for some time and I was very impressed with the engineering effort that went into the JC1's.
