A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread


I hope to attend. Any others? ANy thoughts on anything particular advertised for CAF 2012 of particular interest?

it would seem that the established panel speaker manufacturers, i.e., "full-range" panels, were not represented at the show.

from what i understand the gtt speaker was a hybrid.
mR t.: YOU ARE CORRECT .

tHERE WERER SOME VERY GOOD diy ELECTRSTATS DEMOED i HEAR BUT OTHERWISE GTT HYBRIDS WERE THE CLOSEST THING.
One other thing i took notice of at caf that may be of interest to me was the new vpi traveller turntables. I have not heard the cost but the build quaiity looked good and the design fairly clean and straightforward. If my trusty linn ever dies, maybe this could be a worthy heir to run my dl103r cart with.
The VPI Traveler is $1295.

Again, most rooms impressed me in a bad way, but I found the Joseph Audio loudspeaker room where it resided sounded terrific.
Trelja, do you know offhand if that includes the tonearm that was displayed?

Thanks.
