T.H.E. New York International Audio Show

@kr4 did you attend?

I woke up thinking about the Lyra Atlas cartridge.

I only listened to two tracks, of interesting but totally unfamiliar music, so it is quite possible it was the content, not the cartridge that I found uninvolving.

Had I been paying more attention, I bet there was some familiar content I could have put on.

As I said, I knew instantly that it was a cut above, asked what it was, they told me it was Lyra Atlas, then I put my brain into listen to the cartridge mode.

I said feeble memory, I can remember the position of the TT against the window wall, and the location of the stacks of LPs on the left side in the room, but I don’t recall what room, what TT, who was playing it. Sorry, I should have realized at the time how rare a chance it was.

I hadn’t been to a show in a Long time. I was anticipating a crowded, hot, mess, crowded rooms and hallways like the old days.

Robert Lighton Speakers

Most Impressive is wrong, Most Desireable is more what I meant to say.

I mean, impressive could be a too tall stack of Wilsons, in a too small room, but I never wanted Wilsons.

I often think, if my beloved speakers were stolen, what would I want?

I would probably restore a pair of JSE Model 2's because I had and loved them for years, still listen to them at two friend's homes, ...

But, I would want those RL12's more than anything I ever heard.
