Some quick thoughts-
-Great show
-Loved the live music. Lori Lieberman was really special but the frequent short sets in that Foyer on the 5th floor were great.
-I think I'm getting to be a tube snob. I only heard one solid state system that I liked at all, the Raidho/Merrill Class D system.
-It's amazing how many $100K systems can be put together in one place. OK, maybe not. What's truly amazing is how many $100K-$200K (and up) systems can be put together that have great soundstaging, deep bass, pin-point imaging, amazing HF extension, and that do not sound anything like music!!!
-Did VPI have an exclusive right to exhibit 'tables? Not exactly correct, but I bet they had 90% of the 'tables. And how come Merrill was using a VPI instead of their own?
-Best sound- Singer room w VAC and Raidho.
-Other impressive rooms
Co-incident/Audio Loft
Joseph Pearls/VPI/"new" Citations- but what was up w
the 3 channel set up?
TRL dude/Allnic/MAD Barons/Care audio
Merrill/Raidho
-Best affordable speaker- the stacked Sjofen "clues"...for $2K they are a relative bargain, esp. for uptempo music.
Did anyone get a chance to listen to the Mytek 192/DSD dac?
