    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Haha! It probably will. When did you pull your data? SME is in my room (1420) and I don't see it on your list. (it does come up on the AXPONA search)

    DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

    It truly is the "What's Best" forum!

    Neutral power amp recommendations?

    It might sound odd in the audience of some of the other products listed, but I have really been surprised at how good the various Purifi-based amps can be. They also respond very well to the quality of the input buffer board. Id tend to say they are good-as or better than the variety of GaN...

    While I test and try to voice these speakers for the many genres of music out there.. I personally attach most to indie/alternative from late 70s up to the present (currently on quite a Yaeji kick.. very interesting how she has taken house influences from 20 years ago and reinterpreted them) As...

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    At one point or the other, I have heard about every OTL design ever made (even the vintage ones like Luxman MQ-36 and a very expensive one from Japan) and Ralph by far makes the best sounding OTL amps. Get to Minnesota and be sure to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka ;-)

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything Elliot G has said about the shows. Rarely do exhibitors ever "make a sale" at a show. The ROI is dubious at best. I do love sharing my products with people who haven't heard them yet, and the press coverage is always good, but if you dont have something...

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    I will be there, Room 1420! Bringing our top-level stuff given AXPONA is a top-level show. I think I may need to do by best to get into the area late afternoon Wednesday so I have time to get some deep dish. Granted, I am only 20 minutes from New Haven and have access to some of the best pizza...

    Capital Audiofest 2023

    I greatly appreciate that offer! I will be at AXPONA (room 1420) and teamed up with Iconoclast again, so it will be a team effort. Extra ears for a bit later in the day are always good though, so I might take you up on the offer. AXPONA seems like its a ways away, and yet, its right around the...

    Capital Audiofest 2023

    I think his point was simply a better room setup (placement and treatments). My first year at CAF (2021) I did completely on my own. You get access to your room about 830 in the morning, and then its moving lots of heavy equipment up into your room, it takes quite some time. Once its unpacked...

    Because of their vintage nature, there is definitely some aesthetic variation in the drivers. That pair seems to have a cover over the magnet making it look more like a Super Aero (I have a pair of Classic9s on my desk that are similar). The Super Aeros have a long motor with a deeper...

    My Tube Collection, Welcome to share yours

    Its Cold War cousin, the 6336A, was the same way in my experience. Great sounding when it was stable, but a very fine line before those graphite plates were glowing and going into full meltdown.

    Hi David, The cone material is different on the super aero, particularly in the whizzer. (its lighter weight but similar paper composition which is why they do not look that different). The motor in the super aero is also larger. The leather surround and spiders are of the same quality in...

    Capital Audiofest 2023

    I agree here completely, and I have done the same. When all things are equal, there are elements of how the phone records and plays back that really illustrate design changes and their effect. Critical aural memory is actually quite short, so often by the time you have changed a piece of...
