    Photo and Video Highlights of the California Audio Show 2019

    Thanks, Tim! Yeah, the white cabinets look quite elegant in homes with white or off-white walls. Sometimes we want our gear to make a visual statement, and sometimes just be more visually integrated into the room. Depends on the hour of the day for me, I think :) Too bad the Oakland CAS show...

    Kind of like asking "what gets you further through immigration, having a U.S. passport or being a U.S. Citizen?".

    Incredible Shrinking California Audio Show 2019

    Thanks, CJ. Maybe I should mention that the speakers were on -1 w/r to the midrange settings [there are separate binding posts or +/- 1 and +/- 2 and 0]. Hermann, the co-founder, did this and it was his judgement call this year to play it with the midrange a little more laid back than what we...
