Axpona 22’ pictures

[Mike Lavigne]

figured I would post pictures, some posts will have multiple rooms, some just a single room. Then over the weekend as I gather my thoughts I will add them to the pics.

At least everyone can see where I went and get a feel for things.

this room was a focus of mine and went back three times today. It has the new Ideon digital I wanted to get the measure of.

This was a focus room for me as it was one of two rooms with Wadax Reference dac and server. I was in here twice getting my ears calibrated.

Thanks Mike.
Whats your take on DS. I am still considering the 003 package.

Any stand out rooms?

Did you go to any seminar or the Mike and Jay Q&A?

Next to all the other gear, do the horns sound like horns or music.

Next to the horns, does the other gear sound like ported box?

Anybody able to identify the signal tubes in the Horizon?

Thanks Mike.

Certainly top flight in both the Sonus Aida/Boulder room and the EMM room.

so far not ringing my bell. But it’s a show.

Any stand out rooms?

Too early, many I like. But my focus is pretty narrow and maybe not suitable for an objective view. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have an opinion

Did you go to any seminar or the Mike and Jay Q&A?

No.

I spent 30 minutes there today. If I go back I will ask.
