Please consider yourself invited to visit rooms 325 and 653 at Capital Audiofest for the premier of a few new products that I think are very special: The Galle DAC, NT (network transport), Phono preamplifier, and Ellipticum loudspeakers by Cinnamon of Portugal.

Cinnamon offers a unique blend of old world craftsmanship (the sand cast aluminum and bronze chassis are art) with cutting edge technology. Their tagline is Made to Matter, and I think it shows.

The Ellipticum is the most compact loudspeaker in the Cinnamon line. The set I'm bringing is finished in authentic Porsche Racing Green Metallic.

I saw you filming Volti speakers, didn’t want to interrupt
So far my personal best were Goebel with Wadax and Stenheim with CJ amps
Volti were pretty good with some modest tube gear

I had a very fun evening getting to know Ken Stevens, founder of Convergent Audio Technology, over six hours, and hearing Harry Pearson stories and Vladimir Lamm stories.

Work is work, but by far the best part of these shows is the social aspect.
 
I am pi$$ed, pi$$ed, pi$$ed! My 5:30 flight has been delayed to 9:30! :mad: By the time I get to CAF today it will be half over!

:mad::mad::mad:
 
@Ron Resnick , any thoughts from today?
I had an unexpectedly late night drinking with Ken Stevens and Ted Denney. Very, very fun but I am behind this morning on working on my first day show report.
 
FIRST DAY REPORT
