New addition after CAPFEST

[Elliot G.]

Bending Wave is thrilled to be representing Riviera Audio .We have the AFM 100SE Mono Hybrid pure class A mono blocks and the APL-01Se tube all class A preamp coing back to our showroom from Capfest. This is really special electronics and needs to be experienced. I can say with no hesitation that this years room was the best sound we have ever produced at any US show. We again are proud and thrilled to be representing the brand.
We also are bring back the new Nordost Q Base reference power distribution .system as I am very happy with its set up and performance.

First day with fresh pair of the incredible Noblesse in the room

INitial reaction is really positive . I placed the speakers approx where the Marquis was to get them playing and to start running some music tthrough them before I start serios tuning. They sound really good even for right out of the box and sitting in those boxes for weeks.
THere is an imediate sense of ease and more , just more . Should be fun. This is the first time I have had them with the Riviera's in my speace. I look foward to the trip.

Day two after letting it play all night and the speakers are opening up nicely. Did a few little adjustments tot he positioning, still on the sliders. The system is already making me nuts. The size, force, power and you are there feeling is just bigtime FUN. I have a few things that I will do next week once they have at least 100 + hours and I have incoming Goebl power cords for the Riv mono's and the Akasa cables should finally arrive next week for the Wadax Dac.
Sometimes time and patience is a really good teacher and sometimes you learn something new
