Great job with the pictures Steve....Much appreciated.

Love the pics. The plumbers crack photo early in the series is pretty funny Steve...

I was hoping someone would notice that

Buttcrack resonance control, never thought of that one. Available and cheap for the average aging audiophile.

One of the best sounds at the show

Great job as usual, Steve. But does this mean I need to get a couple of those Triode amps for my new speakers

 

[Steve Williams]

The amps were spectacular. Do you own the speakers cuz they were wonderful to hear

Arrived a few days ago

Looks like you missed this room over at the Hyatt, did anyone get a chance to hear this system?

 

[Steve Williams]

I did miss it as I just ran out of time

 

[mep]

I heard it briefly while I was at the Hyatt and it didn't leave a lasting impression. Possibly if I would have been able (or willing) to listen to it longer I would have a different opinion. I don't normally think of tube based systems as being bright sounding, but this is the only memory I have during the short time I heard this system. Take it with a grain of salt though.

Thanks, Steve

Great pictures Steve - it was nice to find the show was much bigger than I could expect. Did you manage to listen to the SoundLab/MSB system?

 

[Steve Williams]

One other thing which I forgot to mention and cannot go unforgotten. The very famous Charles King was at the WBF dinner and he and I bonded immediately as we were trying to decide which one of us is older

 

[jazdoc]

Not 'older' Steve...'mature'

 

[jtinn]

Not 'older' Steve...'mature'

No Marc, definitely older

 

[Steve Williams]

Hey JT at least I have hair on my head unlike you

 

[DaveyF]

Great pics Steve...thanks. The poor little arm and cart in post 9 ( VPI TT ) in the Focal, Cambridge, VPI, Pro-ject and Gold Sound room looks very sad!!

 

[audioline]

Thank you very much for a very interesting report

 

[MylesBAstor]

Lotta VPI tables in those pictures.

But many show attendees were wondering why Bob Graham didn't bring the Tech Das to arguably one of the biggest North American consumer audio shows? Showing the table at CES is one thing but one would think Bob would want to let audiophiles have a listen. That is unless that isn't in his business plan.

I figure he's busy trying to get the Phantom Elite finalized. It's been delayed again. The Air Force Two is launching next month. I'll be there and get pics for my WBF buddies.
