Some feedback from CAF as follows...

First from Michael Lavorgna's Twittering Machines... https://twitteringmachines.com/caf-2024-old-friends/

CAF 2024: Old Friends

Gary Dews from Border Patrol and “Triode” Pete from Triode Wire Labs had a room full of gear I’ve reviewed from source to speakers.

The gear:

Living Voice R80 OB-X (from $46,875/pair) (review)
Border Patrol S20EXD Parallel Single-Ended Amplifier (starts at $22,500 without 300B tubes) (review)
Cables from Triode Wire Labs
Border Patrol DAC SE-i (starts at $1400) (review)
Innuos Statement Music Server with Next-Gen Power Supply ($26,200 w/4TB SSD storage)

I admit I didn’t spend a lot of time listening because I already have in the Barn which is a much friendlier place for gear (and people) so if you want to know how these things sound, a review beats a show report by a country mile. And while we’re here, a show report is never, ever, a review no matter who writes it. Think of the difference between a show report and a review as being like the difference between having a a sip of coffee with a stranger as opposed to dinner with a friend. Yet I know some people who walk away from coffee with a stranger thinking they know everything there is to know about them and other people who leave a room at a hifi show after a few minutes of listening thinking they know exactly what all the gear sounds like. And they’re always inevitably wrong due to the complicated nature of people and hifi.



Thanks for the coverage, Michael!
