This is the day when things finally got exciting for me! I had made my way to the 2nd floor trade rooms, where they actually had demo systems with music. Still, there are some display only rooms, but overall this is much better than the mostly pure audio porn I experienced in first 2 days. Some demos remained more meaningful than others, so here goes:
The Kondo & Kaiser Acoustics room treated visitors to some very nice, lush sounding music, with a very organic quality
Kaiser Acoustics were showcasing their Kawero speaker design, and Kondo tubes amps was bare naked for all to appreciated
MBL representative explaining the finer points of the junior system
While the MBL 101 X-treme big bad boy was just sitting there all quiet
Vienna Acoustics speakers demo-ed with Vincent tube electronics
Vincent produced a special version of Frank Blohbaum’s Multiplied Transconductance amplifier
More Vincent tube gear
My first “Best Sound of Show” Day 3! This system is made up of Wadax Ultimate DAC, pre amp and ARC tube mono block powering a pair of Wilson Alexia speakers. All cabling is Fono Acoustica. The sound was smooth, airy, with a rich tone. Very easy on the ears and soul. Excellent system with classical music
What’s this? Coffee machine? No Wadax phono stage, DAC & pre amp!
