It just after lunch and I am trying to make up for lost time. More than 900 exhibitors in 4 days is quite a daunting task. Most seasoned media guys attending the show knows where all the good stuff are, and make it a point to cover those first. Rookies to MOC like me would wander thru the ground floor scheme stands, which may take up almost 2 days if one does not manages time well. It’s the final day and I am at the 2nd floor rooms, which is where all the goodies are. So much to see & hear, so little time left.

TW Acoustic turn table source, Cessaro tube amps(OEM by Ypsilon) and TAD driver based horn speaker sounds impressive
Also on display, the latest TW Acoustic Raven AC turn table
Martin Logan flagship speakers Neolith, driven by Constellation amps are the “bomb”. The standing only room was full
The new Mark Levinson No.526 pre amp, I should really start saving for it now
The FiiO R7 is to me at least, a first of its kind. A product that merges a player, digital to analogue convertor, preamplifier and headphone amplifier. All of this is crammed into a uniquely designed chassis that would standout while blending in seamlessly on a desktop setup. Offered in both black and white, the FiiO R7 is by far the most fascinating product currently available in the FiiO catalogue.
