RE: CAS Day 2

All I can say is that I'm glad I'm back home spinning vinyl on my system. I did the whole show in three hours and there wasn't much that impressed me a whole lot other than physically and monetarily.

The Sound Lab room was nice until the music became louder and then it all compressed together.

The big Usher speakers were fairly nice on Rouge Audio amps.

The Sony speaker room sounded much better when they played the Clearaudio table and JC3 preamp than when playing the digital server.

I liked the Pear Audio Blue turntable, but I'm not a fan of Dynaudio speakers. They were playing the Kid Thomas table, though they identified it as the Kid Howard, if I'm not mistaken. I'd buy the Thomas, but it's out of my price range at the moment thanks to a new Sony projector. No....I take that back. It's still too expensive for me. But I do want one.

The Robin Hood was on the other end of the room with Triangle speakers, but I didn't get to see it in operation as they didn't have a phono stage for it at the moment.

I poked my head into every room, but it really doesn't take but a minute to tell good sound from mediocre sound after being to dozens of shows over the years.

Not really wanting to go back and hear anything in particular a second time, I decided to beat the traffic of the 49'ers game and head south.



See ya. Dave
