RE: T.H.E. Show, New York 2012

I certainly respect your opinion as a long time reader, but I can't agree on the SONYs unless they modified the setup or changed the model demoed from when I was there. There were no emotional connection with the music at all for me. And it wasn't as if I didn't care for the music they were playing. I closed my eyes and really tried to be transported by it, but wasn't. It didn't work. I was in the Zellaton room and while I don't know squat about that brand, or whether they're generally well received, but when they played a recording of Johnny Hartman followed by Ella Fitzgerald, I had that strong emotional connection that both I and my jazz musician son immediately felt. We were drawn in to the music and sat there for quite a while. For me that the single most important criteria for a good sounding system. Everything else is technology, not music, IMHO. The SONY's failed to do that.

Maggies, because you can never be too thin!
