RE: Kudos to Art Dudley

Throwback,

I completely agree with your description of the Deja-Vu room. The liveliness of that system set it well apart from most of the other rooms at the show. The sound was indeed room-filling and HUGE. What is more amazing is that this sense of size and scale was achieved by a MONO system. Yes, there were two speakers in the system, but, the amp driving them was a single mono amp. The amp was built with a lot of old parts, but, it is a completely new design and build by the Italian builder Aldo D'Urso (the person who manned that room most of the time). This is a truly exotic amp that utilizes two mercury vapor rectifiers and WE 271 tubes in a pushpull configuration. The linestage was another Aldo design/build. The speakers are also a very recent build (finished the day before the show), again using vintage drivers and crossover parts. Old school equipment, particularly when reconditioned or repurposed in new builds can be quite amazing.
