Hm... looks really quite British over there - in more ways than the weather!

Naah Justin - it's pure Aussie......That drab weather down there though - that's another thing!

Who exactly spent untold sums of money on a CD transport? They're using $30 DVD-ROMs here.......

Cawsey Audio

This has to take the cake for the worst sound at the show. It wasn't helped by the music. Squealing, high-pitched, ear-bleeding noise. I was just waiting for smoke to start coming from the tweeters. Then he turned the volume down so his tweeters didn't blow up. That's when I left.

Goodness gracious, those speakers would give children nightmares. Thanks for the effort.

Kyron Audio

More Aussie audio. This picture is too bad to post, but I'm posting it anyway because it is interesting. These are open baffle / dipole speaker system (Model: Gaia). Eight channels of amplification are included, as is DAC. Website is probably best for more pics - www.kyronaudio.com.au

There was great sound coming from this room.

The second reason I'm posting is especially for George........yes, even in the show environment, some exhibitors were making an effort to keep the servers out of the listening space.............

 

[bzr]

I see they are using the printer mod too!

Before I get off my high-horse

Before I get off my high-horse, more servers acoustically hidden from the listening space........

Kudos to the exhibitors that tried......but frankly it doesn't make any difference in a show environment!

Audel / Leben / Raysonic / Music Hall

Attention holding, small-scale sound coming from the little Audel CG618s.

Nad / psb

Not too bad for a lower-end room.

Aaron / NAD

I like most Australian audio, but Aaron speakers are not amongst them. Don't know why - they are quite popular amongst the lower end of the market.

Weston / Von Schweikert

Manley / Audio Physic

A good reminder of why Audio Physic is the best thing this side of electrostats. And something very interesting here......see next post.

Speaker Interface?????

Anyone have any experience with these? These were connected between the Manley amps and the Audio Physics.......I'm not convinced.......and check out the price!!!
