COHERENT AUDIO
The Coherent Audio room was brimming with fine gear, starting with its own speakers, of course, and encompassing a number of Allnic Audio products, Baetis Audio, Kuzma, and Saturn Audio.
LEMAY AUDIO
The Lemay Audio room sported some of the most beautiful equipment at the show and, no doubt, some of the most expensive as well. I also found Francois Lemay, the proprietor and founder, a kind and gracious gentleman, with a fabulous aesthetic.
LENBROOK - DALI & NAD
Beat! There was a hard, driving beat in the Lenbrook room via the NAD and DALI system, that got one’s foot tapping pretty quickly. I would call this the ‘Adrenaline System No. 1.” Wasn’t able to sit for a short ‘show’ review, but boy did the gear get the blood flowing and it looked exceptional.
SONIC ARTISTRY
The Sonic Artistry room featured the MERGING TECHNOLOGIES Streaming DAC, the darTZeel Audio LHC-208 MKII DAC, Streamer, and Integrated Amplifier, the STENHEIM Alumine 3SE special edition Speakers, and the SEISMON Active Isolation Bases.
B&W/CLASSÉ
This was another quite impressive room which featured reference-level components from B&W and Classé. The system was built via the Classé Delta Pre preamplifier, the Classé Delta Monoblock amplifiers, the B&W 801 D4 speaker…
GERSHMAN/EON/ORACLE
The Gershman/EON room for its assemblage of components was rather impressive. The Gershman/EON system was composed of the EON Boson Integrated Mono Amplifier, the EON Tachyon DAC, the Oracle Delphi MkVI Signature turntable…
TRI-ART AUDIO
I have come to know the Tri-Art Audio components via reviews of its amplifiers and its OPEN 5 speakers.
MOON BY SIMAUDIO
It was most definitely the liveliest and most ‘real’ sound at the show and it was also a whole lot of fun.
Zidel Marketing - MoFi, Rich Zidel
The Zidel Marketing/MoFi system was comprised of the the Dr. Feickert Woodpecker Turntable, the HiFi Rose RS 150B Network Streamer, the HiFi Rose RA 180 integrated amplifier, the Whest TWO.2 phono stage, BAT Audio VK-56SE power amplifier, and the SourcePoint 10 speakers.
L’ATELIER-AUDIO, SAMUEL FURON
The L’Atelier-Audio system was comprised of the Aqua La Scala DAC, as feed by computer, the Miyajima EC-5 preamplifier, the KORA TB200 stereo amplifier, and the DIPTYQUE DP 160 Signature electrostatic speakers.
