Come Visit Us at T.H.E. SHOW Newport Beach 2015 in Room 1144
« on: 11 May 2015, 03:15 pm »
The Newport Beach show is coming up quickly and I wanted to extend an invitation to all of you who will be there to make a point of coming to visit our room (1144).

We have a really nice line up and will be showing our Lite 7 DAC, which is the new entry level to our directly heated triode output stage line, along with some lovely Salk speakers, a Wells Audio Inamorata Signature and Danacables.

The Lite 7 delivers the lions share of what the Big 7 has to offer and includes our universally praised DSD128 model at an introductory price of $5250+ shipping.   :thumb:

Look forward to seeing you guys there!

Fred A.

Nice.  I'll be at The Show and will drop by and have a listen to the Lite 7.

Hey Fred, do you know what type of Salk speakers will be showing with the Lite 7?

And is there a link to the show with dates and who the vendors are?

Just saw it, the last time I looked the vendors list was not updated . I thought Vapor was going...

Sounds like a great show!

The show Lite 7 will be a "one of a kind" since it will have our world class Volume control w/remote specifically built to wow folks at THE SHOW in Newport 5/28-5/31

Nothing "lite" about this DAC, it is our new benchmark for price/performance ratio.

We are selling this " one off"  DAC (with remote VC) for $5950 including shipping in North America.

Very true, Shawn.  We will even have Danacables...  I'll send you a playlist and you can be with us in spirit, rocking out remotely. :thumb:

Likewise Fred!

This will be my first audio show so I'm looking forward to hearing what I've been reading about for some time now.

How would you characterize the vibe of this show compared to that of RMAF or AXPONA?

The Show at Newport Beach will be different this year since it is being held at a new hotel - the Hotel Irvine.  In the past, the event was spread over two adjacent hotels. 
Looking forward to it!

Does the Lite 7 you are using support 2A3 tubes or just 45 tubes?

All of the same output tubes are supported as the Big 7, but rectification is solid state.

Its the same circuit as the Big 7 and Golden Gate with a much more affordable (but still excellent) parts selection.

Nope. We showed with that a few weeks ago at AXPONA and will probably have one at RMAF if we do that this year

Our Lite 7 is no slouch and its too good not to get a chance to be the bell of the ball.

Gentle reminder for those of you hitting the Newport Show to swing by our room and check out our Lite 7.  I'm still an hour out on the plane, but our room partners who are already there and optimizing setup tell me the sound is divine!   :thumb:

Yes indeed.  Dropped by the Lampizator room at The Show on Thursday.  They were playing a Big 7 - not the Lite 7.  Was sounding very nice!

On Friday the room switched over to the Lite 7.  There are rewards to returning to the room the next day!  :)

Here is a picture from the pre-show on Thursday with the Big 7 before the Lite 7 was inserted.
