Hey Chris,

Thanks and we are really looking forward to BOTH shows!  8)

All,

I will have limited email access while I am away at the Montreal show, so my responses will probably be delayed.  I will be returning on Tuesday 4/17.  I will definitely get to all your messages and posts on the forum by then (hopefully sooner)!

NICE!  Looking forward to seeing you again.  We'll have some very good tunes playing.... I'm sure you'll recognize a lot of 'em, wolfy!  aa

All,

In case you are wondering "what NYC show in May?" I posted about it here  :green:

This is the Stereophile Show and it will be my first time attending it.  Luckily, it isn't too far away at all.  This is NY AudioRavers' territory!   Noo Yawk!!!  :lol:

Best regards,

Vinnie

I just made reservations at the Ritz Carlton ($130/night from yahoo.com travel!), now I can't wait to get there for the show. Should be a great weekend.

Vinnie:
I look forward to meeting and learning from you.
I am the Moderator of the Toronto Circle and founder of the Toronto Area Audio Society.  I am a native Montrealer and I can't wait to get back to my home town and experience this upcoming weekend. 
It's one thing to "meet" online - it's a complete revelation to meet Circlers in person. 
Bring pics of the baby!!

I meet Vinne and Louis at the Montreal Festival for Sound and Image (FSI) today at suite 926. Auditioned Vinnie's Signature 70s monoblocks on Omega's Max Hemps and Super 3s through his iMod IPod and his modded Oliver cd transport. The room was just right to exhibit what this system can do and surprised alot of people walking in that it was completely powered by SLA batteries. Super nice guys and was a pleasure to chat with and meet the person who built my Sig 30 ...chucks, I forgot to ask for an autograph or have a photo taken ..LoL, well there always next year !   :thumb:

Hi Guys,

It was really nice to meet all of you... thanks for stopping by!

Spirit posted about our room here (with pictures!) and I added some comments:

http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=39988.0 (Thanks, Spirit!).

Stereophile coverage of the RWA room here: http://blog.stereophile.com/fsi2007/041407redwine/ (thanks, Gary!)

Paul Candy of 6moons came with his son (13 years old) and will submit coverage to 6moons soon.  His son was a lot of fun and seemed to be having a blast.  He asked me the price for a pair of Sig 70s... that kid has good taste!  :green:   I told him if he gets straight A's on his report card, I'll hook him up!

The guys from the new site Audioxsell (a new Audiogon type of site) took some nice pics (thanks, AudioXsell team!):

Louis got a extra plug on soundstage:

I'll keep my eyes open for additional coverage. 

Great show!  :thumb:

Vinnie, great coverage! I put a link on Omega's Circle, so non-RWA customers could read about the good news too.

BTW: Which model speaker cables / ICs are you using? The ICs look like they may be 8-wire silver???

Hi Alwayswantmore,

Thanks for adding the link to the Omega circle! 

We were using the Omegaudio R-speaker cable (the 2-wire version) made by Audiopath.  The IC for the iMod was the Audiopath Silver iPod cable (8-wire silver, Eichman Silver Bullet RCA plugs).  We were also using the Audiopath 8-wire silver ICs to connect to the Sig 70s monoblocks. 

We love the Audiopath cabling  :thumb:

Best regards,

Vinnie

Vinnie,

It was my pleasure! I've already told several people about your Imod, too. One distributor I know is sending you his ipod.

When am I going to get some amps from you?? lol

AND those Super Hemps from Omega??!!
