[Albert Von Schweikert]

Hello Fellow Audiophiles,

Von Schweikert Audio is pleased to announce that we will have three rooms at RMAF with a nice assortment of our speakers:


VR-100XS in room #550 with Constellation Audio. This room will also feature the UHA tape deck and second generation master tapes.

VR-44 Aktive with YFS in room #542.  YFS is the company that builds the most incredible music server.  They will also be using Constellation gear.

VR-33 in room  #9013  with PS Audio.  Paul of PS Audio told me that their system will feature their best products and will rock!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder what amp Paul McGowan will be using, since he is struggling with his latest, (class D) design?

[es347]

..so, are class D amps as bad as many portray them as being?    They sure don't weigh very much..

[ASMAN]

Wish I was going!!! It sounds very exciting.
Maybe next year.

No not really. There are a number of very good sounding class D amps. Many have shed the fuzzy, hirsute top ends that characterized early models.

I like my Bel Canto a lot...no hairiness here, clean as can be.

Luckily I still have a hirsute top end.  Lots of old guys my age are denudate up top....bada bing Jack!

Should be interesting to finally hear the 100's.  I only hope the rooms are set up better than last year - I have a hunch they will be, as it would be a shame to not have the 100's shine in their first Denver appearance.   It was hearing the 9's in a well set up room in Denver years ago that led me to purchase my 7's, totally unseen and unheard.  That's worked out pretty well...

They will Harve, it will be nice to see you too.

Especially with analog.

The 2011 RMAF featured a VSA room with the VR5 Anniversary MkIIs driven by the lowly Jolida amps (monoblocks as I recall) and a UHA RtoR front end.  He wasn't playing those pricey Tape Project tapes but rather recordings he had made off vinyl at 15ips.  It really did sound great and as I recall that even the ubiquitous Jon Valin liked that room a lot...for whatever that's worth...and he was right for once.  I can't imagine what the VR100s will sound like with Constellation Audio amps and the UHA tape deck.  This is exciting stuff folks 

By the way, I frequent another audio forum where flagship speaker discussions never include the VSA9s/11s/100s.     Maybe this time these audio elitists will see the light.  Then again maybe not
