Seriously, how much food did you guys eat??!  I count about twelve bowls worth...And I want to see the video of Vinnie consuming the soup with those chopsticks...or are they straws?  Looks like you had fun and ate well.  Color me jealous all the way around.

The three of us ordered a mini feast after not eating all day at the show. 
The food there was awesome and really hit the spot!  My soup came out so hot (temperature) that I decided to use my chopsticks to
pull out some of the meat and veggies in there to have first.  My glasses were fogging up!  And spicy side dishes of kimchi
and the like...

I think the wait staff was laughing at us for ordering so many entrees.  It's just soup, right? 

Until I impressed her with my Korean. (I learned a few things from my days studying Tang Soo Do)

Waiiiiiit a second.  All of that food for just the two of you?  I thought the pic was just of the two of you but there were others at the table just not in the pic.     The more I hear about Vinnie the more I like him.   

It was the three of us (Greg, Pete, and myself).  That would have been wayyyyy too much food for just two people  .

All,

Ron Brenay of New Record Day (who is also in the process of reviewing LIO) conducted an
after-hours interview in our room at T.H.E. Show Newport Beach 2016:

https://youtu.be/DCU9czenRoY

I'm joined by Greg Roberts of Volti Audio and Triode Pete of Triode Wire Labs, and I'm really thankful
for all the time and effort that Ron put into this one!

It's about 47 min. long, and something that you can listen to (without needing to actually watch it, as we are just
sitting down and chatting the whole time).  Maybe you will enjoy it and you'll get something out of it.  Maybe
you will use it to help you fall asleep.   

I'm the goofy looking guy wearing the glasses - Lol! 

Hope you like it!

Vinnie

Uh, that's why you should have Alexis do them.   

[Vinnie R.]

Sorry, she's too pregnant to want to do anymore audio shows with
me this year.      

We'll be blessed with a baby girl in November!   

I was serious when I said last year that 2016 was going to be
an exciting year!!!

Congrats to the both of you!  Now you need to get an audio show gofer helper. 

Sounds like the LIO is going to have an extra letter.

Congrats to you both Vinnie and Alexis.  I am sure this daughter will bring you guys even more happiness and inspire additional audio innovation

Congratulations Vinnie! Wow 4 girls 3 girls...Have you picked a name yet? I'm thinking a name that begins with N so your next product is the Vinnie Rossi Lion...Roar!

Nice!   

Should AC name that baby?   

[Vinnie R.]

Thanks, guys!

No, no - not 4 girls.  This will be my 3rd (and final!  ).

I like that!

Not sure I'll be given the OK on this one 

Thanks, again!

Congrats Vinnie!

[LARRY KYOTO]

素晴らしい！I could recommend some Japanese names starting with "N".

*The sushi bar I chose will have to wait till next year...

[jtwrace]

素晴らしい！

Great!




Is Google Translate correct? 

[LARRY KYOTO]

Great!




Is Google Translate correct?

'Wonderful'... but in the range of 'great' too. Cheers!

Long ago and far away, Vinnie was modding TA2024 amps and was very gracious in that he shared his knowledge with me.   

It is absolutely uplifting to see Vinnie growing and producing fine, high-end products.  He had faith in himself to leap into the fray of audio manufacturing.  This IS the American dream where hard work and intelligence can make a difference.

Rock on, Vinnie.

We have two boys that are 2yrs and the other is 9 months.  I expose them to music every day via my guitar playing as well as what they're listening to.  Not much guitar playing, but a -lot- of prog rock on the LIO and Pulsars.  They love it and really want to participate so I hope that continues into the future.  I tried to find a good photo of them both but came up shooting blanks.  Next week hopefully.

More from T.H.E. Newport 2016:

Finally, on the always personal and subjective category of "what I would buy if I could," my favorite speakers were the Volti Audio Vittora. As always, this is the result of a nice sound chain and in this room the combination involved the outstanding Vinnie Rossi LIO directly heated triode (DHT) Class-A preamp, an Acoustic Signature Triple-X turntable with an Ortofon 2M Black and TA-1000 12" tonearm, all connected with Triode Wire Labs cables.

Vinnie Rossi explaining its LIO modular design and the Directly Heated Triode Linestage (LIO DHT PRE) Class-A magic!

My impressions were totally positive. Balanced, smooth, dynamic and turned even more impressive by the addition of the extended low-frequency (ELF) cabinet, which removes the unwanted burden from the two top horn sections (each with a midrange horn and a tweeter horn), and the two folded bass horns. After the session, I would have ordered one if I could. In fact, I would order the complete setup, as it was so totally engaging. No doubt, the most accomplished demo room at the show.[/u]"
