Awesome Charles. As brick and mortar dealers fall by the way side, I see this as being the business model of the future. Audiophiles representing a few brands in their home on an appointment basis.  :thumb:

Wonderful news!  Good looking brands too.

Really like the home based idea.  I've never had the right home/location to pull it off.  A nearby guy did it about 25 years ago but made the mistake of quitting his 'real' job and opening a B&M store that involved overhead and employee costs.

Charles, Wishing you much success! I'll have a pair of Rythm Bhaavas in for review soon, I see you have the Qualiton tube gear from Hungary that Mark Sossa used very successfully with the Bhaavas at 2017 CAF, is this one of your best matches for them, or are other amps even more synergistic with the Rythms?

  Yes we had a great sound at CAF, thank you. The Audio Hungary Qualiton integrated  A50I with 50W was a perfect match. We use the Qualiton A20i with the reference Saadhanas from Rethm. Cannot wait for the debut of the Qualiton SET mono blocks to be debuted at Axpona 2018. See ya there. Thanks.

The Innuous server lineup is both beautiful looking and superb sounding, made me a believer in how much a server affects the music.

Agreed - we tested the Innuos Zen and Zenith Mk2 and I was quite surprised with the improvement in sound. The company is first rate as well. I met them at Axpona 2018. They are based in Portugal.

You have made some terrific choices in the lines you carry Charles, the Rethm Maarga V2 speakers at AXPONA were sensational driven by Innuos, Formula, and  Qualiton, synergistic combo.

  Innuos will be showing their new Phoenix USB re-clocker at RMAF in the YG room. Innuos will do a direct comparison to their Statement music server and a Zenith mk3 with Phoenix.  Designed to be used with any USB DAC as well as fill the gap between Zenith mk3 and Statement editions.
US price approx. $3200.
If you go let us know your reaction to what you heard. ENJOY the show.

  Sorry missed the show this year due to Family obligations. CAF 20190 was loaded with INNUOS music servers. The new Phoenix USB re-clocker along with the ZEN series is worth taking a serious look at.  We have also added QLN speakers and Vinnie Rossi to our line.  Phoenix will be shipping in Nov pre-order and get a good deal. We will supply a FREE TWL USB cable with  purchase.  Combo deals available.
