Just a quick reminder, so nobody can say I forgot.

We have three weeks left and I will post all the pictures just like I do it every year.
Let's keep all the conversations, questions, likes and dislikes here.

yes, and that is the way they like it as well. I always paid at the door.

Thanks PRELUDE

I was looking at their site and could only see information about purchasing tickets on-line. Looks like a good opportunity to check out a few turntables if I can get down to it - must have camera ready

Be well...

Why?

I was reading an article on-line a little while ago and it was discussing that the demographics of HD buyers were in and around their 50's and that they were looking at options to entice more "younger" consumers to purchase HD products. Ironically, I just got back from a snoop at our local HD dealer

If I do go to TAVES, it is solely to listen and look at audio equipment and not to gawk at bikes.

Awesome bike rebook

I was over looking at a Fat Boy Low this morning but I am more inclined to purchase a TT

Be well...

Even though I am not into bikes and cars but I am sure it would be fun ride for anyone who can enjoy it at any time. But a nice TT for a Serious music lover like yourself would be a great investment for life.

And here is the rest of the show.

Sorry if I missed something because I have to work tomorrow and will not be able to make it to the show again.

Some show feedback.

Ironically, I think that Bryston may have the best sound I heard this evening ...

Caught Ariel Ramirez's "Missa Criolla" and a bit of Patricia Barber when I was in there, and it sounded exceptionally well sorted out and coherent. (Model T's driven by 28b's and fully digital front end) I very seldom form judgements on the first day of show sound, but the Bryston room sure was working well.

Some More feedback

The Bryston room was by far my favourite room of the show.

Second was the Focal/Devialet room which was playing Radiohead when I walked in. A very nice change from all the bad jazz-lite audio dealers seem to favour.

Disappointments were the Reference 3a room demoing the new Nefes. I didn't like their sound one bit and I own a pair of Episodes.

James,

there is one pic that shows a tube amp and black Bryston mini-T speakers, correct?

did they ask you to borrow the speakers to demo their amp??

al.

p.s.: nice pictures, Prelude. thanx!
