Greetings from Upstae New York

**Bill Demars** · 04-29-2010, 10:06 AM

I am a longtime music lover and brand-new audio dealer based just outside of Albany, New York. About 2.5 hours north of New York City.
I came across this forum through my friend Charles King of King/Cello fame and I'm happy I did.
I have a nice 20' X 22' listening space that is almost complete. I'm still sorting out absorption options.
I carry only select brands that I have personally listened to and would want to continue to listen to, such as Acoustic Zen, Hanss Acoustics, Triode Corporation of Japan, Origin Live tonearms, King/Cello phono/tape stage.
I live with my wife Sandy in East Greenbush, New York with our four cats.
I am also the Director of Tennis at a local country club.

Bill welcome and thanks for joining the forum. We welcome and look forward to your contributions

Bill, which lines of gear do you carry

**Bill Demars** · 04-29-2010, 10:38 AM

Thank you Steve.
I carry:

Acoustic Zen Crescendo loudspeakers
Acoustic Zen cables
Tri 845SE integrated amplifier
Hanss T-30 turntable
Origin Live Encounter tonearm
King/Cello tape/phono stage
Mapleshade racks, stands and turntable tweaks
Mapleshade isolation feet

I ended up with Acoustic Zen and Tri after hearing their room at RMAF in 2009. It was one of the last rooms I hit, and to me, it was the best sounding by a substantial margin. Very coherent from top to bottom, and full bandwidth with no bloat or brightness.
Plus Robert and Santy are just great guys and extreme perfectionists.
