I will be sponsoring the Al Stiefel room with some electronics from Aries Cerat and cartridge from Etsuro Urushi, but aside from setup will be attending mainly as a guest.

Who else is going this year?

See you folks there...

And may even get to talk to Mike - as he buzzes through the show at 78RPM!

Bring test music on CDR and memory stick, some even bring vinyl! Sometimes I'll make a compilation of 30-60 sec clips from several tracks. You can't get a feel for a system without hearing music you're familiar with...

If anyone wants to stop by while RMAF is going on I'm about 35 min away in Lafayette. I'll be home about an hour after RMAF is finished for the day Friday through Sunday. I can also be around Friday morning as RMAF starts at noon unless you have a press pass. Espresso drinks will be available Friday morning and beer/drinks after rmaf. :)

The speakers have 15" AE woofers, 4.5" custom Omega midrange drivers in 330 Hz Le Cleac'h horns and Fostex T500A MkII tweeters. ~102 dB efficiency, active bass <400 Hz.

Amp is a 2 chassis EL34 SET with 6SL7/6SN7 driver section with it's own power supply. LDR/6SN7 preamp. Digital server source, bring tunes however you like, I can rip/load them. If anyone wants to bring a high end source I'm all for it. ;)

PM me or email dave at zenwaveaudio.com


Just a fyi, speakers are rough prototypes meant to be tuneable for different woofers, etc. so not pretty. There will be a direct-sale model available sooner than later in the $10-15k range. Eventually, higher end models that will be sold through dealers will be rolled out.

Ciúnas Audio isolated DAC (ISO-DAC) & isolated power supply (ISO-PS) will be the front end source in the Audiokinesis room (room 2014 2nd floor Tower - innovation area) where their new speakers will be demonstrated interactively by allowing users to remotely turn on/off the rear firing space generator speakers drives.
