Neat Audio's ULTIMATUM XL10 speakers:

Conrad Johnson. Boy, this looks like the front entrance of a building!



The business end:




I like the use of a small form factor Shuttle PC as a music server:

Focus Audio speakers and electronics. Being the nosy type at these shows , I walked up and touched the amp in the front to see how warn it was running. As soon as I touched it I heard relays clicking and music stopped! A panicked employee ran over and gave me the look of "you blew my electronics!" I apologized and said that I just touched the thing. He changed inputs, played with controls, etc., nothing would bring it back to life. More dirty looks came my way as I kept apologizing. Then a hard power reset and music played again! Static electricity can be an issue but I did not feel any. I say they need to test the sensitivity of the box to these issues or else, only sell it where it is humid .



PS Audio gear was in the back. Boy, that thing has such nice displays!

Nice industrial design!




Someone else who must have a brother that runs an aluminum factory beside Bolder :

[amirm]

Cardas Audio. This is another guy who must own a materials company. I tried to pick up those spades with one hand and barely lifted it! Are these real parts???

[amirm]

Air Tight??? Someone really called themselves this name?
