I have coverage from each day in each room as well as wrap up videos. It was totally different from Munich but cool to see things you never see normally... Just stuff from hardcore audiophile passions... Like this
Lol... How can I give the wrong impression when I literally filmed quasi streaming the entire show from my perspective. You don't have to take my word for it, just watch and see for yourself.
You may not have much experience with shows or the industry, but this is far more business oriented...
I plan to attend. I was going to do a room with the 3mA guys in Houston, but they have conflicts. I'll have the Bacch ADIO with me for in-home demos while in Dallas (first come first serve and limited availability left), but I also may partner with any room who wants to have the Bacch in their...
I think you do a good job of highlighting some issues people have with certain recording techniques, but you're still looking at it through the lense of your personal preferences as well as false comparisons and benchmarks.
You keep wanting a live concert to evolve in front of you regardless of...
There was a lot from Capital Audio Fest, but be on the lookout for articles coming soon from The Absolute Sound. Andrew Quint I believe is now using the Bacch for all reviews going forward and Edgar will have a big article soon...plus reports from others like Robert Harley.
I have many...
Interesting comment, but I think your experience of "exaggerated 3D" is easily explainable since you mentioned your benchmark is a "live concert". The Bacch doesn't seek to recreate a live concert....unless that's what was intended in the recording. Most recordings are studio based and not the...
I do have a lot of videos already on the Bacch. Right now I just have the Bacch4Mac, but it's been upgraded to the full pro status that includes the headphone and many other additions.
I know someone asked about the headphone module and it's impressive. Really freaky in a good way. You...
I have a comprehensive video (over 40 minutes) that covers virtually everything that stood out to me. The Arion were very good and reminded me of a pair of speakers I owned in the past (and still own). I address that in the upcoming video which I think I will release tomorrow or Friday. If...
I have over 60 videos from the Pacific Audio Fest and more to come. Tomorrow I'll release my wrap-up video with "best rooms", but nearly everything was better than most shows because of a few factors:
1. The attendance was really light. Thus, the noise floor was low and you could get the prime...
Fans of Aries Cerat will certainly appreciate this interview. He provides great insights into the designs of both their electronics and speakers. Very innovative and state-of-the-art brand that truly delivers a "high-end" product and experience...
I don't know exactly. He made a deal that included a custom preamp too which has just been completed. I'll have a video soon.
It was very reasonable for the performance and customization... Well less than dealer and distributor markup pricing.
If you call Steve directly I'm sure he will tell you.
I wasn't at the CAF, but this show seemed on par with many other crowds I've seen at shows over 20 years.
You'll have spurts where the rooms are packed and spurts where there's plenty of room.
It may not have been recorded attendance, but the # of rooms were less, so it made it pretty similar...
