Genesis at the New York Audio Show - April 12 - 15, 2013

Bad, very bad (dancing). We needed to do the Texas Two Step. IDEA? A Texas Two Step workshop with Gen 2.2 Jrs. Get the whole room a stomping. It will go viral and we'll all be (in)famous. Never mind.

Or Gangnam Style???

Well, at least I achieved what I tried to do - to create a sound that you don't need to sit down in the sweet spot to enjoy. As Ariel Bitran wrote "... there was something magical about this sound, and there was a sweet-spot to be found everywhere."

More coverage for the Genesis room - by Scot Hull (Part Time Audiophile here on the forum) for The Absolute Sound. He featured us in both Part 1 and Part 2 of the New York Audio Show coverage:

It was a system that made him remember that he actually liked music.

He says:

Delicious. I came by this room six times throughout the weekend, mainly because of the great tunes Gary kept on the ‘table—and the simply outstanding sound he was getting in this room. Auspicious beginnings!

He must have been talking about this album which we played several times......

The sound is pretty horrible and I seriously can't imagine how this video was done, but you can see how the room fills up when we played "non-audiophile-approved" music. First starting with Swedish House Mafia and then Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Could it have been someone with a pair of Google Glasses?? It looks like the camera was on top of one of my speakers.

Gary-You were right-the audio quality is horrible, even by YouTube standards. Frankie Goes to Hollywood just keeps cutting out and clipping. Maybe we should have a contest on WBF to make a recording of Frankie Goes to Hollywood and post it to our forum and have people vote on who made the best recording. I think it would be a serious challenge of systems and recording ability.

This will be fun.....

We'll have to disqualify Bruce Brown though Or you could set some rules - like it has to be a hand-held camera, iPhone, etc. Is an external microphone allowed?

Gary-YouTube will be the great equalizer so I say bring whatever you have to the table and let the chips fall where they may.
