Joseph audio had the best streaming and all that was used was an older Apple TV box which had an optical connection that was connected to a streamer that impressed many with great sound from a YouTube video. YouTube video Quality is outstanding through a decent home theater system these days.
Was simple enough.
These shows are getting more ridiculous. Dealers come in with all their higher priced gear, most on loan from the manufacturers, mis-matched with other components and rooms that are not designed for sound. Very few Make money off these shows and attendance is very weak.
you have YouTube video channels taping each individual room contending how great the sound is which is all done to promote their websites which really are geared to sell their latest promoted products, it's a very difficult business and profits are very difficult to achieve. It's all nice and occasionally you hear something of interest. But the so-called eye candy of these visually stunning components is getting long in the tooth.
Much of what is on display Is very overpriced and that's not news to anyone. Absolutely ridiculous to look at a list of components when entering a room totaling $50k to $300,000 and who knows how well they've been matched. It just doesn't sound very good most of the time. The interconnects, Power cords and speaker cables, it's hard to comprehend.
Look forward to the next show
