I booked flight and hotel reservation for Axpona 2024 last night.

This is my first time to Axpona.

My prime target will be

1. Aris Cerat which I had not listend myself.

How good is Aurora and theire Dac and elextronice?

2. MBL

I like theiir 101E which sounds very musical but wish to listen to therir larger model.

3. Martin Logan

It had been a while since I listened to Martin Logan, thus want to have update on their electrostatic speakers.

4. Clarisis speakeer

I wnat to find out how good this planar speaker is.

5. Wof von Langa

I wish to get a filed coild speakers most likely original or replica of Western Electric.

But I als want to find out how good it is.

I had also got very good impression of Songer Audio field coil units.

It will be nice if Voxactive also display field coil unts.

I have serious interest in this cross talke cancelling unit and Dac.

I wish to find out the effect myself.


There could be unexpected suprise as ohter audio show. ;)


I had lived in Chicago from 1998 to 2001 whete my son was born.

I had enjoyed nice audio shops over there.

I bought my Apogee Duetta Sig driven by Krell KSA 150.

It is one of the most musical audio system through my 45 years of Audiophile.

@ozzy 

 

I  booked early to save trip cost.

 

How is your Clarisis speaker going?

 

Thomas

@mschott 

 

I understand that show condition may not be optimal for some speakers.

 

Nevertheless, I could find out valuable information through it.

 

I enjoy attending audio show.

@ozzy 

 

It is complete waste of time and money to change speaker every year.

 

You shall use the speaker for at least 3-4 yearas or for rest of your life.

 

It is still good idea to go there to compare ths sound of Clarisis in your room and the display there.

 

If you like the sound in your room better, it is fine.

 

But if the sound of the show is better than that in your room, you can find why,

 

Room accoustics, better front component as Dac or better pre and power amplifier.

 

Good luck!

 

I may see you there next April.

Without optimal room accoustics, some system may sound bad, nevertheless you may be able to find some good soundging room Axpona.

 

As Ozzy mentioned, you may get temptation to change your major components, but if you refrain from spending too much money, it would be fun.

@jaytoy

 

Thanks a lot for your hospitality.

 

I sent you a message.

 

It would be nice if Ozzy could join us.

Sad ending. :(

 

I had food mild poisoning before driving to the airpot which is twoo hours drive.

 

Although I could take Uber instead of driving, I took a safe side.

 

Thus I will not attend Axpona this year.

 

The only good news is that I feel well now.

 

 I wish other members have good time on it.
