Did you ever hear exquisite electronics at a show??

Here’s something that has puzzled me.

Most audio shows are crap sounding. At best, I can think of a handful of rooms I could even sit in. Anyone who goes to these has heard systems in the $100k range or higher, and ... honestly, did you ever hear a system at a show which was so good you bought the electronics after?

No wrong answers. I just want to know who you der... er, perceptive individuals are and how you coped. :-)

Best,

I can agree with Millercarbon on this one.  

When i hear a setup that sounds good the next task is to ask questions, do some research and try to determine  why that particular combination sounded the way it did.

Most expensive systems at shows or at dealers do little to wow me to the point where I'd prefer them to my own.

In fact, I'm amazed for what passes as acceptable.  I understand hotel rooms and noisy power are not conducive to extracting the best from equipment. I have found that with a few exceptions,  rooms using turntables sound better.
