What is new with the Memory Player?

I heard the Nova Physics in the Scaena speaker room at RMAF. Although I was not able to hear my own music (they ripped it for me but couldn't find it in the system the next day) the memory Player/ASR/Scaena system sounded quite good. I cannot compare it to anything else I heard becuase everything (room, treatment, equipment, music, etc.) were different. Unfair to compare. I also did not hear the VRS. I heard other great digital players, including the EAR Acute, the Modwright Transporter, the AMR and the Linn Klimx, and all sounded very nice in their own setups. Impossible to say that the Memory Player was better or worse.

I agree with Tembrady about the Scaena room sound. At least I can say that the MP 32 bit unit exists. I heard the present VRS also, but both it and the MP were on systems that I did not know. Both sounded good, but both paled after I heard the Feastrex speakers on Sunday.

I also heard the new Accustic Arts Tube dac, the AMR, the Exemplar/Shanling CD-3000, and the Einstein prototype player. The MP alone whetted my appetite given what I heard. Maybe, however, it was a result of my prior expectations.

TBG, Feastrex where? In the Lamm room (Lotus)? Yeah, they sounded good, but I spent only a few min in there. I was due downstairs to meet a buddy.

Tedmbrady, yes in the Lotus room, but the electronics was not broken in until Sunday. It is a shame that none of the demonstrators can ever use equipment that is broken in. I just don't understand how anyone can be impressed with anything on the first or second days. Just when the shows are about to close, everything is beginning to sound right.

I take it the shootout never happened at RMAF...
