Update from AXPONA:
We had a pretty busy day today, unusual for a Friday at the show. Foot traffic was steady all day and we were able to hold quite a few demos with very attentive and responsive audiences. As the pre-production Wells Audio Commander preamp has only two inputs we ran the demo for just two DACs. So we let the audience pick one of the other models to compare with the Terminator without telling them which one was playing. After a couple of minutes playing the same musical passage we asked them to describe any differences they heard. Amazingly most of them can describe the differences readily even though they were subtle, as all the Denafrips have a familiar "house sound". We had fun doing the demos and it seems that the audience did too.
We expect a very busy day today and plan to run these demos as planned on the hour but will accommodate with impromptu on-demand demos if the room is full and the audience is game.
So show up with your best ears for a fun time.
