Having visited the NY audio show I can say it was a major disappointment. First, there were not enough name players there. Second, they crammed the exhibitors to close together and the hallways and rooms were cramped. It was hard to relax and just listen to music. The Newport Beach show of a couple of years ago was night and day better than this show. Thank God you could still enjoy Manhattan!

Stereophile report from Jim Austin. |
Robyatt Audio. Best of show again. I will never tire of Quads, this time with Butler Nomad monos which Robin says amplifies the character of the 300B tube. It was magical. Also I thought Vitalis audio had one of the most interesting displays I’ve ever seen with excellent sound. Tal, the designer and manufacturer (by hand) was a blast to talk with. He voices every loudspeaker by ear and he has a great ear. Check out Vitalis audio’s website to see what I’m talking about. It may seem bizarre, but the room sounded great. The Martin Logan room sounded very good as well. However, the turnout for dealers was awful as were some of the rooms. I have to think this will be the last year of the NY audio show in Manhattan. |
