Pacific Audio Fest

I had gone through all the rooms today.

it was lot of fun.

Half of them sounds good.

30% of them so so.

20 of them problematic.

The best sounding speakers is Genesis system driven by Merril Audio pre and power amp, source was VPI turntable.

In very large room, this huge Genesis speaker gave live sound of big band with clariry.

The most intimate and musical sound is from Kroma Julieta speaker (white one)

I had planned to attend all three days.

But I am too tired after dropping more than 40 rooms today.

I will take a day off Saturday and be back to it on Sunday.

Asylvox speaker in rather small room still sound organic and textured as excellent planar speaker.

It was pleasure to meet Bob.

I had used Apogee Duetta Sig from 1990 to 1999.

Asylvox seems to sound better than Duetta in texture and relaxed harmonics.

Full day at the show.  Lots of nice people and nice stuff.  It wasn't crowded at all but was spread out really weird.  One veder was giving out Tequila shots with dried mango..  I could of stayed longer but had to drive.

Overall Goebel system driven by CH precison amp wth Wadax source is the most authoritative and balanced sound.

But to me Genesis gave more excitement.

I will get back to Goebel again on Sunday.
