Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh

Southwest audio show apparently was a big hit and a great place for audio.

It's nice to see Jay is taking an interest in McIntosh amplifiers. He has a 2 boxes in his lab containing MC 901 dual mono amplifiers that can be used to biamp lots of things including speakers , a tube/solid state amplifier. He promises a review sometime soon.

Additionally he's got brand new speakers and we don't know what they are because they are Hidden behind acoustical panels waiting to be unveiled sometime by Thanksgiving.

Jay predicts his brand will be bigger than southwest audio show.  Jays audio show coming to a Texas town near you. 

Looking forward to all the excitement.

Before, when he was just White Camaro SS,  I used to read some of his posts and I’d kind of wonder in the back of my mind how all his stuff sounded.  No that he’s on YouTube, I find it hard to get through an entire video. 
But I guess that’s just me.

Moving to TX.....

I remember what our RE agent said to spouse and self about buying a house in Houston....and I can still hear her Eastern TX accent....

"Darlings; If you can have an excuse to get out of town ’btwn June and September...
DO IT...."

Never managed that....

Took months to get over not sweating  so much.

Interesting. In the video below, Jay relegates McIntsosh to his "Bottom Tier Amplifier List"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrANbl6B824&ab_channel=Jay%27sAudioLab

From the transcript: “right now let's go first on the list macintosh yes you heard it bottom of the list why company has relied a lot on their name um one of the greatest american brands there's no question about it i don't think anybody will ever dispute that about mcintosh right no doubt uh they are just an incredible company holistically speaking 

um but i am reviewing the actual sound quality of a product and not what their resume is i don't care about what they did yesterday okay if i'm if i'm hiring you i don't give a damn what you did in 1996. if i need you for a position that you need to fill today i want to know what you've done over the last five years where have you been what have you been doing careless 1996 what you did 

that's my view on macintosh i feel like their resume is great when you look back in time as of the last few years i don't feel that sonically speaking they're there now….”'

Funny how these video transcripts come across when you read them as opposed to listen to them. Not quite the same...impact.
