2023 AXPONA Show Report
@blisshifi you stated There were some notable rooms there, ..... AXISS room with the Air Tight monoblocks and New Franco Serblin speakers But yet you're not a fan of Sonus Faber. Wasn't it Franco Serblin who designed and had his signature on mo... 
The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene
Nice choice to have. I'm very close to buying a pair of Perspectives myself, have heard them at a local dealer several times and they just sound amazing.

Franco Serblin Ktêma Loudspeakers
@dayglow agree but on Saturday they were using the large PP 100+ watt Air Tight monos, much better control of the bass, better slam, sounded like a totally different speaker compared to the SE monos used Sunday

Ares Cerat tank-sized boxes again. Last year just listening to the sales guy in the room was such a turn off I must say I hate that line. OMG that guy was such an a$$hole! He kept saying how he knew what good sound sounded like. You would never... 
What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck??
Look at the Keith Monks Prodigy, I believe they start at $1000 and go to around $2000. No Re-Contamination and quiet and fairly quick.
