Re: LA Audio Show - pics and thoughts
The entire time I was there (couple of tracks), they were playing the G1. the G2 was at the back of the room and I didn't hear them play. Judging by how G1 performed, I would assume G2 can only be better....
Magico(s5II)/VAC sounded good, so did Magico(s3II)/CAT and Magico(s7)/Macintosh. None played my request, so I can't really compare how they did with others. Out of the three, I preferred the Magico/Macintosh room rigged with SR products.

Re: LA Audio Show - pics and thoughts
Well, I'm highly suspect But I was very impressed by them, and other folks in the room seemed to be as well. I heard Hervé was cranking some AC/DC at concert level volumes, so I had to check it out And it was amazing, very punchy, with that "glow" around voices and instruments that Evolution Ac. speakers do that's particularly unique.
Then Leslie (the tape guy) queued up some Led Zeppelin, just so I could compare with last year's session on the bigger MM3 EXACTs.
While I thought last year's session *was* better, the room last year was better as well. And while I did all this on Sunday, I believe the speakers and the massive crossovers could use a little bit more burn-in time, as they were finalized just last Friday!
cheers,
alex

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
