That's a given.
LampizatOr will be there in room 634 debuting our new Golden Atlantic along with our DSD Komputer. Spatial audio will also be debuting it's M3 Triode Master speakers in our room powered by Linear Tube Audio 40 OTL monoblocks all linked together with Verastarr. I hope some of my fellow sharks drop in to see us.
We'll also have one of our Golden Gate DACs in the Von Schweikert room which they'll be using to show their VSA Ultra-11 speaker system.

Could someone please check out Audia Flight in rooms 336 & 338? They might debut a new integrated in the $11K range. I am still trying to find out details.

Thank you for extending the offer to a newer member. I would like to, but not sure I can escape the family for that long.

I just have so much fun going and listening. If you go with the attitude of "I want to hear something better than what I've got", you may likely be disappointed. Just go and have fun! Listen to the $500 speakers with the same interest as the $50,000 speakers. Meet people. Soak it up and have fun!!
