    Who is going to Axpona 2026?

    I do think that more couples are coming to shows. Not necessarily younger tho. It’s hard to tell. When I went thru the car systems there were very few people looking at them. And the headphone area is no canjam but it was ok. Axpona is a well run show but it’s gotten so big that it...

    AI music, let’s discuss the elephant in the room

    It’s fascinating to me. I remember discussions about sorta this type of thing when synthesizers became popular way back. The shock that something else (fake synth) could sound like a violin etc. To me if you enjoy it - what difference does it make? To me, AI music has yet to have the...

    Who is going to Axpona 2026?

    Thinking about it, I’m only here for tomorrow- Friday. 220 rooms in 8 hours. That only gives me about 2 minutes a room. Hmmmm - hope they don’t want me to sit down to listen. No time for that. Lol

    Dedicated purpose built listening spaces

    1 & 2 for me. But, basically took the treatments out when I went to the Clarisys because it was better. So I guess I’m just 1 now. Basically Jim Smith set up rooms but he never was here in person. So I have to blame myself.

    Andrew Jones and a new brand

    I bet some CJ amps would be great on the CR1s. I know they worked great with some of the earlier Magicos and they had some of the same characteristics of the CR 1

    Focal/NAIM has a new owner

    Should be interesting how this shakes out for the consumer. I think this will be better for NAIM than it will be for Focal.

    Taiko Servers

    Let’s face it - states/cities need money to give us services. Taxes are basically their only income. They get you some way. Here in Oregon there is no sales tax but there is an income tax. Exactly the opposite as Texas. Texas is better for making money and Oregon is better for spending...

    The “friendliest audio forum”?

    As far as my “goal” Mine is simple - I want a system that conveys the emotion of the music to me. The better it gets to communicating that the better.

    The “friendliest audio forum”?

    I find out about new gear mostly by forums like this. But also from magazines and bloggers /influencers and dealers and any other advertising source. If a product sounds interesting to me I will read about it and then search it out to listen to it. I don’t give reviewers any more credit...
