I really love the look (and sound!) of D'ag gear. It has a classical vintage alien look about it. Quite a timeless design. I'd like to see him do tubes.

Re: RMAF 2014 Official Photo Thread
I think you are right Myles. Dan has made his mark in the world by designing and building the best SS gear he knows how to produce. There is a permanence to the degree of control you have over the life of a SS product with regards to its inherent sound. That is what draws many talented people to only build SS products because they not only love how their creations sound, they love the fact the sound is going to remain stable for 15-20 years until it's time to replace the aging capacitors. With tube products, the manufacturer pretty much loses control of the sound the minute the product leaves the factory to head to its new home. SS designers would have nightmares about losing that much control over the sound of their products.

Re: RMAF 2014 Official Photo Thread
Keith- When I first sat down, they were playing LPs and I wasn't impressed. This was mainly due to the amount of surface noise I was hearing from their LPs and I was attributing the ZU speakers with exacerbating the noise. I also may have been mistaken about my perceptions that people who own Zu speakers primarily listen to digital, but I will let the Zu owners step up and correct me on that. Straight from my notes as I sat there listening in the Xact Audio room with a Schroder arm mounted to a Dobbins Beat table with Absolare electronics and Zu speakers:
"I'm starting to understand why people who like Zu speakers like digital as it makes analog sound noisy and the speakers sound bright which PCM people seem to like. The amount of surface noise is distracting. I gave them my copy of Charles Mingus "Tijuana Nights" to play and the surface noise all but disappeared. Nice upper midrange/high-frequency dynamics. The snare and cymbals sound really dynamic. Very lively sounding which I would expect from a pair of speakers that are hovering around 100dB efficient. Still a little bright. Not quite enough body to the acoustic bass. The dynamic contrasts in the bass don't sound quite as real as I'm used to."
After hearing the ZU speakers in several rooms, I noticed they sounded bright in both rooms and maybe because they are voiced to be more midrange/high end sounding than having a really good bass foundation sitting under them. I will say that when they played my copy of the Secret Policeman's Ball with the two cuts that Pete Townsend is playing acoustic guitar by himself and singing, the system sounded very good with those two instruments (guitar and voice). When Pete Townsend was singing and playing "Pinball Wizard" it sounded damn good. The ultra speed that Townsend plays with on the second cut "Drowned" from Quadrophenia and his vocals was blowing people away in the room. People were asking for the LP cover so they could photograph it in hopes of finding a copy. This LP is long out of print so I wish them all the best in finding a clean copy on the used market.
So, these are my snapshot impressions from hearing ZU speakers in a couple of rooms so you can take them with a grain of salt and a heaping helping of hotel room acoustics mixed in.

Re: RMAF 2014 Official Photo Thread
Thank you very much, Mark. Were they Definitions on the Absolare? That should have been an ideal combo w/ active bass to tune to room.
I saw a couple photos of Druids w/ Peachtree- I've only heard Druid Vs once and found them bright, but not in my room and was a nearfield setup. So tough for me to tell you if its inherently bright. I might get to hear another pair this week actually for fun at Danny Kaey's house.
Next year, I'm going to make my way to the show. Hope we can compare notes live someday.Brinkmann Bardo w/ EMT HSD-006 cart, MSB Reference DAC --> Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL --> Ampzilla 2000, 2nd Edition --> Fyne Audio F1-12

Re: RMAF 2014 Official Photo Thread
Read the whole thread, looked at the pics, yet I see no mention of the new ARC Galileo gear? Did they not show? I know many folks said they'd reserve judgement until seeing in person and listening... I am surprised no mention or pics? (Or maybe I just missed it?)

It wasn't there and I'm still trying to figure out why ARC charges more for the Galileo gear while admitting privately its not sonically as good as their REF gear. Are customers merely paying for pretty?
I loved the REF75 with KT150's on the Nola's. So musical.

Re: RMAF 2014 Official Photo Thread
I haven't heard IRS Betas in 20+ years but I recall they were special, good to know my ears were as educated then as they are now. I recently passed on a mint set of RS1bs, maybe I should have made a better effort to 'try' them out. I loved the Pulsars when I owned them, perspectives are more of the same Jeff J always gets great sound. I have mixed feeling about the big Focals, Garth must've played a large role with the sound they acheived - he knows how to set up great systems.

Re: RMAF 2014 Official Photo Thread
Interesting comment about the PS Audio system at RMAF from audiocircle:
"To be clear: I used to work for PS Audio, I know Paul quite well, and correspond with him often. I am also welcome at PS Audio HQ to hear things in their listening room (I live in the Boulder area). I do read his blog regularly also. But, I get my listening impressions from my own ears, not from what a manufacturer might suggest... The PS Audio system at RMAF sounded totally blah, little definition, no presence, no air, and quite diffuse non specific imaging. Along with that, it also did not feature much body or musical warmth, off course, bass was impressive on Rutter's Requiem with the bass towers, but that was about it. I listened to to the Chicago Symphony Scheherazade, and it was blah, this is a recording I am very familiar with and it should never be boring."

there was a time they couldn't give away panerais, a salesman at Tourneau even talked me out of one and referred to it as a glorified 'fashion watch'. he went on to say it had little to no upside and wouldn't appreciate - boy, was he wrong. 44mm doesn't fit me well anyways, but Myles pulls it off.

Re: RMAF 2014 Official Photo Thread
Panerai, yeah I had one about 12 years ago or so. Man I should have kept that watch, could probably have sold it now for many times what I paid for that thing. It looked ridiculously big at the time, the norm now.
Nice watch Myles congrats on keeping it after all these years. I noticed it on your wrist in Chad's room at RMAF, very cool.

What seemed like a good idea to them, obviously turned bad. Agreed, waste of a room.

RMAF 2014 Official Photo Thread
Lol! Thanks for posting that pic.
Ayre probably gets the award for having the most creative transformation of a hotel room again. Last year they re-created a record shop. The year before it was a 60s era retro lounge living room. Always seems like the guys are having a great time there.
