Of the 12th floor suites the Pass XS with the Sopra 2 was better than both Sonus Faber rooms...IMO. Maybe they will tweak setup for Saturday. Spent about 45 minutes rotating between the 3 rooms.

I did hear the micromega. While not in the same ballpark of sound, it was still very enjoyable. I would have like to heard different cabling on that system tho. I think that speaks to the Sopra's ability to scale tho as the front end scales. That being said, the Pass room was not 40x more enjoyable

Saw him several times. He spoke in a panel with Dan D'Agsotino, Frank Van Alstyne and Kevin Hayes.
Also, I ran into him as I walked into the Magico S5MK2 room. Both Dave and Peter M. visited the room to listen to the new S5s. It was a very cordial visit in which several jazz and classical music pieces were played from tape through CAT pre and power amplification - very impressive. Dave was very complementary. Pictures were taken. And, I could tell Alon was quite humbled by the visit._______________

Re: Axpona 2016 Official Pictures Thread
Mike, I love coffee but lets see some more pictures of equipment! I only had a day at Axpona this year, I saw a ton of great new gear, take a listen to the Dynaudio Xeo 2 at Joseph Audio room 4th floor if they have them hooked up yet.. Those little powered speakers are loaded with great sound and blew my socks off sonically so much when I heard them at a friends house I picked up a pair at Axpona via Next Level Audio...

They said you can use it with an appropriate power conditioner or power strip.

Re: Axpona 2016 Official Pictures Thread
Ah so it's more of a system augmentation piece in that regard, use existing power conditioners, etc. to continue to plug your gear into but plug the power units into this to provide batter backup when needed.

Re: Axpona 2016 Official Pictures Thread
I want to get this out early so people don't think I am copying off the kid in front of me. After a long second day today, here is where I come out. Please remember I have a hearing impairment.
Top Five
1 YG and MSB
2 Wilson Alexx and Doshi with tape and vinyl3 Raidho D1.1 and Aavik
3 Avantegarde Uno XD and Av Amp
4 Wilson and Dag
5 Martin Logan and McIntosh (seriously)
Runner-ups in no particular order:
- The 12th Floor (et al) - ARC, Sonus Farber, etc., etc.
- VAC and Von Schweikert
- Vapor and Lampi - spent time with Myles pickin the tunes and finally really dug the DSD. PCM even with new r2r not so much.
No shows (for me):
Magico S5mkii - I just can't love the tweeter (even with CAT's and Tape ) everything else is peachy.
MBL - I was to scared to listen....too loud and just too much.

Yes...it makes for a BIG improvement. Every demo I've heard where at Altaira was in the system, folks listened, and then the Altaira(s) were removed, and folks immediately demanded the Altaira be put...
Altaira or Gemini CGS on...
