I think I heard Nick is out from under the wing of Paradigm, is that true? If so, his company will be one to watch. He's smart, a good guy and builds great products for the money. It also doesn't hurt that he has a great corner on some of the analog products (phono, tape pre, etc).

Where did you hear this? It didn't seem that way at the show...
 
Got this note, thought it hysterical. What kind of low life trashes another seminar?

Wrapping Up AXPONA: ?We?ll Be Back? | Real HD-Audio

And then there was the seminar that followed the panel on high-resolution audio called “Discover the Reel Truth” moderated by Myles B. Astor, PhD. I met Computer Audiophile’s Chris Connaker in the hall on Sunday and he told me that my head would have exploded at what was being pulled over on the attendees of this seminar. The description from the webpage says it all, “Audiophiles seeking the Holy Grail, the ne plus ultra of sound, need look no further than 15-ips/2-track reel-to-reel tape. These 21st century, real time duplicated, second or third generation [tapes], simply are as close as one can get to the original recordings.” It wasn’t a joke…these people either can’t read specification sheets or have never bothered to listen to real high-resolution audio. Second or third generation tapes of original recordings? Give me great quality transfers to high-resolution PCM digital files and forget losing fidelity through another generation. Save costs, complexity, and arrive at better sound with high-resolution PCM. Wow
 
Apparently one who is deaf. From the next paragraph.

"A few people have asked about the cables in our demo room. One individual came up to me and was proud to say that he acquired 3 power cords for only $70 each. I suggested he might want to return them because they won’t improve the fidelity of his system. I pointed out to him that the power cords in the Lakeshore B room were standard issue IEC cables."
 
Myles, that is crazy.

The joke is on him since 15 ips/2 track is the best sounding source I have ever heard.

Double wow. The guy that wrote the article didn't even attend your seminar. This is the guy from AIX right? Isn't AIX the same company that says that if you don't have at least 140 dB of dynamic range you aren't truly hi-rez or did I imagine I read that somewhere?

The irony is that there are those that think that digital hasn't improved since 1980, measures perfectly, 16/44 is all we need and Waldrep is peddling snake oil and superfluous. :roflmao:

Did you mean Paragon?
 
Mike said:
Yes. I had heard he wasn't as closely associated with Paragon anymore. Guess it was bad info.

Mike, I wouldn't make too much of any changes in their relationship. Larry and Nick are still best of friends. I am guessing that it is Nicks responsibility to get his product produced and to market. Just my guees

Absolutely. It seems like a real win/win and I was a little surprised when this person mentioned something to me.

I would just say the main change is the business relationship.

Myles, I guess you were in my room twice...and I wasn't both times. Sorry I missed you, Devis spoke highly of you.
Apparently we were all at the same place Saturday night as well. Me with a bunch of crazed audiophiles from mid west FL and a Canadian or two thrown in.;)

cheers,

AJ
