CES news 2014

As a side note, I enjoyed hanging out with Bret D'Agostino. Bret is a super cool guy and very knowledgable. I said to him, "so tell me Bret, do you and the old guy ever get in any heated arguments?" He laughed out loud and said, "oh yeah." Bret definitely is building some terrific products. I love what he is doing with Class A amps and his new line stage looks great. We spoke at length about channeling heat of his big Class A amps. He's come up with some great ideas.

It was great to meet Dan and his lovely wife Petra. Dan explained to me in detail his new integrated and how he handles heat. Ingenious.

I also enjoyed the Shunyata room(s). The first room is two sofa's, one with Grant and one with Caelin. I walked in and sat down and had the pleasure of speaking with both of these great guys for 20 minutes. They are passionate about the proper foundation for any system - clean power and cabling. AC and DC. I gave Caelin and idea and I hope he follows through with it. :)

Time to hit the floor. Later sharks!

Fantastic stuff Mike!
 
Thanks Nick.

Pity for tyhe lampi guys.

Looks like you guys are having fun.

Yes, I only know Mike by phone, but he is GREAT person and I am sure he is buckets of fun.
Did you meet Bob (Absolare)? He is at the Venetian.

Yes I noticed that also--I did read somewhere that the Techdas designer was considering putting the German Axiom Arm on his table

I think this would be good move--my opinion is the Graham arm is the achilles heel of that setup.

Hi Bruce,

why do you feel the Graham arm is the achilles heel of that setup? Have you heard the two and compared.

Joe's next amps?

Kondo Kagura. The most beautiful, sweet sound I think I have ever heard. And they should be.

Speakers are B&W 801D. 0.25 impedance. Kondo wants to show their amps are mondo beyondo. And they are.

211 tubes with 6SN7's.

I haven't heard this set-up but do like Kondo myself - was surprised when I saw the choice of speakers
 
I know few places where it wouldn't pass mustard. ;):D ...And one of them places you know well too (I think).
But here you're safe, and in particular with your avatar. :)

I want to say something here. I love women,all women. Not just pretty ones on the outside, but all women. They make the world a better place. I'm not trying to be provocative.
