Heard Patricia Barber live Friday night!! Rich and I had the best seats (or only seats) in the house!!

Mark Levinson gear is always fun to oogle at. Those amps weigh over 400 lbs each! The Dynaudio speakers cost around $100K.

These B&W 803D's (I think) sounded fabulous!!

Magico speakers! Check out those tube amps that power them

The famous garden speakers. These are totally weather proof!

Any KEF fanboys? The blades sound fabulous at $28K

    Nice shots, Carl.

    I would have joined you "gentlemen" if my work wasn't such a cluster---- at this time of year. Perhaps another time!

    These pics are awesome schwarcw !!! I saw those Gibson speakers in the videos WLD had posted. :) Someone else was using a RTR in one of the rooms, (possibly playing some Hotel California?? ) . How cool are those garden speakers,lol? :D

    I don't think those were 802D... I think that was the 802 before the D.

    802 Nautlius -> 802D -> 802 Diamond

    But nonetheless, I read elsewhere that those sounded good too.

    Did you get to hear the stradivari?
