    After all the reviews, disappointing

    All I can make out in the photo is Cardas cables. Were they disappointing? The speakers (if so, what brand/model)? The electronics?

    Thanks!

    @halo
    I had high hopes for Joseph Audio, based on all the high praise on Audiogon, but they fell flat for me.

    I my opinion, the most fun room and energy of the guys in the whole show. That was fun today.

    I don't need to go to these shows any more. My rig does 95% of what the 100k systems do for 10% or less of the cost of admission those rigs are worth... of course if I paid full retail for my setup, I would be over that budget already. Thank God for every one of those high rollers for breaking it all in for me. :p

    Yeah but yours sounds like **** compared to the $1mil rooms

    I'm sorry due to @tonyb being in witness protection (closest on the right in the blue Adidas jacket) we cannot......



    Starting on the left closest.
    @erniejade, Mario not on PF, @pitdogg2 without a perm, then the guy we can't mention @tonyb, @DSkip and top right furthest is @marvda1. My first time meeting Marvin great guy had me cracking up all day. And last but not least looks like she barely made the picture lower right across from @erniejade is his wife. The one taking the picture in the Megadeath T-shirt is @gudnoyez.

    Where’s Drew?

    Didnt get to meet Drew or Joe Coulson but maybe today I will. I'm eating a healthy breakfast of Giordanos and washing it down with a Mountain Dew, need my energy for round 2. Gotta hit Skips room. Vincent Audio, the Nad room to check out the C658, I got to hit the Technics, room, lumin room lots to do so little time and it was snowing earlier.

    Don’t be poking on my new buddy Ivan! BTW the perm is very fashionable! :smile:

    Perm ?? I thought that was from the shock he got trying to run off with one of those VAC amps. Unplug it first next time bro.

    @verb i have had SDA1.2, 2.3 legacy focus so i completely understand on the weight of the srs. Welcome to the 150bl and up club!. I think we have a award for that.

    Between Skips room, Legacy and Salk room. I really want to change my speakers.

    I only had a few hours there on Saturday, but for the rooms I hit, must say I heard more bad than good. Super crowded on Saturday too, more so than last year.

    For listening experiences, think I prefer Lonestar better. It's more relaxed, and most will let you play your music you bring with. Not as big as AXPONA so many of those big names won't be there, but your listening experience will be much better.

    Springtime in Chicago. If you don't like the weather just wait a few mins, it will change.
