In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

I didn't see him use his own table either, but I did talk to him briefly about it. He said they wanted to show it off, but he liked that Kodo so much he just couldn't stop spinning it.

My favorite part of the show is when Danny reach out to skip and they some time in each others room chatting a swapping out gear and they to the pleasure of us there, they went to Danny's room and they hooked up the Norma gear to his speakers...
Me & Barry got the front rows seats. I told Barry they should have charged us to sit here as I would have payed a lot for those seats

My only regret for the show is I didn't spend enough time in Ryan's room. I spent only a little bit when I had something I remembered I had to do and left to early then was jelly brained for awhile when he went back to his room to finish Pink Floyd's wish you were here! and I didn't follow...some things will haunt you for a long time!
The talk is LSAF maybe in June next year...I saw Berry in the Computer room so I snuck in and called him a Hacker!! and I'd see him in next month in June He was like ohh how i wish LOL me too as a year is a long time to see old friends!

I would've liked to set in this room for a bit, amount the many others. I have a ModWright LS 100 Preamp and thinking about the KWA 100SE Amplifier to accompany it, driving a nice pair of Bookies.
I would imagine the Ushers were very good with this set-up.
SDA SRS 2.3TL's/SDA SRS 3.1TL's/SDA CRS+4.1TL's and some other stuff
I use the Modwrights at home with some Rosso's Fiesole & before that I powered the Usher Mini X's with them, I got the preamp from Ron and I found the amp at "THe Music Room" for $2600 list new at $5200.
We ran Norma gear in all 3 of Skips room it power the usher in my room and Sonner Audios speakers and the Fiesole in his room!

Thanks to all the people who spent some time in my room and kept me from going stir crazy. Spent a lot of time with Marvin & Paul & Dennis again!
I got to meet Wild Willie "Display Name" and we broke him in pretty good! Good Music, Good Food and Good Bourbon. Willie fits in perfectly with us
So did Ryans buddy Joel who should be a Polkie by now...Me & Joel almost finish a bottle of Bookers with some help from others too.
first night a bunch crammed into my room to see the new Ushers including Danny Richie.

I wish I had ask him if it was because:
(A) Last year I used Modwright gear and this year I used the Norma Gear?
(B) Last year I used Acoustic Zen cables and this year it was all Wireworld?
(C) Last Year I had the bigger Usher Mini X's and this year I had the Smaller Usher SD-500 I think?
or (D) Last year I setup my room and this year Skip set it up for me?
Skip will appreciate this
