    Anybody there yet? I’m planning to get there around 11:00 in the morning. Not sure how long I’ll say, but looking forward to hearing some great systems.

    Here’s the best system I heard. No idea what the system costs, but it’s $$$$$. The reel to reel alone is $35k

    Yes it did…and I LOVE the simplicity. 1 box, 2 speakers, a power cord, and a pair of speaker cables. Still well out of my league price-wise, but it bested several systems that cost much more in my opinion.

    I stayed in that room for about 2.5 hours. They said the system was around $800k.

    One of those reel to reels will be arriving at my house in about 3 weeks after updates/mods.

    Skips system was very nice. We did some after hours listing and it was impressive.

    Was Acora being represented at the event? Kind of curious after what happened.

    Scott Walker has consistently good setups/systems. Those Estelon's can sound very nice!
