Yeah, great bumping into you also. Unfortunately, I had a pretty abbreviated visit. Overall good time, though both in exhibitors and vistors it seemed a significant step down from last year. Interestingly less vinyl also and for those with tables only one was using it when I visited (Zu, their only source). The MBL Radialstrahlers** sounded so dead on with one track, so dead on the next. Still curious to hear more. Zu Essences were intriguing with Steve Earle sons newest LP, but I had very limited listening and The Police just sounded like The Police (hint: not a fan). Was pretty surprised at the bang for buck from the $650 pair (I think show price) Martin Logan LX16s bookshelves** and new Motion 20s ($750 each) floorstanders. Ribbon tweeters. High point was the Win Audio room (photo below). Those monoblocks were stunning in every respect. Wish I remembered the pyramid speakers they were paired with. Largest disappointment was the KEF Blades, but again I only heard two songs and may not have been in the sweet spot. Also joined BAAS and picked up some Blue Coast music. Poor mans adventures at this kinda show. ** Both played those silly drum demos. EDIT: I should mention the Sony SS-AR1s, like last year, sounded pretty incredible if you like 'big sounds.' EDIT2: Not that I could tell much by the show setup, but the Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamp was interesting.

Sounds wonderful JP. Congrats to the couple on their special day. Let us know how the day went.

Can't help on the above... ... but for the earlier 8GB v. 16GB rMBP discussions, this video may be of limited use. Probably not, but possibly.

Wow!

So far Yes: 1 No: 1 Hmmmmm: 1

Another thing to watch for at the Olympics... Kevin Lee, chief executive of Sol Republic, said he did not know that Phelps would be wearing his company’s headphones during the Games. He said he was thrilled, but not surprised, that so many Olympians were using premium models.

AppleTV just got Hulu Plus, which means on top of the TV shows, nearly all currently licensed Criterion films are available to stream (Criterion jumped over from Netflix streaming last year). Hulu Plus kept me on Roku, but will probably switch now.

Have a great one today! Happy Birthday.
