RMAF 2018 A.A. Show Report & Pictures

[SL1800]

The top of the line AMG turntable was making beautiful music in the Audio Research room.

[SL1800]

This Vimberg Mino from Tidal really grabbed my attention with some of the cleanest bass of the show.

[SL1800]

The MBL speakers were more dynamic than I would have guessed. Also threw a soundstage larger than life.

[SL1800]

Another good sounding room with Tidal speakers and Bricasti electronics.

[SL1800]

Audio Research with Sonus Faber was a good sounding combo. I was surprised these speakers could achieve those levels on 150 watts.

I’m not big into vinyl, but man does Clearaudio understand industrial design. Every inch of that thing screams precision engineering.

Yes, the aidas go really really low, and the ref160m can definitely get the job done. Stunning! I think this system would have been better in a room the size of the one von schweikert was in.

Yes, I thought the tweeters were a bit hot in that room and hurt my ears a bit, but I wondered if the Aidas were voiced for a greater listening distance than that room allowed.
