Nice photos and reviews. Eventually one day I’ll get to one of these myself.

RMAF 2018 A.A. Show Report & Pictures
A couple of shots from CanJam:
Woo Audio’s Eclipse, very nice sounding amp/DAC driving Senn HD800s. Battery powered, quite small. I’m thinking it would be very nice for a small bedroom system. AmpsandSound McKenzie headphone amp. Very solid, musical, good bass driving ZMF headphones. The owner hand-builds them.

They told me today the total system cost is $500k, or $330 for just the speakers. I actually thought the tonal balance wasn’t that bad on a piece with trumpet and acoustic guitar, but it sounded like the world’s biggest guitar - the imaging was impossible.

Atmasphere amps and Classic Audio speakers. I thought this system sounded pretty good - well-balanced and smooth with articulate bass.

Raven Audio with Legacy speakers. Sound was a bit boomy and muddy, and too much background noise in the room.

Here are the Focal Grand Utopias with EMM electronics. They played a live version of Tom Petty “Free Falling” and it was like being there, awesome power and clarity, but like listening in an auditorium. Also I found the sound a bit hard.

RMAF 2018 A.A. Show Report & Pictures
The Soundsmith room. Very nice sound and great looking amplification. Forgot to take a picture of the TT. Click on the URL to see the cool blue lights on the control knob that pulse to the music. Throwback, but fun.

PureAudioProject: these were cool modular speakers from Israel. They’re a kit, and you can select different modules for the center either horn or concentric (pictured). The crossover is very simple and you can “roll” different resistors. They sounded pretty darn good, too.

Given their size, the JA Perspectives were impressive in the impact and scale of the music they were producing. I would describe the sound as very coherent, dynamic, natural, and accurate. It didn't hurt that they were playing excellent tapes at 15 ips.
