2008 RMAF – – – all things analog.

I have two questions/comments on the 2008 RMAF below.

1) First thing…

Who’s Going?

I’m going for my second consecutive year. I enjoyed last year a great deal. I had wonderful discussions with analog types like Thom Mackris, Alvin Lloyd, Jeff Cantalono/Thomas Woschnik, and Frank Schroeder. I had time with my own LPs on all of their tables as well as quite a few others. I’m looking forward to this coming year as well.

If you are going to the 2008 RMAF, I’d like to know so I can meet some of you out in Denver.

2) Second thing…

Any suggested Table, Cartridge, Arms to pay particular attention to?

Again, If you are going to the 2008 RMAF, I’d like to know so I can meet some of you out in Denver.

I will give more detail when I get time soon.

Classic Audio Reproductions All Field Coil Speakers, Oswaldmill Audio, and Vivid Audio Speakers room, were actually the only rooms I really enjoyed. These rooms were miles ahead of the other rooms, not really even close to me. But I too will look forward the wide range of opinions to come. ; 0 )

The Classic Audio Reproductions will be delivered to my house this week! I hope my room can handle them.

I would also like to mention I did not like one of the 500K rooms, however, they would be great PA systems for a Techno Bar.

Maril,

I listened to both T1 & T3.

T-1'S WITH FIELD COIL FRONT WOOFER, FIELD COIL MID RANGE, FIELD COIL SUPER TWEETER.

T-3'S WITH FIELD COIL WOOFER, MID AND SUPER TWEETER

The T-3's in their full Filed Coil Configuration have a lot of the Magic of the T'1. But the larger T1's with the newly designed Edgar horn is a smoother sound, and worth the price difference.

If you were at RMAF and heard the smaller T3's they did not have the Field Coil Woofer. Adding the the filed coil woofer to the T3 is a MUST. When we swapped out woofers between field coil and non field coil the difference was AMAZING.

Regarding pricing, these are modular designs determine your budget and build over time if necessary or buy the in the configuration heard at RMAF cost is $36,500.

Albert,

The Classic Audio and Oswald Rooms were special.
Your taste seems to be similar to mine. I know you are Koestu fan, so I really hope you get your hands on a Koetsu Coral Stone, as you have been thinking about. It really is special, and leagues above your former Koetsu Jade and PC1, IMHO.

Actually, I recently brought my front end equipment: Garrard 301 in Dobbins Plinth/SME V/Koetsu Coralstone/Doshi Phono over to Classic Audio Repducitons for a listen, two speakers sytems went up for sale after the 8 hour listening session, mine and my friend's who came with me. My front end took the sound heard at Rocky Mountain to a much higher level if you can believe that!!!! I think even John Wolf of Classic Audio would agree it is a very special listening session. The speed of the Field Coils and the textural layering of the Koestu Coralstone it was magic.

I am planning a trip soon to Oswald Mills to do the same listening session, before I buy my "lifetime" speaker. The finish line is in sight ; 0 )
