Anyone at the Stereophile show

I'll make a longer review later.
But some of the stuff thats great.
JM Lab Alto speakers in the Musical surrounding room.
Holy Moly does this speaker sound incredible.
Articulate fast and a great bass response.
Garth Leer also played alot of great upbeat tracks.
Some of the music in the other rooms could put you to sleep.

Hyperion speakers. First time hearing them and there a must hear speaker.
There sweet sounding speakers with a good bass response.
Vandersteen 5 speakers sounded phenominal on these Pathos mono tube amps.
The 5s sounded very 3 dimenional and airy.
Gini tube amps and preamp on the 10th floor.
I never heard of this tube amp and preamp.
This is a 300B 845 tube amp.
Its a large tube amp that runs cool. It uses impressive tubes.
Two 300Bs, Two 845's.
It costs 2950 and sounds unbelievable.
They also had a matching preamp and this cool looking acrylic board, which was under the CD player.
Good speakers for the money. The Odyssey speakers that use the Scanspeak 7 inch woofer and tweeter sounded really good.

I liked Gilbert of Blue Circle's "Music Pumps Manequin Music System" In the hall outside their room.

The GTT Audio room with the Kharma 3.2/sub/new 150 wpc class D amp/Kubala-Sousna/Kuzma setup was making for some very nice analog playback. I preferred it over the larger Kharma speakers with Lamm amps next door.

EMM Labs digital playback was in a lot of rooms and making a very good show of themselves, but Ray Kimber's demo of his ISOmic recordings using the big Pass amps and the gorgeous TAD Model 1 loudspeaker in 4 channel was very impressive.

I agree with the above assesment about the show being a lot smaller than in years gone by, with a lot of major players being absent.

I saw of lot of our own Albert Porter over the course of the two days I was there, and am looking forward to his always great photos.
