Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly!


Just came back from the great Capital Audio Fest.

A lot of great rooms, a few surprises, missing brands, and some winners and losers.

The great:

Doug Whites The Voice that is system of Tidal gear, Innous Statement, and Tidal loudspeakers just was stunning sounding.

The big Genesis system in the Vpi room was quite excellent. 

The Old Forge room's Sound Kaos speakers were superb.

The Cat room with the Kef Blades proved the Kef Blades are a true contender with way more expensive loudspeakers.

Dadelius speakers sounded very good, unfortunately the system was $200k!

The Bad:

The $120k Devore's new reference speakers were good but not $120k good at this demo

More to come.

I wasn't at the show but based upon the Daedalus website and the gear Lou listed as showing with his speakers in 2 rooms it's hard to see how the cost would have been $200K in either

Did he show with different equipment?

My apologies for being skeptical about the "$200K" price tag on the Daedalus system, just saw the breakdown cost from  Parttime Audiophile
