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.

My wife and I spent the majority of our time listening to the Sanders Sound System Model 10 and the Tekton Design Moab speakers. Both rooms featured lively sound that was affordable and emotionally binding. The LTA rooms were visited several times and always delivered a holographic image. I attended the show looking for a streamer and ended up purchasing the Lumin U1 Mini from Command Performance. For sure CAF 2019 was a strong success and looking forward to CAF 2020!
