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'm sure you do just like you sweat for hours making sure your wires are all oriented correctly.
Going to an audio show with no audio makes zero sense, period.   

Just saying.
Was CAF well attended this year? Saw a video shot there and it looked dead. Could have been shot in off hours though not sure.
