This is a show that has gotten better and better over the past 3 years I've attended and is well worth the trip. The overall sound quality of the systems/rooms has improved every year. The big VAC / Von Schweikert room was truly amazing if you heard it when it was sounding it's best (depending on source material, etc.). TIDAL (TVTI), Deja Vu, Classic Audio, Robyatt, C-J (EVO) rooms all sounded very good. EMIA's always creative and interesting. Only the GT Audio Works system's subwoofer volume drove me out of the room. CanMania's always a hoot and there was enough music to hunt through for me. There's something here for everyone. Looking forward to next year.
Capitol Audio Fest
Did anyone else attend Cap Audiofest this year? I've seen no threads about it, I was only able to attend Friday afternoon but heard some good systems. Favorites for me, Shindo/Auditorium 23, Zu Audio, Tidal, Classic Audio/Atmasphere, and Deja Vu Audio. I thought the Zu system with Omens and First Watt Sit monos was the best value priced system. Best system overall the stunning Deja Vu vintage system with their field coil speakers just astonishing sound. I wish I had gotten more time to spend looked like there were lots more rooms this year.
