Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?

Did anyone make it to RAF? If so what was the best and, worst set ups that you heard?

I went.

Some of the good was from Merlin. Their set-up was well balanced, some of the best bass notes at the show. He was using some sort of little stereo tube amp. I suspect it had something to do with their sound as well. I discovered GR Research... their room with Dodd electronics was tremendous. They were using their Super-V, open-baffle speakers including servo-driven subs. They were spacious, huge full range sound with no bloom or fatigue. And being a panel guy, Roger Sander's electrostats and electronics were pretty damn good. It looks like he nose what he's doing!

There were some unmentionables. Mostly room acoustics I suspect. Considering the coin some of the top shelf gear was asking, it better have been the room!!
