Okay, I went to the NY Audio Show yesterday. I was on a specific mission, and targeted rooms that had specific gear I was curious about. That accomplished, I wandered around a bit. The result: there's stuff I want.
I had gone with the intention of visiting the Value Electronics room hoping to check out the latest Sony OLED and a Technics turntable, also to check out Golden Ear speakers. No Golden Ear, but a vendor who sells them was there and that particular room featured Polk's new flagship, which sounded good (my first "high-end" speakers were Polks). I saw and heard, and was impressed. But I went to other rooms and saw other gear and was impressed, too. Now I'm thinking about how I could put a run together at some of what I saw and heard. Audio shows are dangerous.
