  They also have a huge one selling at more than USD3K   One of the most dynamic & gut wrenching demo at the show. These are their entry levels models at USD10K if not mistaken. Half price show only offer...not sure if 10K was already discounted half price. German Physiks    The Goldmunds were not the ones playing. An ARC ref 150 was hidden behind the rack driving the Sonus Faber Amati Futura to impressive levels.  Marten + Vitus Audio  Ktema + Orpheous

I wish there was an audio show like that around here, I'd love to hear at least half of those rigs.
Thank you for the pictures!

Great photos Joe!
A bit surprised that they set up that Clearaudio TT on a glass rack! Would think they should know better!
