I sent all my show coverage to the editor but they generally like to give the reviews some breathing room. They have posted only four rooms of my coverage. I have sent in many more pages.
Plus they may be editing video footage of our reviewer's coverage where 5 dagogo reviewers commented on our favorite rooms.
The sound at this show was the best overall I've been to in terms of many rooms sounding quite good. I don't try to compare any components in these shows - just the overall sound of the room. And I typically use the speaker as the reference point or star attraction of the room.
This is difficult though because the Pure Audio Project speaker was using a $25,000 amp and maybe another speaker that was sounding pretty darn close is using a $4,000 amp.
Some rooms only had vinyl, some rooms only had computers and didn't have the music in their hard drive that I brought. So then what do you do?
I had one guy tell me a room wasn't too good - the next day we were sitting together in the room and I played what I brought cranked it up and his opinion dramatically changed. So hardly apples to apples comparisons. So I choose what I think sounded the best overall and some runner ups and then at the next show it could be something completely different.
I can't give away the selections early but I was happy to find a longer list of stuff I liked. And a speaker that I was roundly blown away by that if I had the space I would buy.
