I'm facing a dilemma. I've got quite a bit of gear here that I'd like to bring to GPAF, but I'm limited to what will fit in a Volvo 240 wagon, so I have to whittle things down. At the same time, I don't want to NOT bring something that a buncha folks want to hear, so . . . While I can't guarantee that I'll be able to honor all requests, I thought I'd toss out the question: WHAT Audio Note GEAR WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR AT GPAF? DAC's ? Pre-amps ? Power Amps ? Speakers ? Cable? Which models? What Levels or price ranges? As they (still) say in some voting precincts, VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN !!

Oh yes, it's not an either/or by category - there will be at least 2 full systems this time! I was asking what - within the categories - are people most curious about.I know that I can carry two complete systems because I've done it. There will be a CDT Two/II, and perhaps a first gen. CDT One to keep things simple for me, supplying a DAC3.1x Balanced and DAC1.1x Mk II Sig. There will be a new spec M3 preamp with Phono and Quest Silver mono amps. There will be one of the integrateds and probably a kit Pre and a Kit 4 amp. There will be AN/E's of one sort or another (we have ten levels of them, after all!) There will be one or two pairs of AX and/or AZ and/or K and/or J speakers as well. Which speakers are of particular interest? In terms of vinyl, I'll bring my Voyd table with me, but is there also interest in the TT One? That's the sort of thing I need to figure out, and am willing to take input from the ART-istic community. As was the case with the E/Sogon speakers, the top of the line amps - Onakgu and Kegons - went back to England after CES. I want to get an Ongaku or one of its new somewhat less extreme siblings here in the U.S. once they go into production, but they're still prototypes at this point. I'm looking forward to meeting you as well !

Are you not bringing any gear, or are you planning to strap it to the roof, or maybe the gear goes in the front seat and we strap you to the roof . . . ?

Hi Wayne, 1) Happy to. I was going that way anyhow, and what would a regional show be without Wild Bill? 2) Between the integrated, the Kit Pre + Kit 4 and AX Two and AZ Two speakers, that range will be well represented, minus source. Our least expensive digital source is now $3,750, so that won't fit, but the entry analog rig is under $2k, so that works. 3) The Audio Note "statement" system only exists in Peter's living room, as far as I know; no one else has all the elements, some of which are not in production. (It's the $300,000 system we showed at Milan last Sept and at CES in Jan.) I don't have anything that exalted in residence. Wouldja settle for a lovely $30,000 system? This show is gonna be sooooooo coooooo.
