I agree, and I am not interested in their "commerical reality" defense of how they choose to cover stuff. Will not subscribe to them again, haven't in a long time, and enjoyed just about everything they didn't cover much more than the stuff they did. I would have given up on this hobby long ago were it not for the DIY and special interest forums such as these. And not because I want to build everything... I am still a serious shopper, but have a much different perspective/attitude from the old days where only the rags and the high-end retail store experiences formed the base of my opinions.... I know you like the Salk stuff quite a bit, I thought his room was fantastic but I just can't get into the Seas Excel sound for some reason. I thought Rick Craig's latest design made for one of the top 10 sounds at the show, as did the knew guys from AudioCrafters and Facet Audio. I also thought the Emerald Physics set up provided some amazing results, mostly towards the end of the show, and still not on all types of music... I think he had some real room challenges to overcome and never quite got all the way there. Regards, Greg Jensen

What's going on in Dallas in May? Also, for whatever it is worth, the AudioNote room sounded great, would probably make my top ten rooms at the show list... Greg Jensen

Hi Wayne! Yes, I was the guy in the Audio Note room except for about 15 minutes a day Sat and Sun. when I snuck out just to be able to say I'd seen another room. I'm doing web site content, trade shows and misc. global mktg. for Audio Note UK these days. Spent the middle half of Sept in Milan, Paris and Hove, UK with Peter. You can see pix of that trip and other stuff on one of two web sites I've got going. I'm trying to provide both answers to FAQ and open ended discussion, as well as trade show reports. I haven't found one easy to use mechanism that allows both, so I'm split in two places. Hope to see you guys in TX in May!

Mark, Why don't you post your impressions and pics under a new thread heading? This guy brought more vinyl to the show than I did! To say nothing of saving my bacon by having very juicy replacement tubes in his pocket when the M8 spit up a 5687. Thanks a million, doc!
