Nice writeup! Wish I could have been there instead of at the office.

the person in the picture with the rudistor amps is actually rudi stor. afaik he is the one who designs the amps and builds them in italy. i may be wrong and perhaps sovkiller does the work as well. kinda correct me if im mistaken but i just wanted to point it out in case there was a little mix up.
excellent review!

Correct, but it is Dr. Rudi Stor to be precise. Alberto Gomez is RudiStor's US rep.
Thanks for doing the great write-up, and congrats to the best in show winners especially Todd and Pete for their well-deserved recognition. The 307A is a fantastic and highly versatile dynamic amp.

Great stuff. Thanks for the link. I've really enjoyed reading it and wished I could've been there.

Very nice review!
I absolutely agree with the Best of Show. I am incredibly excited about technology. I hope it makes it into a product for sale.

that surround thing is extremely cool sounding. I hope they can put that into other audio equip. And the TTJV Millet 307A looks very enticing, maybe my next amp?

Nice article... it is a little dissapointing that they only talked about the vendor items, but I agree with their best in show [Those guys were great, and it helps that I'm probably distantly related to them] and best sound, though I'd rename that award 'best vendor rig', and I think Justin's [Headamp Blue Hawaii SE & Omega 2's] rig should have tied it. The best sound of the show for me was probably the aristaeus [sp?] and HE90 setup.

My elbow made it into the article. Fame will not be a kind mistress for me. I can see it now!

Nice write up with pics, Jim...and fast!
One thing of note: the Red Wine Audio Isabella does have a headphone jack. It was in the back in this pre-production unit, but will be moved to the front. I spent some time with it and R10s. It sounded quite nice. I always thought the Sig 30 amp sounded amazing with the K1000s, and the 30.2 unit confirmed this for me. Really nice.
