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.

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.

Thanks Boomana. That must've sounded pretty nice with your R10s.

Hey boomana, thanks for correcting that.
I am really going to be missing that R10 Isabella combo. Once again, thanks alot for leaving the R10s at the table for a while, my ears were in their glory. Also, it was really nice to meet you.

excellent review!
You are correct, I had some correspondence with him in the past and he most likely that have crossed the names. I sent him an email for correction, the problem is that I hung out for a few days more in FL, and I just came back today, but that is correct, till now Rudi is the man behind the amps, I just distribute and sell them in US and Canada...that is a mistake...Rudi is also the one of the picture...

Neutrality, accuracy? OK, just ask yourself first: Do you know for sure how the recording is supposed to sound? So for me euphony is all about!!! Please do yourself a favor, stop listening your gear, and begin to feel the music instead!!!
