Show is too damn loud. Audiophile show catered to people with hearing problems… 😓

@chesebert is the Grel phone there?
I don’t think so but I wasn’t looking for them. May have missed them. I didn’t see Composer, which was disappointing.

Kobo 465 was okay for me…Manley amp was impressive with dynamic cans but fell short with planar. Better than Kobo465 with Utopia OG. I may pick one up at some point.

Which Manley amp? Is it the Absolute?

No Composer? Even at dac/amp amp booths? Well that’s disappointing.

Hopefully I’ll find some nice bedroom/bedside tube amp candidates.

Yes. Eva personally showed me all the functionality of the amp - it’s feature packed.

I saw the composer - Mimic Audio has them.

For something completely took me by surprise. Anyone seen this amp before ( the whole torso is the amp).

There is a version with a clock in the head.

Yeah that horn room in the corner right before the record fair was hitting 95db as a low point lol
I was in that room and had to engage noise canceling feature on my AirPod 😂

I spoke with LTA and they said there is another DAC in the headphone hall. I didn't see it but did you get to hear one?

No. I am in the UK sadly.
