Newport 2014. Perfect8, BAlabo, Bergmann
The Perfect8 speakers driven by a BAlabo stereo amp with Zanden digital and Bergmann turntable as source were in a very large room at the Atrium show hotel.
They had some problems here with the cartridge setup and the sound was either combing from the centerpoint between the speakers or heavily weighted towards the left side. Neli told me that she stopped by here on the last day and the turntable-fronted system sounded much, much better.
However, when I got there a few hours before closing they were playing digital, I think from the laptop, and the sound was nothing to write home about – overly polite and missing dynamics – and I did not have the energy to ask them to play an LP just for me.
