GamuT – Axpona 2018

I find the GamuT loudspeakers to be the jewel of the GamuT family of high-end audio gear, and I would love to hear them driven by outrageously expensive world-class gear someday. The Pneuance folks demonstrated their new Pneupod feet – no doubt the ultimate realization of the old ‘inner tube under the component technique’ of vibration isolation – while I was here. They put their feet, inflated and then deflated under the Bricasti DAC and invited us to compare. With: bigger soundstage, more open and relaxed sound. Without: more immediate and alive. On many lower-end, slightly aggressive, solidstate systems probably a clear win. On this system… it was more a ‘choose your poison’ situation for me personally.
