Newport 2014: Horning, Tron, TW-Acustic

Either:

a) this room is getting better each show

b) the other rooms are getting worse, or

c) I am going slowly mad

I prefer to think that the answer is a), the room is getting better sounding each show.

Nicely dynamic and tuneful (the Teo Cable no doubt helps with this some), this system just conveys the energy of the music quite nicely, something missing from most rooms. No hardness or over-emphasis of this frequency or that, at least during my short visit [however, most short visits in other rooms immediately reveal such problems].
Perhaps when looking at the things that make up music: harmonics, dynamics, frequency range, resolution… it is good to not over-emphasize one with respect to the others. To keep the balance, to keep it musical.
The organic harmonics and medium resolution of the Teo cable is balanced by the high resolution of the turntable. The lack of bass slam in speakers this size is balanced by careful placement and presumably those platforms they put them on.
Anyway, liked this room I did.

Back to our regularly scheduled show report

We’ll have some relatively big news (for us) in a bit, but for now it is time to get back to where we were before we were shut down for being too… being too… successful. Weird, I know.

But now we have moved the website and are in the same place as CBS, Adobe and Samsung. So we hope we will have room to grow here 🙂

Thanks for your patience…

P.S. No, this guy isn’t me, he is just channeling me and the shock we both experienced last week when they suspended the site.
