Continuing our COVID-19 audio fixings…
Zu Audio arrived a day late due to snow and travel issues. But they rocked out when they got here and I really liked the low-end of these new speakers and how they filled the room with sound.
November 3rd, 2019. In glorious 24×96. Had to snip the Fleetwood Mack song out of the middle because of the copyright police.
COVID-19-inspired audio show withdrawal symptoms anyone? Who knows when the next one will be…
But now that I finally found the audio recordings, I will start posting the 24×96 videos from Capital Audiofest held last Nov.2 and 3rd outside Washington D.C.
A kind of virtual hifi show flashback kind of thing….
The first room I went to was Doug White’s Tidal Audio room.
[BTW I hope everyone got to see The Global Citizen “Together at Home” virtual concert last weekend. It was awesome. Videos are everywhere]
Our room was quite large, and we filled it with music that was musical, well-controlled [except for a little bass overhang around 100 hz and a room resonance freq around 500? hz], smooth, harmonically rich and etc. etc.
It invited comparisons with a ‘live’ performance [not talking here about the overly simplistic demos that are primarily percussion and electric guitar we see out there sometimes]. Wasn’t quite THAT good, but, for me, this is what high-end audio is all about.
Convincingly live music in my room at a push of a button by any artist from any decade.
