Newport 2015 – They found our horn crates!

Yay!

They were missing until about 10:30 this morning.

They are now attached to the speakers and everything is working great.

Where were they?

They were out in the Headphonium area by the pool. We did not know there WAS a headphonium area by the pool [Didn’t even know there was a pool]. Now we will never forget 🙂

Thanks to everyone who helped find them, and sorry to be a bother to all the rest of ya. Ugh.

Room 232. This is a strange-shaped room at the end of the hall on floor 2

Still have to add the blue horns to these Acapella Atlas speakers.

The Audio Note front end (CDT-5 transport and DAC 5 Signature) and Acapella LaMusika integrated amp are warming up nicely already.

THE Show: Newport 2015 – The Hotel Irvine

THE Show: Newport 2015 – The Hotel Irvine

Yep..THE Show, Newport, takes place in the Hotel Irvine. But it is almost, very close to, Newport Beach.

And it sounds way cooler….

So…

The Hotel Irvine has only been open 4 months… It is quite nice. Big and modern and free internet 🙂 And Neli thinks it is the best hotel yet for THE Show 🙂 [and it is].

I think all those pipes and joints are supposed to be artistic – not vestiges of construction activity.

The self-parking parking lot is in the rear of the hotel…

Looks like MBL brought a lot of stuff to the show…

Reminds on that this is also a small car show. A Lamborghini…

More exotic cars… Funny to see cars on the carpet like this. Kind of makes them more accessible…
