The system entire, warming up. Audio Note CDT-Five transport and DAC Five Signature, Acapella La Musika integrated amp, HRS SXR rack, Acapella Fondata Silenzio platform and pucks. And Acapella Cellini loudspeakers.

Thanks again to Audio Note U.K. for contributing the awesome digital front end. They make us smile everytime we hear them – a clearly audible improvement over other digital.

JV at the Tokyo International Audio Show

Looks like JV got to go to the Tokyo International Audio show 2015. Japan, the home of the most avid audiophiles in the world.

Tokyo HiFi Show

In some ways, this exhibit-by-invitation-only show is interesting because of which non-Japan manufacturers got invited [I know I am simplifying things, but let’s continue].

Vivid (South Africa), Avantgarde, Lansche Einstein and a few others from Germany; Magico, Rowland from the U.S., Piega from Switzerland, …

… and then how familiar and ubiquitous the brands from Japan are here in the U.S.

Anyway, their show report was an enjoyable read.

For us, it is this show, Hong Kong, and, of course, the Munich show are the ones that are ascendant… Poor old CES [which is to say… see you at CES in a few months! :-)]
