AKFest 2009 – May 2 and 3

The Audio Karma Fest [hard not to type Kharma] is right around the corner, time wise, and right outside Detroit Michigan, hotel wise.

Audio Note U.K. will be showing our Zero level line of separate components. When we fired them up, right out of the box, cold, new, in front of doubting ears [ours], it was immediately obvious that they sounded better than 90% of the rooms at shows that I have heard – and that they sounded like a system. Very well-balanced.


As you can see, they are fashionably small, but not small enough to fit side by side on the Acoustic Dreams’ rack shelves. Almost, though.

A full report later – but hopefully many of you will be in Detroit next weekend and get to hear it for yourselves.

There are four pieces, a transport, a integrated amp, a DAC and a Phono preamplifier.


DAC 0.1X ‘Valve Output Stage’ with USB input


R Zero/II ‘Valve Phono Stage’


I Zero ‘Valve Integrated Amplifier’


CDT Zero/II ‘CD Transport’

Vintage Voltage Expo – Denver, March 22

“It’s Spring… and Denver is warming up like a glowing vacuum tube!

This Sunday, March 22, the Vintage Voltage Expo will be the “centerpiece article” in the Colorado Sunday section of the DENVER POST! Claire Martin has interviewed a few of our vendors and there will be photos and everything!

Maybe you saw the small (yet effective!) blurb and photo in last Sunday’s Denver Post… We got a huge response from that! This bigger feature story will really boost our attendance and should place us well above the 1,200 mark! (We had about 900 last year!)

We’ve already sold over 70 vendor tables, but there are still a few left: $40 each or 3 for $100.
Sign up online at www.vintagevoltageexpo.eventbrite.com

Reminder: Calling All DJs: We’re debuting a new feature – with different DJs each offering up an hour of vintage tunes in our main showroom between 10 – 3. We want variety, and if you think you’ve got the goods, hit REPLY and we’ll work out the details! We’ll supply some of the sound equipment.

See you NEXT WEEKEND!
