I want to thank everybody who came, it was a fun day! I want to also thank Charles for bringing over the Aqua Dac and transport it was a real ear opener, I was really impressed.

It sounded very open and dynamic,  but also had beautiful tone and timbre.
Very nice indeed! Top tier digital that's for sure.

Sorry, Shek. We were just having too much of a good time

Joe  has a real sweet system in a beautiful  dedicated room.

The PS Audio and Aqua Hifi digital sure had the vinyl aficionados attention for sure.

Long live Redbook!

[Emil]

I do have a couple of pics on my cell phone. I just need to figure out how to post them here

[Triode Pete]

Thanks, Joe, for being a wonderful host, as usual!

Your system sounded great... a very relaxing, enjoyable sound...

The difference in DAC's was interesting as well! A very fun day (despite the traffic!)! 

Thanks again,
Pete

Thanks for hosting Joe, it was good seeing those who came. It's been a long time. Your system sounded great, as usual and Charlie's DAC was surprising. It started off a bit strident, but then it changed completely to a warmer, dynamic, open and detailed sound that was truly enjoyable. Who says warm-up isn't real?

And thanks Emil for driving (2 1/2 hours there and 1 1/2 hours home) in the wonderful traffic on the Belt Pkwy. What in the world would it look like if LI had to ever be evacuated?

You can always use a boat

[BobM]

That's the plan.

1) grab the guns
2) get the money
3) get the food
4) commandeer a boat
5) float away from the zombies

Sounds familiar

Hey Emil,
You left an x-ray cd here. Do you need it, I'll mail it back to you, if so.

No wonder it didn't play, lol

Is this the meeting agenda fro the next Rave?

Nah. Just toss it.

Thanks

  Joe thanks for hosting. Company, food and system first class. The sound of the Aqua Formula DAC and Vida transport once warmed up was a pure joy to hear with your SET based system.
 Later in the day when the crowd was gone when we did some serious listening the tonality and harmonics were just staggering. We clearly discerned the Sax's mouthpiece and the harmonic of the bell so naturally. Joe Banamasso acoustic guitar swelled with harmonic overtones. Ella's voice was magical and Louie's sibilant vocals through his teeth were spot on. Zero stringent sound here, just a natural tonality so non digital it was scary. Body, weight ,drive with bass and tempo for the ages.
 Got to tell ya was a bit nervous knowing that digital gear in general once dis connected needs a day or two to come back 100%.
  However after a couple of hours and especially at night the sound was just marvelous. Yes break-in and warm up are real issues.
  TBA a day with AQUA and INNUOS music server and GTA 3R custom speakers at my home.
