Even if all that glitters is not gold, it can make for golden sound. For turntables alone, we had a choice of three: TriangleArt's Maestro ($7500), Anubis ($15,000), and Master Reference ($39,990). Tonearms were the Osiris Diamond 12" ($8000) and Horus 12" ($4000), and cartridges the Apollo MC ($8000) and Zeus MC ($4000). You would have thunk that Zeus would have taken on GESGitS, but seduced by the artful triangle, he seems to have temporarily traded thunderbolts for vinyl.
Electronics: TriangleArt's P200 tube phonostage ($15,000), L200 tube linestage ($20,000), M100 tube monoblocks ($25,000/pair), and RA Ultimate AC power filter ($11,000). TriangleArt Rhea cabling held everything together. Which is what I'm trying to do after writing show report after show report. Zeus, could you please stop zoning out to music on TriangleArt's system long enough to send some super glue?
PS: Hearing the loveliest of music playing in the TriangleArt room, GESGitS eventually relented. Two days after the show, Metis made it back home.

I can't imagine the work involved. Regarding getting ready for a show: Man plans, Zeus/Amun-Ra laughs. Thanks for ever more fantastic show coverage. These rooms seem more intimate and personal than Axpona did. Do you find much of a flavor difference? (I owe you an email.)

It was easier for me to engage with manufacturers, either in the room or in the hallway (which I prefer if others are listening so we don't disturb them). And with less rooms and attendees, the pressure was less. Speaking personally, I'm very much a one-on-one, so glad to see you again person. I love the personal contact with exhibitors and attendees at shows. As someone who spends most of his time staring at a screen while allowing images and feelings to surface and translate themselves into print, every positive personal interaction means a lot. I may forget names and faces, but every supportive exchange makes a difference. I'll have more to say in the closing.
