wisnon Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Darn... I wish I could make it. Family politics dictates otherwise. Imagine Jussi and Eno and Jared and Mark and Gary and Dirk and Mike and Matej and Emile, and, and...et al will be there! Sigh... Link to comment
Allan F Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I guess Mark Waldrep wasn't invited. Seriously, quite an impressive lineup. Unfortunately, it's just too far and too expensive to go.

EuroDriver Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 The excitement DSD512 May Fest has gone up another big notch, Chris Connaker is coming ! With Chris, Jussi Laako, Jared Sacks, we have drawn Full DSD / Computer Audio House :-) As to delivering the sonics we are confident, the Giya G1's have a gorgeous sound, the Taiko mono bloc power amps are optimized for working with DAC's with built in volume controls, and they are just singing in their new all alluminium cases.

EuroDriver Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 The event went very well. Quite a few people said it was the best sound they ever heard ! elberoth said only the new Magico speakers powered by the Solution 701 monoblocs sounded better than our system which costs a fraction of the price of the Solution setup A highlight was Jussi talk during the tech session Sound Test, Monaco Consultant to Sound Galleries Monaco, and Taiko Audio Holland e-mail [email protected] Link to comment
