I am not exhibiting at LSAF this year.
You are welcome to come listen in Austin.

I am considering a trip to Lone Star this year (my first). As the owner of a horn based system, the highlight of the show for me would be to experience your amazing system. Do you plan to attend?

lordcloud - I just now see your question.
My current digital set up is a Mac Pro tower with NOS DAC and tube gain stage. I removed all the fans in the Mac Pro to eliminate vibration.

austinacoustic

Would you mind going into detail about your current digital set up?

I no longer use that CD player so I did not get a chance to compare.
I did compare my current digital set up against that CD player.
My current digital set up is significantly better than that CD player.

The Ampex ATR-102 in stock form is only a little bit better than my digital.
I have to A-B back and forth to tell the difference.

How does the reel to reel sound, compared to the cd player you made?

We now have an Ampex ATR-102 reel to reel tape deck in our system.

I attended the Line Star Audio Fest in Dallas today. This fournway system was there and was by far, very far, the best sounding system in the show. It was coherent and accurate, and incepredibly well integrated. The owner was very cordial and took time to answer many questions about his system. If you have the opportunity to experience what may be one of the finest systems that you will ever hear, make the effort to visit and experience something truly special.

Thank you

It was a pleasure meeting you at the RMAF and seeing your brother again after many years. For me your room was memorable because you had a setup that was very different than the other exhibitors. Touching the soul....that's what your system did better than any other system at the show. My congrats to you and best wishes to Austin Acoustic.

Just back from RMAF where this was the best sounding room at the entire festival.  I'll repeat:  best sound at Rock Mountain Audio Fest, bar none.  Additionally, the owner/designer proved to be one of the most patient and gracious exhibitors we encountered all weekend.  Kudos and best wishes to Austin Acoustic.
