[Todd Anderson]

I'll have a formal write-up this week... but here are some sights and sounds from CAF 2017.

Whoa! Sounds like the Cap-Fest was a pinnacle event. Looking forward to more, Todd.

Wow that's very cool. A lot of high end gear.

It's funny seeing those classic Japanese amplifiers going for $300 plus. I remember when you couldn't give those things away. Now they are sought after.

The Audio Room was intense. I've never seen that many tube amps hooked up to one speaker.

I like the Revox reel to reel! I used to be a Revox dealer, the reason they cost more is all the audio is discrete, the metal parts are all galvanized (they wanted to have them last, even in the jungle) and they copped Willi Studer's motor concept, the stator was attached to the housing, and this part rotated while the rotor inside was stationary. This made a flywheel concept out of the motor housing, and were built to last!
