ISSE 2008 - continued

to be frank, there's nothing much to write about this year.......... haha i think i enjoyed myself more at the previous show in 07....

however when it comes to rooms that stung my ears, surely i have something to say.... here are the award winners for the loudness contest....

let's see.... in no order of merit....

revel ultima salon 2 loudspeakers and system (i hope i get the model correct cos it was quite dark)

wilson audio maxx 3 loudspeakers ............ driven by goldmund electronics....

i am sure these are all great products but under the show conditions, they were utterly disappointing...... everything was shouting for attention......

they should go to the raindrop audio room to learn how to do things correctly......

btw those guys from henry audio are back this year.............. and still showing their tweaks that i cant understand hehe.....

happened to see the wadia itransport......... looks very cute but i think i will pass .... at least until it gets a AES/EBU output...........

as usual, ong radio was there with mcintosh electronics and loudspeakers.......... as usual, they sound pretty much as usual ........

harbeth was there with the SHL-5........... i think it sounded abit flat in the room..........

at the end of the day, i didnt buy anything........... no CD, no electronics......... nothing..... i was kinda prepared for a little retail therapy but alas........ i tried but there was nothing to buy....

at first i thought of bringing my camera to snap pics of the show and the more interesting products......... i am glad i didnt..........
