They'll be in San Francisco at Tone of Music with their new ATM-300R, a phono preamp, and I think a new cartridge.

The open house in Irvine at Excel was amazingly great!

I had a chance to enjoy three different Wilson speakers and the big TAD speakers. Three different Clearaudio tables, a Koetsu Jade, a Clearaudio Goldfinger, and other audio delectables!

The Luxman, MoFi, Wilson, and Clearaudio reps were all gems.

It was a fabulous experience and I hear the owner, Mike Rose, has more planned.

Thanks for posting this announcement.
