New York Audio Show Report 2014

  VPI has new turntables, new tube amp and much more! Look, I've been awake since 4am and so here are a few pics. i'll add in details tomorrow when my brain and body recover. Oh, wait, near the bottom of this page is a huge sneak peek of a prototype tubed headphone amp by....wait for it....

 

 

Woo Audio's prototype of their battery powered stereo headphone amp/DAC here at NYAS 2014. It uses the TI5102 DAC chip and handles 32-bit/192kHz, a few subminiature tubes and produces 400ma output per channel. Dig it, there's me enjoying hi-res music via the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which plays 192kHz/24-bit music files. Michael Mercer eat your heart out as I was using Audeze cans. 

 

My longtime friend Herb Reichert. First met Herb in 1995 when he was living within a Firehouse apartment in Staten Island. Drove up there from Florida during a horrible snowstorm so he could fix the power supply on my Ongaku (Japan/Kondo). Obscure Fact: Herb makes the best peanut butter sandwiches! You can read many of Herb's articles and equipment reviews right here on Enjoy the Music.com via our search engine at the top of the homepage.
