California Audio Show: Part II (Noteworthy Sounds)

Posted by: Jim Hannon at 10:10 am, September 6th, 2012

There were some real sonic surprises like the noticeable difference a new tube power supply made on the Brinkman Bardo turntable ($11,990) and the positive effect of Synergistic Research's Tranquility Base(s) on a system comprising an Aesthetix Janus Signature preamplifier ($10,000), Romulus DAC/CD player ($11,990) Atlas monoblock amplifiers ($16,000/pair), and Vivid G2 loudspeakers ($49,990). The short form is that both of these "additions" are well worth auditioning.
