                                      A picture worth a thousand words....

Richard Rives of Rives Audio was quite impressed with the Talon Audio loudspeakers that he's now the new company prez after its recent demise.

Dale Pitcher of Intuitive Design was glad to be back on the audio scene after a brief sabbatical. Pitcher's former Denali loudspeakers were among the finest I heard some years back.

It's always a pleasure to see one of this hobby's greatest contributors and personalities in Jack Bybee.  

BK Butler of Butler Audio was seen outside his room having a great time. With good reason: the sound of his amplifiers driving the Escalante loudspeakers was top billing!            

Super cool Jeff Smith of Silversmith Audio has that look that says "Life's good and the system's sounding great!"

Paul Wakeen of Stillpoints is quite busy these days with all the talk surrounding his newest iso-stand and rack.

Trade Secrets' Janice Mancuso was all business fighting a nasty cold but that didn't stop her showing and celebrating Reference Recording's 30th anniversary.

I've got to get myself some BOO-SIR-KOL-ALL-DEEO amplifiers. The ever-fun-loving Gilbert Yeung of Blue Circle Audio.
