2023 Pacific Audio Fest: Musings, meditations, observations, and random thoughts! Parts 1, 2, 3, 4

06-28-2023 | By Jeff Day |

Part 4

The VAC & Von Schweikert room had an impressive looking "high-end" style of system on display.

Also a VAC static display ...

Bella Sound also had a "high-end" style of audio system on display.

Really beautiful looking audio kit!

The Naim / Focal group also had an impressive "high-end" style of audio system on display.

The Ideon Audio room was "creating music out of digits"!

The Just Audio 'Crazy Lenny' rooms were ... well ... crazy!

Also had some pretty good sound going on with a selection of vintage and used kit!

Nola also had an impressive "high-end" style of audio system setup.

Black Ocean Audio & VTL room had a nice system setup.

The Infigo Audio room had a cool audio system setup!

I wasn't familiar with Wells Audio, but they had one of the best sounding audio systems at the Fest!

The Pure Audio Project room was another great sounding room - glad to see these innovative thinkers from Israel back at the Fest in 2023!

They also had a cool record carrying bag that can fit over a dozen records and a notebook computer for LP listeners on the go!

The ModWright Instruments room had a nice looking system on display!

I suppose I should list my favorite sounding rooms at the Fest.

No surprise here, but the Audio Note (UK) room was my favorite. They just know how to make music sound like I want it to sound: Rich, full of life and emotion, and great sound quality. Kudos to Adrien for the great system setup!

The Audio Note (UK) system.

The Cabasse room with their affordable $4000 USD system blew me away with its musicality, sound quality, and all in one approach to streaming audio. 

Don't let the looks fool you, this diminutive system provided a big sound, and systems like this may very well be the future of audio!

Cabasse was demoing their Rialto system, designed for use as a stand alone 2-channel audio system, or if you prefer you can add it to your audio-visual system, or even do a multi-room home install with it.

The Wells Audio system impressed the heck out of me. Great sound, superb musicality, just an all around great performer!

The Audio Group Denmark room also impressed me with its superb sound quality. I haven't heard their kit before, but this all digital system really impressed me.

My apologies to anyone who I missed. I'm not sure how it happened but I lost a bunch of Fest photos, so I know I missed some of you. Sorry about that.

Pacific Audio Fest 2023 was a success and I'm already looking forward to PAF 2024!

As always, thanks for stopping by, and may the tone be with you!
