An inside view of the 100Wpc Mark Levinson No.383 integrated amp ($5995) with its cute
little remote. It looks more substantial in person than the picture can convey.
The little Musical Design D-75B 75Wpc solid-state amp ($795) made some wonderful music
driving Paragon speakers at T.H.E. Show.
Wavelength's Cosine-V upsampling DAC (left, $4500
with volume control and $3750 without) and cute little Mercury single-stage amp ($5000 per
pair) caught visitors' eyes upon entering the Wavelength/Nirvana room.
Cliffhanger Audio's Bulldog speaker ($3699 per pair) sounded very good in the open hall at
the Hilton. It sat in the vast open space and pounded out subwoofer-like bass.
Energy's new additions to their Veritas line include (left to right): V2.4 ($3500 per
pair), V2.3 ($2500 per pair), V2.2 ($1500 per pair), V2.1 ($1000 per pair). Far right, top
to bottom are the V2.0R ($1000 per pair) and V2.0C center-channel ($800 each). All use
woofers made of a poly/talc/aluminum combination.
