RMAF 2008 - Part 2
by Dave and Carol Clark

Here is Part 2 of the coverage. We were dead tired Friday but enjoyed a fine meal and wine... perhaps too much.

The Clayton P1 preamplifier.

Wilson's new fully modular statement preamplifier is still in the works.

This is "the ugliest USB thing you have ever seen"...per Gilbert's note. A USB interface.

A collection of Blue Circle products featuring  the BC109 linestage preamplifier uses capacitors for power supply, SB90T hybrid stereo amplifier, and SB100S solid state amplifier. On top is the BC501 24bit USB DAC.

Bolder preamplifier.
