"DS Audio’s made-in-Japan HS-001…machined from a solid billet of “ultra-duralumin”…features the sturdiest, most expensive-looking Litz wires I’ve ever seen...”

Bigger, better, bolder, and still my favorite show of the year.
Room 709: It is no coincidence that two of my favorite people in this game were involved with this room. Michael Vamos, owner of Audio Skies, an importer and distributor of high-end components in Los Angeles, and Jose Rameriz, most often referred to as "Dr. Vinyl," of Middle River, Maryland. The two had put together an incredibly impressive LP playback system sure to impress all who took the time to stop by.
The system in this room included...
Pear Audio Odar turntable - $15,000
Integrity Tru Glider Brass tonearm - $8,000
DS Audio Grand Master EX cartridge - $22,500
DS Audio Grand Master Power and Equalizer units - $45,000
Backert Labs Rhythm 1.4 preamplifier - $12,900
McGary Audio SA 1E stereo amplifier - $7,000
Larsen 9 Loudspeakers - $16,000
CAD GCD1 ground control $2,200
MosArt rack and platform – price not given

“...the E3...gets you tantalizingly close to the performance of DS Audio’s much more expensive offerings at a small fraction of the price. Highly recommended."

“The MK II sounded noticeably speedier, clearer, harder hitting, and more alpha that the original SL, which it will be replacing.”
