Join Me, Peter McGrath and Florian "Doc" Kaps at The Audio Salon, Santa Monica
for the North American Launch of TechDAS's Air Force 10 Tonearm
TechDAS showed a prototype of its new air bearing pivoted tonearm at Munich High End 2023. It's now a finished product that will have its North American launch at The Audio Salon in Santa Monica this Friday, and Saturday February 9th and 10th.
In addition to the TechDAS team, Supersense's Florian "Doc" Caps will be there, most likely to play some of his lacquer releases, Wilson Audio's Peter McGrath will be there as well to extoll the virtues of the Wilson Audio Specialties XVX and the entire speaker lineup, and I will be there as well to play both Rufus Reid Presents Caelan Cardello, and test pressings of Patrick Leonard's remarkable new album It All Comes Down to Mood, which will soon be pressed at RTI.
The response to Patrick's record has been uniformly enthusiastic. I played the opening tune for a friend and he exclaimed "I want that!"Everyone who hears it wants it. My credit on the album is "Vinyl Shepherd", which may explain why a few who heard it here exclaimed, "What the flock? That's amazing!"
I'm looking forward to hearing these on the new TechDAS air bearing tonearm and of course to hopefully seeing many of you at the event. Store owner Maier Shadi knows how to throw a launch party! I was at the previous big one in 2019 for the launch of the big Air Force Zero and it was a memorable event.
