Mr Joe Rosenthal ofย InsideHookย was at theย AXPONA Audio Expo North Americaย Show and visited the room ofย Upscale Audio

He reports that the system in the room was one of the ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฅ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ!

Partย of the beauty of component systems is the alchemy involved in how they play together when combined piece by piece. Obviously, itโ€™s a foolโ€™s errand to try to review all the combinations represented at the expo (the permutations are practically endless). But two systems stood out from the pack for me. The first was put together by the team at Californiaโ€™s Upscale Audio. It featured a Dr. Feickert Trio SE turntable (with a Tri-Planar U2 tonearm and Soundsmith Hyperion cartridge) running through a PrimaLuna EVO 100 Phonostage and a PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amp using Cardas interconnects and a AudioQuest Niagara 5000 conditioner anchored by two gorgeous Tannoy Kensington speakers that aesthetically evoked a bygone radio era. Analog manager Kat Ourlian was spinning a record by Morphine that filled the room with controlled reverberations that washed over the listener like waves. Iโ€™m not even a Morphine fan, but I could have listened until that platter wore itself out. The systemโ€™s in the neighborhood of $50,000, so itโ€™s not a surprise that it sounded amazing, but itโ€™s the kind of sound that makes you aspire to pick these pieces up one by one.
