Austin Hifi Inc. at T.H.E. Newport: pics and reports

We always have a great time at the Newport audio show! It's great to catch up with old friends and make new ones!

I thought I'd share a few comments and photos from around the internet.

Sasha Matson from Stereophile dropped by for a chat and to have a listen and filed this report:

  

Robert E. Greene from The Absolute Sound stopped by too:

  

Rafe Arnott from Part-Time Audiophile paid us a visit! Here's the link to Rafe's blog post.

  

Here's a nice black and white pic from Positive Feedback of the Crimson CS640E-III Mono Power Amplifiers, the Crimson CS710 Pre-amplifier and my vintage Linn LP-12 turntable. Below them is the Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center.

  

...and a nice pic of our room from Audio Federation.

Thanks to everyone who came by!

A beautiful autumn day in Los Angeles!

(click to enlarge!)

I took this picture of L.A. a couple of weeks ago from the Hollywood Bowl Overlook up on Mulholland Drive. It was an exceptionally clear day. For those unfamiliar with the city, I'll give you a guided tour; you'll definitely have to enlarge the photo by clicking on it, though.

The Hollywood Bowl is in the right foreground, the 101 Freeway is on the left (oddly, traffic seems to be moving!), The Capitol Records building is just left of center, the stretch of buildings just beyond the trees is Hollywood Blvd./Sunset Blvd., and the line of buildings towards the horizon is Wilshire Blvd.

But what is Austin Hifi doing in L.A.?

Well, as you may or may not recall, Austin Hifi now as a Los Angeles outpost! And we've come bearing Crimson Amps, Preamps and Audio Cables!

The Crimson CS710 Preamplifier with a pair of Crimson CS640E-III Power Amplifiers. (click to enlarge!)

And we'd like for you to listen to them, either in our system or yours! Drop us an email or call us at (512) 236-9100 and we'll do the rest!

And don't forget that if you're not in L.A., you can audition all the Crimson gear (including setting up an in-home demo) by contacting the following Crimson dealers:

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

From left to right: two Crimson 640E-III amplifiers, a Crimson 710 preamplifier and a LINN LP-12 turntable. (Click image to enlarge!)

We don't generally make a big deal about the size of Crimson Electronics Amps and Preamps. We'd be importing them whether they were the size of a matchbox or an icebox because they deliver music better than any other high-end electronics, size notwithstanding.

But I think this picture really illustrates how the Crimsons can be unobtrusively tucked into a room while still delivering ultra-clean high-end remote-controllable sound at 175 watts per channel. The footprint of the Crimson Amps and Preamps together is less than that of the LINN LP-12.

If you'd like to hear Crimson Electronics Amps and Preamps in your home, email us at: info@austinhifi.com or call (512) 236-9100.
