Group Therapy > Audio Syndrome NY
NYAS March 19th. Meeting
StereoNut:
I just want to take a minute here to thank Dennis for once again being such a gracious host and having another great Syndrome meeting at his house.
Plenty of food and drink :beer: and some interesting new gear.
Here's a few...
AudioEngine A5 powered speakers

Dennis thanks again for opening your home. nice to see some new members about as well. The Neko and intergrated made the Thiels sing pretty well. Nice synergy. Roy took the DAC home for further critical listening. Hopefully he will post his findings.
In my system it was warm sounding. Non fatiguing. VG bass and smooth on top. The Shengya was very impressive especially for $500. I still cannot believe no one bought it. The Audio Engine speakers were a delight. running off a mini laptop with no DAC had me intrigued. Thanks Paul for bringing the gear and Grant Fidelity for suppling the gear.

You're welcome, Charles. It was my pleasure bringing the equipment to Dennis' meeting. I thought the integrated amp, neko dac and the Thiels made a nice sounding combo. The loaner amp is only $400, which makes it an even bigger bargain.
AcidJazz:
The web site states $900.?
Is there like a currency deflation somewhere?

The $400 price that Paul quoted was for the demo unit that weas making the tour, not a new unit.
