Thank you for sharing your Axpona experiences. Much appreciated. Imo, the youth demographic increase is due to introduction of 'affordable ' good sonic quality equipment and the reduction of the 'elitist' stigma of 'audiophiles', that is being driven by wonderful people like yourself, Geshelli family, Randy Messman, Bob Fonsecca , and others. Take care, my friend.
Thank you Simon. I agree with you. I just wish their were more affordable products at the show for those just starting out. The problem is that the show organizers keep the cost of exhibiting high to keep out the entry level stuff. Too bad.
I wish I could have been there, but had a rare family visit and that trumps hobby stuff every time. You are the FIRST TH-camr to detail what the toroidal amps were at the Geshelli room! I did not know if those were "Giuseppe", if monoblock or stereo, anything. Thank you for your review and I look forward to hearing more about Jamie Audio - sounds fascinating.
Thanks Chris. Those Geshelli amps sounded very good. Geno is doing a redesign possibly with bigger caps and some flashing lights!! Yay! Flashing lights!
Hi Ed. Well done. The Teac and Amphion room was good. Happy to see Teac. Grew up with seeing Teac. In the other Amphion room I spoke with the CEO. A very nice man.
Amphion is one of my favs. The Spendor/Cryus room was also very good. Too bad we didn't connect. Seriously, let's figure out a way to do lunch. Thanks.
I am so flattered. Thank you Andrew. You may remember that I was the guy who won the KLH Model 3s from you. Please give my best to Kristie. "Like & Subscribe!"
Thank you my friend. I caught your videos. Very nice. The Jamie room was so wonderful. It almost brought tears to my eyes. It defiantly had that "goosebumps" factor.
I'm two OGH videos in, and can't wait for more. This hobby has given me more than I put in. Have mostly British equipment (Iota PA & SA as mono-blocks, Q acoustics 3050's towers, Inexpensive Polk sub, Blue Jeans speaker cables, Denafrips Ares II DAC. Magnificent !
🎉Excellent review wow I loved the rack that matched the kreel I like glass and acrylic....and wow the monoblocks in incredible acrylic, a pleasure to see your channel greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Luis, Thank you so much for watching. Yes the amps are very cool. I am trying to get Geno Geshelli to make them available in Lucite. They are not sure when they are going into production. I might be able to review them when they do.
Joerg, Thank you. Those little Elacs sounded phenomenal for their size. Everyone in the room was taken aback when the started to play. Brand new. The show was their debut (no pun intended.) BTW, they are not an Andrew Jones design. The Advance-Paris stuff is gorgeous, well built and sounds powerful. I lust after an A10.
The boys are actually amp/speaker guys. Ted's partially deaf in one ear so headphones are a challenge. I hope you and the Mrs. had a smooth trip home. I will see you Sunday.
I had a great time at my first Axpona. It is very overwhelming for a newbie. Next year I will have a much better idea of what I am listing to. I can confirm how great the people at Gishelli Labs are. I got to their room early Sunday and Gino spent 30 minutes talking to me. Great family and great DACS and amps.
I am so glad you had a good show. The Geshellis are wonderful. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think I can help. It was great to meet you and thanks so much.
Due to their technical difficulties, I was unable to listen to any of the products. Due to their professionalism, I will absolutely seek them and their products out. They are as down to earth, class acts as you're going to find in this industry.
I just found your channel because I saw you on Randy's channel and I've seen you on his live streams. Subbed of course. I bought my first system in 1975. The only problem was that I was in the Navy and could only listen to it when I was home on leave. D'oh!
Ed, Really gr8 tempo and cadence on the Axpona review video. Makes me wish I had seen the video b4 attending the show. It's a bit over welming with so many brands, and your coverage gives a welcome intro to the viewer.
Great video Ed and it was so nice to meet you at axpona! I know james and i both agreed on your thoughts of jamie audio. We said the same thing so nice and delicate. It was very cool to see a woman owned audio company. I hope we can get in touch with them and give them some recognition.
Mark, I am so full of BS my eyes are brown. Just ask my wife and kids! You can actually hear their eyes rolling when I start to talk about Hifi. Thank you so much for your view, comment and compliment. I appreciate it.
I am sooo jealous Nikolaos. You lucky boy. Let me know how it sounds. A friend of mine has the A10 and he loves, loves, loves it. I heard the A12 at the AXPONA show paired with PMC Prodigy towers and it sounded very good, even for a show setting. I am so glad you shared that and I am grateful for your view and comment.
Hi Ed, thank you so much for this compact and entertaining video, can you please let us know more about the tiny elacs you mentioned at around 4:55. Much appreciated!
They were just released so I am not sure if this is the right model. Sizewise, I think so: www.elac.com/elegant-bs312-2 Holy cow did they sound huge! Amazing bass for such diminutive speaker. I wes really impressed. Thanks for watching.
Subscribed. I am old as well (69 YO). Sold stereo in Atlanta @ Franklin Music. Retired, and getting back into the hobby. Kevin (SkyLabs) and I email each other from time to time. Have to get a visit to Des Moines together. I like Elac, and think I might grab something, to pair up with my Vintage stuff. I guess I am Vintage myself. Take care ! Rip
Rip, Kevin is a great guy. He is a subscriber as well. The show was very good with lots to see. A lot has changed since we sold hifi. Good luck on your re-started journey. Thank you for tuning in.
Thanks for a great video! I really appreciated the quick overviews of each room. When I got to the Jamie Audio section I immediately searched for them but couldn’t find a website or anything else. Did you happen to get more information from them?
Don, They can be found here: jamieaudio.com/series/ Those floor standers are caller the Myriad and have an MSRP of $16,000.00. I am hoping to get more info soon. The speakers are made here in the US and the company's North American HQ is in Canada. $16K! Ugh, I am heartbroken as I will never own a pair. Thanks for watching
I just bought a pair of s.V s ultra bookshelf speakers. Looking to hook those up to a TV in my bedri'm not sure what amp to buy if I should just go with a regular amp or a Home cedar ramp I would like the yamaha products.
Shawn, Thanks so much for reaching out. Great speakers. A lot will depend on the space you have to accommodate a full size component like a Yamaha unit. Do you want to run a full surround set up, I., e., 5 speakers or just 2 and maybe a sub in the future? I can defiantly recommend the Yamaha AS series integrated amps. They are great performers. If you want to reach out to me via email, I would be happy to try and help you out. Email me at oldguyhifi@gmail.com. Thanks.
I am sorry I don't know who Peter Breuinger is. I will look him him up thought. Thank you so much for watching my videos. Your channel looks interesting. I will check it out.
Thank you so much for watching. Please like and subscribe. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

I'm glad to run into HiFi royalty 👑 while at Axpona.
You are full of BS my friend! Thanks. I hope the drive home was smooth and stress free.

Being an old guy too I had to subscribe. Looking forward to more content.
Yes. Us old guys need to stick together. Thanks so much for your view and subscription. I do appreciate it.
Great video!

Dang, I missed the Jamie Audio room. I also loved the Krell Room with the Magicos. Great vid!
Thank you my friend. I caught your videos. Very nice. The Jamie room was so wonderful. It almost brought tears to my eyes. It defiantly had that "goosebumps" factor.
Tried searching for them with no luck. Can you provide a link?

Hey Ed, Great job on this video on your visit to the Axpona Show. Thank You!
My pleasure!
Another great video. Sounds like the show was a success. Wish I had been able to go. I’ve never been to a stereo/audiophile show! Best regards.
I'm two OGH videos in, and can't wait for more. This hobby has given me more than I put in. Have mostly British equipment (Iota PA & SA as mono-blocks, Q acoustics 3050's towers, Inexpensive Polk sub, Blue Jeans speaker cables, Denafrips Ares II DAC. Magnificent !
David, Sounds like a great system. I had some Q Acoustics 3040s for a brief period. Thank you so much for the kind words and your view.

Great run down Ed! I LOVED that Jamie Audio System. Your description was perfect. Very touching sound. Female owned and just a great group. ❤❤
I have reached out to them so we will see.
@@OldGuyHifiCan you provide a link to Jamie Audio? Thanks

Thank you, very interesting video. I like bookshelf speakers like the little Elacs. Advance Paris build really good stuff. Greetings 😊👍

Great to see you again this year! It was a very busy show. I saw teenagers. I’m sure they were headed for the headphone gear.
The boys are actually amp/speaker guys. Ted's partially deaf in one ear so headphones are a challenge. I hope you and the Mrs. had a smooth trip home. I will see you Sunday.

Thank you David. The three of us need to get together for lunch soon.
PS - Thanks for the shout out. Great to see ya. 😊
Any time!
Excellent video, Ed! Your knowledge is needed here on TH-cam!
Thank for the kind words.

I am hoping we can help then out. It was great to see you guys and hang a bit.
Fast moving review with no BS.

I picked up an Advanced Paris a12 amplifier it’s absolutely amazing

I am sorry I don't know who Peter Breuinger is. I will look him him up thought. Thank you so much for watching my videos. Your channel looks interesting. I will check it out.
You would think that after all these years they would have solved "the problem"
I know, right?
Amphion is a Finnish company, not British.
Thank you for pointing that out. I always thought they were British. Really good speaker no matter where they come from. Thanks for watching Gordon.
