Shouldn't his title "Polk Audio at Lone Star Audio Fest 2001" be "Polk Audio at Lone Star Audio Fest 2011"?


Apparently, he does not like Cardas cable. "(Russ was the only exhibitor to use Cardas, a grave oversight IMO). "

But he does like the speakers (even with Cardas). Great.

The oversight was that no one else used Cardas. All Marc uses is Cardas. Re-read it and quit overthinking it.

I had interpreted that to mean more exhibitors should have been using Cardas? lol, who knows..

Were the 703s on demo there? The bookshelves are the speakers i'm most curious about and haven't heard much mention of them..

No, I brought a single for static display. They will however be demoed at an open house this weekend, in McKinney, TX.

We carry the full line of Cardas cables and they are quite nice not to mention have one hell of a following.
I didn't know you worked for polk Russ , when did this happen? What do you do for them?
Anyway I gotta get a set of these in front of me. It would be nice to have polks in the theater system again. It's been to long.

Yes, it can be read both ways. Since he was gaga in the previous post for gear with MIT cables, I interpreted it as mentioned. Oh well, since cables don't matter anyway, the point is moot.

"I really hate to hand out "Best Sound at Show" Awards, but it was difficult to ignore the sound coming from the Advanced Home Theater Systems room at the Lone Star Audio Fest. For the most part the system was simple: a Luxman L-590A Pure Class A integrated amp and D-05 CD/SACD player fed into YG Acoustic Carmen speakers and wired with MIT cables."

Dan, I do contract work, scouring the interweb for all things Polk, and crush spam on the board, help out with demos at some shows. The man on the streets so to speak, along with Mark.

Dan, it's a bit of a drive for you, but not unreasonable - you should do everything in your power to make Capital Audio Fest (which Mark is running). I'm sure he'd love to give you some personal demo time so you can blog your thoughts.

Cheers,
Russ

"simple system" amp - 4k+, cd player - 5k+, interconnects - 6k, speakers - 18k, speaker cables 22K. they did sound nice though.
ps. didn't get the price on the power cables.

[dorokusai]

You don't bring something new and exciting only to power it with a Fisher Price clock radio with spring loaded binding posts.

I told Scott that myself, that I loved the simplicity of his setup.

Did he revise his blog?


"This relatively tall floorstanding speaker is both gorgeous in appearance and impressive in performance, especially when mated with Jaton Operatta amplification and CD players, all hooked up with Cardas cable (Russ was the only exhibitor to use Cardas, which certainly gave him an edge in my opinion).
