Any thoughts on the Kawero!

I thought the Kondo/Kawero system was one of the best sounds at the show, but what do I knowā€¦:thinking:

How was the bass? I found it somewhat wallowy last year, but generally the sound was excellent. Could have been room or setup, although that looks pretty similar this year!

There was a mixed reaction, I enjoyed it, others didnā€™t like the speakers.
There is a definite change in the Kondo sound with the modern stuff, it is excellent quality but if you like the like the old Kondo sound/colouration) then this wasnā€™t it.

Probably why Definitive donā€™t stock any of the gear on display here and still get M77 and Ongaku made for them

Was the Ginga playing? Iā€™ve never heard it.

Yes, i was working on the assumption that it was making a major contribution to the excellent sound quality. I thought the bass was great, punchy but not overblown.

I was amazed by the sheer number of Kronos TTs being used throughout the show - at least 10 or so. I met Louis Desjardins (designer/proprietor of Kronos) in one of those rooms and introduced myself as the owner of No 4. He immediately said ā€œthe Kronos cakeā€ and shook my hand very enthusiastically.

He gave me a demo of the TT with and without the bottom platter running - it did make a big difference!

What would I want tanned legs for? The only people who want tanned legs are -

  1. Women
  2. Common tradesmen
