LIVE Standout Room - AudioNut, Bybee |
While the audio system in the AudioNut/Bybee room
was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the various Bybee products, it also made very
fine music too -- with all kinds of music. Lamm M1.1 amps ($15,890 per pair) powered a
pair of the Verity Parsifal Encore speakers ($12,520 per pair) via Silversmith Audio
speaker cables. The preamp was from Reflection Audio, the OM-2 ($12,000), which is a
custom-built and fully balanced unit. The digital source was from dCS -- the Elgar/Purcell
combination ($11,995 and $4995 respectively) for upsampling to 24 bits and 192kHz.
Silversmith Audio interconnects and a number of Bybee products finished off the system.
The sound was sweet and very detailed at the same time, displayed great depth, and had us
listening happily to the various repeated cuts for the Bybee demo -- which was its job.
