Nice!

I was able to catch Richard speak at Advanced Audio in Tacoma, Washington recently. They were demonstrating a pair of Kento Carbons. They were using Audioquest cables, but the stock Vandersteen power cables for the Vandersteen amps. Richard talked a bit out what he's been doing to evaluate the preamp his is working on. They were using Roon and a dCS Bartok. I believe the preamp was ARC.

Before that the last time I was able to watch him speak was years ago at a Music Matters event at Definitive in Seattle. Back then I think they were highlighting the Quattros.
