SFAF Presents Morning Listening Session at Kevin Chatfield's

Come and enjoy listening to the upgrades Kevin made to his main demo system at GIDEON AUDIO.

For those who may be interested, Kevin would like to have a dialogue about what his good friend and associate Sean, owner of NIGHTINGALE AUDIO, have discovered about system building and have had a most interesting journey exploring how to optimize the Big Four of an audio system:

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
POWER
CABLES
SOURCE

When Kevin and Sean optimized these basic functions, many frustrations were eliminated. However, not everyone is interested to discuss these fundamentals. They have been doing in-home demo's to demonstrate what it sounds like when the bottlenecks in these four areas are removed. Also most noteworthy, is when Class-D amplification is done right. For the next session, they will be showcasing the latest preamplifier from HYPEX that has 140db of channel separation!
