TVTI Live Event
TVTI Live Event / The Voice That Is: An Afternoon with Bricasti Design, Zesto Audio, and John Marks
This is what Hans said about our TVTI Live Event. “I’ve been to a couple of dealer events over the years, and they’re all pretty similar. There are free snacks and usually alcohol. Two or three rooms might be set up for group listening, with a couple of talking heads — sales guys or someone of note from the manufacturer — giving a brief spiel, before talking through several pieces of well-trodden jazz music. Questions are encouraged, with brief answers the norm.
At the turn of the millennium, that would have been enough to motivate a few wallets to open and some hard plastic to be swiped. Nearly 20 years later, though, this sales pitch isn’t enough. Consumers are savvier yet flightier, with service seeming to count for less and less. Now it’s all about tire kicking and where to get the lowest price, with the human connection — and perhaps even the musical connection — getting lost in the process.” Hans Wetzel / Senior Editor, SoundStage!

About the Author: doug
My sonic taste prefers accurate reproduction of the recording engineer’s efforts where instruments have tonality and texture. I frequent live concerts and, because I have musician friends who perform nationally and internationally, my need to play is suppressed. More importantly, it keeps me in touch with the reality of the live performance. It was when I stopped playing did I have the realization that my audio system was not true to my playing experience. That’s when my search began – visiting, and later working in, high end audio stores.
