AXPONA 2015 High End Audio Show Coverage

AXPONA 2015 High End Audio Show Coverage

We were happy to attend the 2015 AXPONA (Audio Expo North America) Audio Con in Westin O'Hare Chicago from April 24th through the 26th to experience two-channel bliss from some of the top high end audio manufacturers in the industry.  High res audio, including 24 bit FLAC to vinyl was alive and well.  With heavy weights like Legacy, Revel and Anthem demoing their finest gear, our ears were provided with quite a sonic treat.  

Check out the MP3 vs CD vs 24 Bit FLAC Audio Demo Results hosted by Legacy Audio.
