We’ve just attended the 2025 AXPONA audio show in Chicago. We had a team of 5 on site: Adrian Alexander, Grover Neville, Jason Methfessel, Robert Taylor and Tom Martin doing video coverage. The magazine also had a group of reviewers covering the show and their summary will be published in an upcoming issue.

Errata:

DeVore Fidelity Gibbon Super 9: $9900/pr

Pass Labs new preamp is the XSPRE-2, not the XP-22.
