Impressions: From an Editor's Notebook
"Another great room for music and sound was the deHavilland / Buggtussel room. people like Kara Chaffee and George Kielczynski ("the K"!), together with Kevin Blair of "the Bugg company" made my visit there a helluva good time. I've was really impressed with the earlier deHavilland 572-based monoblocks-these are currently a Positive Feedback reference here in River City- and their new 845 blocks look terrific and sound exceptional. (Hope to get these in some day.) They were also equipped with an SACD player, which made it overwhelmingly tempting to whip out a couple of my favorite SACD's, especially given the somewhat staid music going on in many of the rooms. So on went both Oldfield's Tubular Bells and Spitball's hellaciously punchy alternative rock SACD, Pop Condition. Playing through some of the larger Buggtussel transmission lines, smashing good music was delivered. We proceeded to dance and boogie big time! (You know, Georgie K can really shake that thing!) The tandem of deHavilland electronics and the big Buggtussels made for a room filled with joyous noise...not to mention pulling in a number of GenX'ers who wanted to know, "What's that kewl music?!" Definitely scrumptious. Anyone wanting to check out some truly innovative tube gear should get in touch with deHavilland's designs at http://www.dehavillandhifi.com and Buggtussel at http://buggtussel.com ... definitely worth doing! A Ye Olde Editor's "very highly recommended!"
