T.H.E. Show (Newport Beach) 2012 Coverage

June 8, 2012

The Venture and Weiss Room

Audio Precision had products from Venture and Weiss on static display. Shown below is the Weiss Medea DAC ($19,680).


 
Weiss’s ever popular DAC 202 Firewire DAC and headphone amplifier ($6966), now available with a USB option as the DAC 202U ($7864).
 

 
The Weiss INT 202 Firewire to S/PDIF converter ($1346) sitting atop the MAN 301 network player ($9083-$12,262). Note that since CES, the form factor of the Man 301 has changed from a double-height DAC 202 box to the rectangular format of the Medea DAC and Jason transport ($22,707).
 

 
Venture had several of its loudspeakers on display. Shown below are the Excellence II Signatures. Normally $52,000 a pair, they were on half-price special during the show.
 

 
The Venture Ultimates ($59,500/pair).
 

 
The Venture Encores ($46,000/pair).
 

 
The Ultimate Charms ($17;000, $29,000 with stands). Was that a misprint or were the stands really $12,000? Probably so; I think the speakers are $27,000 rather than $17,000, and the stands are $2000.
