Thanks to our staff writer Jacob Green, he was able to attend T.H.E. Show 2023 and give us his impressions of the best loudspeakers and electronics he saw and listened too.

T.H.E. Show 2023 in Costa Mesa, California seemed to be a success, both in terms of the quality of the demos, and the number and enthusiasm of the attendees. In Part 1 of our show coverage, we discuss the appeal of shows and the limitations to the conclusions we can draw. We also look at the TAD, Sunny's Components, and Black Ocean Audio rooms.

Very nice show coverage so far, Jacob. I got a good look at that Gyphon amp monstrosity at Axpona, but I think it was the Monoblock version of that. It's an absurd amplifier, but it's quite a sight.

Just as an attempt at some shared glory, a friend of mine owns a Gryphon back in NC. They do exist out in the wild. Despite offerrings at much less cost and other things, he chose the Gryphon and is still happy as a clam with it. He has it driving a set of Magicos. Probably not the same model Gryphon as at the show. I believe there are several of them
