The 2nd California Audio Show is just a week away, and details of systems are coming in gradually. Before I talk about the details, I want to encourage attendees to pick up a copy of the Official Directory to the 2nd CAS. In addition to 4 new commentaries by Dagogo reviewers, there will also be 3 new reviews prepared for the OD on a pair of speakers, a CD player and a preamplifier. These reviews will be published on Dagogo on August 15, 2011.
