Blue Marble Audio was very pleased when invited to partner with Usher Audio at the recent Rocky Mountain Audiofest held in Denver, CO. We represented the Usher CP –8871’s speakers with our finest electronics from Belles, Naim Audio, Silver Circle, Blue Marble Audio cables and an Schroers & Schroers cable suspension equipment rack.
This was the second year of the show in what is turning out to be a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and catered to the individual audiophile. A well developed floor plan made it easy to experience many quality systems of all types and price points.
If high-end audio is your passion as it is at Blue Marble Audio we highly recommend that you attend next year.
We would also like to invite you to hear this show quality system at Blue Marble Audio.

Usher Audio partnered with dealer Blue Marble Audio to show the new 8871 Dancer 2 speakers ($10,900 per pair). The 8871’s beryllium tweeter delivered scads of musical detail, but was not spotlighted as high-tech tweeters sometimes are. Two 8" woofers delivered Usher’s trademark crushing bass response. Sources were the imposing $3000 Opera Droplet CD player and the $2995 Naim CD5X with $995 Flatcap 2 external power supply. The elegant-looking $4495 Belles 28A full-function solid-state preamp, making its first-ever appearance, and $3995 Belles 350A Reference amp drove the speakers effortlessly. Cabling was Blue Marble Audio’s $495-per-meter-pair interconnects, $795-eight-foot-pair speaker cables, and $485-per-six-foot-length power cords. The throngs of listeners always present attested to the system’s musical sound. Equipment was housed in a striking $2200 glass-and-wood Schroers and Schroers Archos equipment rack that avoided the industrial look of many racks. An $1800, a Silver Circle Audio power conditioner supplied clean AC.
