Veteran DJ @jon.jon1961 an Audiophile and has serviced RLA Sound systems Such as the Funhouse for Richard Long RIP on REX @refuge.nyc
A few days ago, though, I finally had the opportunity to experience “REX.” Shorty was playing both vinyl records and hi-res digital files, and by the time I walked in, the music was already in full swing and the system was pumping. The room was completely filled with sound.
The detail across the frequency range was incredible — everything sat exactly where it should. The separation between instruments was off the charts. Whether listening to vinyl or digital files, there was virtually no difference in quality; each format was reproduced exceptionally well. The dynamics and imaging were absolutely insane. I was hearing elements and nuances in songs I’ve listened to a gazillion times that I had never noticed before.
“REX” also has tremendous headroom to spare. This is a true high-end audiophile sound system on steroids. Vocal tracks filled the room effortlessly, while the low-end bass frequencies hit with power, precision, and control. The delivery and timing of the frequencies arriving from the speakers to the center of the dance floor were perfectly aligned — something that takes a tremendous amount of skill and time to achieve correctly. The system responds incredibly fast to changes within the music, reacting with accuracy and clarity at every moment.
Shorty’s attention to detail is the reason he has been able to accomplish what he has over the years. This was actually my third time in the room, and each visit I’ve noticed upgrades and refinements to the system. Every time, it has gotten better. What you hear in “REX” is the result of passion, determination, experience, and dedication.
This system is truly amazing, and knowing there is still more to come makes me excited with anticipation. At this moment, it is by far the best sound system I’ve heard in a very long time.
I want to congratulate Shorty and the team at Refuge for all of the hard work they’ve put into creating such a special place — a place where we can completely lose ourselves on the dance floor...Thank You..<3

I saw this as I was walking to the apartment on Friday as the sun was setting... it made me stop for a second and look. As I walked away, I quickly turned back around to snap a quick picture, and the words came right to me....
"Whatever the obstacles find the way, Whatever the obstacles, continue to grow"....❤️
