Capital Audiofest Coming Up!


Been to all but 1 or 2 and probably going again this year.  You never know what you will see or hear.  Always something new and a little different.  Maybe this year I will even carve out enough time to not have to zip through it all and be able to soak it all in better.  
 

Anyone else going?

@reubent the last Midwest Audio fest was the 1st show I attended since CES moved out of Chicago. Two friends went with me. First time we Missourians ever had Kewpie Burgers. It was a thrill to meet Dr. Bruce Edgar, hear Supravox field coil speakers and hear Odyssey speakers and amps. It was a blast. Wish it was still going.

My next dream was to visit the show in Colorado. Unfortunately, it closed down as well. I won't  make Capital Audio fest because of work. People if you get a chance to visit any show do it. They are educational and great fun.

Thanks,

@aldnorab - Midwest AudioFest was so much fun. Lots of really great attendees and vendors. Wish it was still going....

An to be there all day today, we'll try to hook up.

Not sure where I'll be, usually start with breakfest in the hotel restaurant, seem to be tradition for me now.

Wanted to be there yesterday but my furnace prevented that.

Hoping to find something special in the smaller rooms.

Take care.

was there yesterday, a few rooms I recommend:

High Water Sound (room 323) - Cessaro speakers; expensive but Jeff Catalano always has a great room and plays good music.

Gestalt Audio (room 325) - very cool new speakers - Cinnamon Audio from Portugal; @lalitk Colin King says “hello”

American Sound of Canada (room 641) - Angie is running Rethm speakers with a Synthesis integrated and a cool new German turntable.  Great system for reasonable price.  

Fern & Roby (room 616) - Christopher Hildebrand is one of the nicest people in the biz, and Ivreally like his new amp.

Odeon Audio ( room 636) - Never heard their horns before, but impressive.

 

Rooms to avoid - any room Michael Fremer has taken over to play his lps; his ego has taken over his body, and his taste in music is meh.  I had to walk out of a Command Performance room where they were showing AudioVector speakers that sounded pretty good cuz his music was so bad
