Going to Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - any advice

This year they should put SVS in the car lot.....lol

last_lemming:

All the rooms will have a somewhat tight constricted sound on Friday as all the connections are still settling in. The rooms will sound much better late Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

It is lots of fun to see and hear equipment and audio people we have read about.


You have a nice system. If you have not upgraded you wall outlet, You might want to give your system a present and buy a Synergistic Research Blue outlet while at the show. They come with a 30 day return policy if you do not like it. Think of it as the vacation Tee Shirt you are bringing back to your system.


Synergistic Research is on the fifth floor . Also on that floor will be High Water Sound. Jeff Catalano always has one of the best sounding vinyl set ups at any show. He is an audio legend and the nicest guy to meet.
 Bring your favorite album and he will play a track-no matter what it is. 


You will only be able to see about 20 % of what is available so don't worry about what you miss.

I went to RMAF several years ago. When I think back on it, the thing I recall most vividly was the headphone room in the main ballroom. I heard the Blue Hawaii headphone amp with some truly amazing phones; Stax (of course), Fostex, Audeze and Sennheiser (among others). Had I known how difficult some of the equipment is to find outside the audio shows, I would have spent more time listening to the various models. Enjoy your time there!

Very disappointed that Magnepan are not attending, unless i've missed them on the xcel spreadsheet. No SOtM either showing off the new sMS-200 NEO. Still lots of good things to hear. Hopefully. Last year went into the Avantgarde room and the head honcho was chatting continually to a fellow audiophile (debatable) about her holidays,Germany blah blah blah. Felt like asking her to turn the music off and we can all join in to her natter.  Jeez.
