One thing I noticed at RMAF, as I rode the elevator up and down and up and down the Denver Tech Center Mariott hotel: There were way more 40-60 year old men than 20-40 year old men. Way More. Where does that leave the future of high-end audio? I'm concerned.
Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?
The RMAF begins on Friday. Will anyone attend?

So am I. I think, the more digital everything goes the less connection to the sound becomes. There are still young people interested but not many, as far as I can tell. Next generation is more computer dependent than they or us realize. From this angle, it is totally irrelevant whether or not one day digital sounds better than analog. True connection will be lost. Even most jobs that they do make no sense whatsoever, they are not real jobs, sometimes anti-real. |
Well here is a nice show report. https://www.stereophile.com/content/jvs-works-his-way-marriott-tower |
Here is a short video of RMAF highlights, shot by Mr. McGowan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8smrOEbZDE |
I heard the Wilson Sabrina’s with Nagra Classic amp/pre and the dCS Debussy DAC at The Audio Salon in Santa Monica CA a few weeks ago. This combo is very very good. Unfortunately, at retail, it is out of my budget; it sure was amazing though. So I can attest to the Nagra/Wilson synergy. Mr. Wilson himself likes Nagra very much; see his YouTube video. |
