Southwest Audio Fest

Any of you turntable gurus plan on attending the SW Audio Fest in Dallas next month? I’m looking to upgrade of replace my stock VPI Classic. It doesn't  come close to my digital side. Not sure where to start. I bought it used 2 years ago and need to make decisions on carts, tone arm, etc. Sometimes it’s easier to talk instead of type and I know there’s a lot of experience and wisdom on this forum. I’ll be there Friday and Saturday most of the day. Also interested in power cords for integrated amp, as well as checking out all the other great gear I can’t afford!

Dallas is not in the Southwest. It is in Texas. Not in a political sense, just by geography.

I am only saying this because I got excited that I might be able to go, if it’s nearby.

 

Just in case, the geographic center of the mainland US is at 109.8972 Longitude. (Lebanon, KS). Dallas is entirely EAST of that.\

 

South by Southwest for Austin is a better name.

Thanks for that geography lesson GB 😄. I know you’re a regular here. Wish you could go. Just a short plane ride. I live in SC.

@hysteve San Diego has direct flights, so I am definitely looking into it. I just have to come up with a good story to my wife.

Good luck with that! My wife’s brother lives in Dallas and he’s a ‘phile too. And much longer in it than me. He got me started in this addictive hobby.
