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!

It was Lone Star in June, 2023. It seemed like mostly local (TX) boutique shops that were demoing all in small rooms. The big boys, Magico, Pass etc, were not there.

For anyone who's attended prior SWAF and CAF or PAF, is the Dallas show likely to be smaller, larger or about the same size in terms of number of demo rooms? Thanks in advance,

Spencer

I Know that Dr. Vinyl and Bob's Devices (me), will have turntables for demo along with cartridges and accessories.
