Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?


The RMAF begins on Friday. Will anyone attend?

Sadly, I can't make it this year, and I found out that neither can my main dealer. I love to spend a good portion of my time talking through stuff with him and and listening to the music and sound that does it for me.

it's a great show, and I've found that by Saturday afternoon and early Sunday, the exhibitors have their gear all in order and tweaked out to sound best in their rooms. There can be distractions on Friday and especially Sunday afternoon, as there's a mass exodus of packing it all up and getting out of there.

The show can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Multiple elevator banks and areas that do not connect to one-another. Rooms can get crowded, making you want to slip into the more empty ones just to chill out and listen. My recommendation, is to plan out in advance the rooms you may want to visit, and figure out the most efficient order to maximize your time.

If you're coming in from out of state, think about going up to Rocky Mountain National Park to see if you can catch the Elk bugling. It's about a 40 minute drive from Boulder.

I think you can avoid sensory over load if you don't spend to much time in any one room at first. I like to treat it like wine tasting. You taste as many as you can and then leave time to go back to your 3 or 4 favorites and see if they still sound as good to you. 

Lots of times you can walk into a room and you will know immediately that it doesn't sound right. I remember the first time I was at the CES 2002 or so and I did so many U turns couldn't count them. 
Enjoy the RMAF. I wish I could attend.

If possible, please visit the Ayre Acoustics booth #9O17 at RMAF and listen to the new Ayre EX-8 Integrated amp/DAC. Does their case work look okay?   Thanks.
Looks like it is going to be a really nice weather for the show. The weekend is going to be mid to high 70's. The hotel has been remodeled and looks really nice. The CanJam is huge for headphone fans. I am looking forward to hearing some sounds.
