Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?

It may be, sure. Almost every time I am reading about people's impressions, it is Gryphon, Ypsilon, Lamm and Nagra electronics with various speakers that get the praise. Oh yes, and Wavac. And sometimes VAC too. They must be all doing something very right. I also increasingly hear good things about Thales table/arm plus Ikeda cartridge set-up. Perhaps not quite a reference level but very very high. 

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.

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.
