Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?

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.

Here is a short video of RMAF highlights, shot by Mr. McGowan

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.

I remember my first CES in Chicago, main floor was white good (washers, dryers, stoves, etc) and way back in a room was phonograph, Macintosh, and of course, Bill Johnson who in a way started high-end.  Times do change.

I went to RMAF to attend Can Jan, the headphone show,   I was looking for strategic partners for a new headphone amplifier I am bringing out. Had good success, saw a lot of stuff,  the high-end of the market is still alive, maybe not kicking as much as it used to, the demise of the middle class is reflected in such an event.
