Axpona

Looking for feedback on the AXPONA event in Chicago in April. I have never attended an event like this.  Is it a worthwhile event if you are looking to make some upgrades to your system?  Are you able to make purchases at the event or do you order and product is shipped to you?  I also noticed that some brands like Wilson, Kharma, Transparent, Shunyata or not on the list and if there is any reason why?  

Any guidance or feedback is appreciated about attending something like this is appreciated.

For me Audio shows are over im not going to wear a mask for 9 hours im not Zorro or the Lone Ranger.I have great stereo system in my home and im not in the market for more however my get a new cartridge when mine goes.Great hobby but its not worth it to me to go to Axpona I have been to dozens of shows in the past.I do not want to travel on a plane masked up that’s me many people love it though.Many audio companys are doing a great business and don't need the shows which cost them a lot of money.

I would strongly encourage you to go to Axpona. It can be a bit overwhelming but it is so important that you  be exposed to many different systems each which has a bit of an intrinsic sound based on the type of equipment used. Plus if you hear a truly exceptional room, it gives you a benchmark for the future. Sometimes you can buy equipment at excellent "show" prices. Tons of software as well. Go, have fun, listen and learn.
