Capital Audiofest Coming Up!


Been to all but 1 or 2 and probably going again this year.  You never know what you will see or hear.  Always something new and a little different.  Maybe this year I will even carve out enough time to not have to zip through it all and be able to soak it all in better.  
 

Anyone else going?

I am going hunting, I avoid most of these events, it's like sending the fat kid into the candy store. To many temptations laugh

@tkrtrb125 for sure!.

I go mainly to soak in all the sounds for reference. It has helped me achieve better sound incrementally over the years.

Occasionally I may even end up buying based on what I hear, but for me changing gear is not the first thing I resort to for better sound. No sense doing that if whatever it is you are doing currently can be made better more cost effectively first. Some call that "tweaking".

I also tend to look for any new technical innovations of consequence that might tempt me to change from older gear. This year I am looking to see if a change from my current splendid but older BEl Canto c5i is in order. I can’t fault the BCs performance really but it is older and I know the technology integrated into it maybe a dozen or so years back has advanced. If I find something worth the change, teh BC will either get honorably demoted for use as a spare or I mightuse it to set up yet another system at home that I can just play around with just because in my techno-nerdy mind things like that are fun.

 

@tkrtrb125 thanks. You too.   I know deer hunting season is coming up soon.  I've noticed the deer normally around my house eating all my plants have that nervous look in their eyes.surprise
