2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet

The Rocky Mountain Audio Fest is quickly approaching. I’m planning to use this thread to capture anticipated analog related information about the show as well as impressions.

The past three years of RMAF visits have been fun, entertaining, and rewarding. I go to the show for many reasons but mostly to meet other music lovers/audiophiles and industry professionals. The diversity of music, equipment, and personalities are very interesting to me. A link to last year's comments can be found here: 2009 RMAF Comments

There should be quite a few interesting things going on at this year’s RMAF. If you haven’t attended the show, you should seriously consider going. I’ll post a few things I anticipate seeing at this year's RMAF in the tread reply below.

I’ve also found out that AudiogoN member Cello has set up a meet and greet on Friday night @ Garcia's Restaurant located across the street from the Marriot. More details to follow. The past two meet and greets in 2008 and 2009 have been very enjoyable. I expect the same from this one as well.

Please feel free to post your attendance plans now and your analog experiences after the show.

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at the show,
Dre

Getting back to the 2010 RMAF...

In the previous years, it has been suggested that we put our AudiogoN Monikers in the field below our names on the RMAF badges. I think this is a great idea to continue into this year.

I hear there will be a Walker turntable (or two) to listen to this year as well. One of the systems will feature Technical Brain electronics and TAD speakers. Having listened to this turntable on many occasions with multiple cartridges I know you will be in for a treat as long as everything else is firing on all cylinders.

I’m not sure what Artemis Labs has up their sleeves this year but each of the past few years has been impressive and enjoyable. It should be interesting to see what Schroder has cooked up.

I know there are more surprises to be shared. If I get the go ahead to share, I’ll defiantly post it here. If someone else has any analog related goodies that you know of for 2010 RMAF, please share.

RE: New and Debuting Analog Components

Burmester USA will be deputing Burmester's new Model 100 Phono Stage as part of their Top Line System. (The Table/Cartridge combo to be used remains TBD at this time.)

This is Burmester's first return to analog since the 80's. Among other features, the deluxe version of the 100 will allow for two separate, independent, and saveable phono cartridge settings, full remote switching on the fly, manual or automatic impedance and balance setups, built in recording to digital source processing, and many other intriguing features.

The bad news..... there are only 50 of these pieces being built worldwide with less than 20 being allocated for North America.

RMAF should be outstanding this year!

DISCLOSURE: I am a full line Burmester dealer currently covering Utah, Colorado, and much of the Intermountain West. The above not withstanding, I'm pretty excited as a individual music lover and audiophile to put this piece through it's paces. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a meeting in Denver.

Cheers,
