What Are The Top 5 Audiophile Shows In The USA?

Have made Capital Audifest 2 of 4 years in existence. Could not make it this year. Its the only one relatively close to me, so that makes it the best from my perspective.

Seriously, both of my experiences there were very enjoyable. Lots of good, different and interesting things to hear at all price points. Biggest problem is I usually only get to spend a few hours there which is only enough time to get a light sample of some of teh stuff there and not all.

Jwm: I agree. One of these days I'll go to RMAF. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Dave, RMAF is very similar to CES, but less exhibitors and of course not much foreign presence. The show is more geared for the public so its more laid back.

Jwm: I see. Sounds good. Like I said, one of these days. We'll see what happens. I'm in Las Vegas, so CES is in my backyard, all too easy. :D

I `d agree with Jwm`s assessment.RMAF really has a nice friendly and laided back atmosphere, just a pleasant vibe.The number of rooms and manufactuers is good,you could hear every room if there 2 full days.

CES is the big daddy in terms of sheer size,variety and manufactuer participation,atmpsphere is a bit more stuffy and tight but still welcoming. If I could only attend one it`d be CES there`s just more to hear. Both shows are very worthwhile and enjoyable.
