2013 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet


2013 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet

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

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

The past five 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: 2012 RMAF Comments

AudiogoN member Cello has set up a meet and greet on Friday night @ Garcia's Restaurant located across the street from the Marriot. The past four meet and greets in 2008, 2009 2010, 2011, and 2012 have been very enjoyable. I expect the same from this one as well.

When: Friday, October 11th, 2013

Where:
Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant
5050 South Syracuse
Denver, CO
Tel# 303-779-4177
Directly across the street from Marriott Tech Center
(Back Room)

Hi All,

This will be our 5th Meet & Greet at Garcia’s at the 2013 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. It will be Friday evening from 6-8 at Garcia’s across the street from the Marriott.
If you would like a copy of the flyer, send a PM
Please come and join us between 6-8 PM @ Garcia’s Restaurant directly across the street from the Marriott Tech hotel (we have reserved the back room).

Garcia’s has been kind enough to extend a 2 for 1 drink special to us (along with free Chips and Salsa) for Margaritas and Beer. You can also order food and have dinner as well.


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'm looking forward to meeting (and catching up with) many of you at the show,
Dre

Looking forward to hearing the Saskia II with the Schroder LT. I never got to hear the original Saskia but heard good things about it.

I was hoping a Tech Das Air Force One would be at RMAF. I don't see it in the listing of products on the RMAF website though.

I look forward to hearing the Schroder LT in the Xact Audio room on the Beat TT again as well.

It appears that Dertonearm will be at RMAF showing his Axiom tonearm in room 9023.

Any other Agon members showing analog equipment?

Is so, what room? Raul?
I will be in the main ballroom with a VPI Classic 4 with 3D tonearms and Bob's Devices SUTs.
Paul and I heard the original Saskia at RMAF several years ago. It was, hands down, the best turntable we'd ever heard.

Glad to see that Win's still going strong and apparently has found ways to improve an already stunning performer.

At one time he and I chatted about a "Saskia Jr.", built to a price point to enable those with more limited budgets to enjoy (some of) what he's created. One can dream...
I hope to meet a lot of you guys. Don't forget the Meet and Greet! If you manage to make it to the room, we might even play a 78 for you.

Doug,
To quote Judy Garland's song, "And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true." Better late than never, I suppose.
