is RMAF worth a trip

if you don't go to ces, it is worth a trip to the rmaf.

I love the show. It's more relaxed than shows like CES. Modest in price from a manufacturers standpoint so you get a nice variety of equipment--some new stuff from new companies. Good people, not too expensive, probably the best end user show out there.

It is a good show and all the exhibitors that I spoke to were very friendly/helpful and were more than willing to share hi-fi chit chat.And as mentioned by Jig I didn't encounter anybody that would not entertain any of the cd's I took along to the show. I enjoyed It last year and certainly going this year also.

RMAF is heavily consumer oriented, while CES is largely for the trade. RMAF is more laid back than CES and easier to get around. This year's event is sold out, which should give you an idea what others think. While not every manufacturer will be represented, a large number will be.

I am looking forward to attending the show this year. This will be my first time, and I was wondering if anyone can give me pointers. My wife and I plan on arriving in Denver on Wednesday to take in the sights and I will attend the show on Friday and Saturday. I am really looking forward to meeting some of the manufacturers I have e-mailed with and talked with on the phone. I am also looking forward to meet the people that frequent the Audiogon web site. We should wear tags with our Audiogon names so we can recognize each other.

Any advice for a first timer would be appreciated.
