I was stuck commanding the fort at the Stereophile offices.

Went to Axpona in Atlanta this year. Great show!

I attended the "Festival du Son et Image" in Montreal as I do every year and I was impressed by the surprising amount of vinyl being played.

I would dearly love to attend an audio show , but the nearest one is very far away . They should have these shows in different cities every year so more audiophiles and would be audiophiles can atternd , instead of the same handfull of locations , but who wants this hobby to grow .

As if working for a giant software company doesn't surround me with enough dweebs, I'd blow cash to go to a sausage fest as pictured above? And have to listen to half the idiots talk about how great vinyl is? And, worst of all, be in some burg where their idea of good beer is Heinekin?

Not on your life. May be, if there was a show in a cool spot where you could get lots of cool brews, good food and there were some nice-looking females within a 2 block radius of the event.

Philadelphia International Audio Show? When it arrives, I'm there.

Axpona Atlanta.  So much fun.  I wish it was in Philly where they have good beer though!

The Newport Show was quite the busy show, hoards of people actually! Great rooms and lots to keep you busy, I went all three days. Nice that they had music and also a bar in the lobby, served great beer.

Highlights were the MBL room, Lotus Group with Aesthetix and Granada speakers, and all the rooms with open real tape decks. Are those guys cheating with master tape playback, if so more rooms should use them and level the field.

The capital Audiofest while a smaller event really grew from year one to year two, maybe year three will be even better. There were some great rooms and then some that looked like do it yourself stuff someone built in their garage (?). The highlights were MBL with the United Home Audio open reel tape decks, dynamic as hell and so 3D, just stupendous. Those guys had the best sound I ever heard, by far, no contests, turn out the lights, GOOD NIGHT Mrs. Calabash--wherever you are .

Held at the Ambassador Hotel in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.  Excellent variety of components from all over the world.  Best sound was in the Wilson Sophia room.  Sophia speakers being driven by VTL electronics.

Not as many tube driven systems, as expected.  Turntables were in most rooms, but the majority of music was coming hi res files.

Best part was introducing a Danish friend to what a system should sound like...he is now shopping.

How about Stereophile having a win a show contest so some poor slob like me can go??

Ok, it was just a thought... 

Attended the local audio event at Overture Audio in Delarware. The featured McIntosh gear in the show. Loved it.
