On Saturday and Sunday in the Marriott Aspen Amphitheatre, our own Michael Fremer conducted an Analog Clinic. Each day, down the road at the Hyatt, Roy Gregory of HiFi+ delivered multiple seminars entitled "Set up and Tuning Demonstration", and John Atkinson conducted several sessions entitled "Hearing is Believing—Is Hi Rez Digital the Future of Audio?" What I do know is that the notion that the editors and publishers of Stereophile, TAS, and HiFi+ are forever at each other's throats was relegated to mythdom by the collegial feel witnessed during interactions (including my own).
Pictured is a small portion of the absolutely packed audience for the in-demand workshop/panel that John led on Saturday afternoon. For reasons known only to a higher power, I decided the workshop started a half hour later than it did. When I arrived, just a few minutes after it had begun, the only available seats were in a row of additional chairs pushed against the side wall.
