AXPONA Chicago Apr 21-23, 2017 - Who's going?
 

Booked flights, hotel, and 3-day pass - who else is going?

Wouldn't miss it! :thumbsup:

I will be there this year. Looking forward to it!

Glad to meet up for a cigar if you're interested! http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/smoke/cigar-smoker.gif

:yes: :thumbsup:

Indeed. :thumbsup:

I'm going to attend this year. Think I'm bringing my wife. She has a good friend who lives there.

Would be nice to meet up with some AA'ers.

These are the exhibitors (so far...): http://www.axpona.com/exhibitors.asp...e752-120909233

Looks like a nice line-up!

Very tempting. Looks like a great line up.

I'll be there all 3 days. Its great to have such an event in my backyard :).

Yap... just a few light away... :-)

I will be there Friday and Saturday. Should be a good one!

I should be able to make it Friday and Sunday. I live about 25 min. from it.

Saturday for me[emoji106]

I'd like to extend a friendly invitation to all who will be coming to the AXPONA 2017.
We are in room 1251. The Analog Domain DAC1 will be set up with a Blue Smoke "Black Box Ultimate" server, playing through an Analog Domain M75D amp into a pair of very interesting stats.

See you there! ;)

Does anyone know how far from the show it is to get to Michigan avenue?

If you take the subway it is probably about a 1h ride...

I'd recommend taking the Blueline into the city. The Rosemont stop is just down the street from the Hotel the show is at.

Hop off at Washington and your a few blocks away from Millenium Park.

No posts from the show yet???

(Sorry, phone pics)

If you haven't already figured this out, CTA has a great site that allows you to input start and end points, then see your options for getting on and off nearby. Michigan Ave is fairly long. If you use 900 N Michigan as the end point, you'll want to pick a stop before there depending on where you're headed along Michigan.

Thanks. Hoping there'll be more, and with footnotes ID'g the equipment, and impressions.

I'm going to upload a bunch when I get home.

Some fantastic rooms.

These are the new Esoteric Grandioso models, from top to bottom;

F1 Integrated Amplifier
K1 SACD/CD Player & DAC
G1 Master Clock
Canton Reference 3K speakers

Great sounding system even in such a hostile listening environment. One of my favorite rooms at Axpona.

Looking forward to reports. PASS was in four rooms. Hubba-hubba...
