RMAF 2014 - Who is Planning on Attending?

[JimC]

I agree with Myles. I thought the show was fairly well subscribed for a weekday and expect higher traffic today.

Although I arrived late yesterday, I found some very good sounds from the few rooms I have visited so far. I particularly liked Jeff Catalano's Highwater Sound room featuring TW Acustic amps and turntable with the latest Horning Eufrodite Ellipse speakers. I also found Bill Parish's GTT Audio room with Audionet electronics, Kronos turntable and YG Hailey speakers captivating. I am looking forward to discovering more great sounding rooms as I move about today. VAC/Focal, ARC/Vandersteen, ARC/NOLA and Nagra/Stenheim are among those on my radar for today.

There are lots of opportunities to pick up favorite albums of all modes (vinyl, sacd, cd, high rez files and even a high rez usb card that I had never seen before). Vendors include Ref Recordings, MA Recordings, Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc, among others.....I think I have already burned my budget for this trip splitting purchases among them last night! Too big a temptation to pass up.

I am looking forward to the Computer Audio Optimization session by Audioquest and to the Vinyl Ripping session by Channel D (Pure Music). Should be informative. There are lots more seminars but only so many hours in the remaining 2 days of the show.

It's unfortunate that work and health circumstances have thwarted so many AAers plans to attend but there is always next year.

I hope you guys are right about today's attendance. But if you were here last year, there was a lot more to see. It even spilled over to another hotel. And the music sales had a lot more vendors.

Anyway look for me, I annotated my badge and I'm wearing a Wilson audio shirt (wore my AA shirt yesterday!)

Thought I better get this looked at before aggravating it with tons of walking.

Sorry, for the let down folks.

No need to apologize. Your health and well being is far more important than any Audio show

I hadn't been to the show before and I really enjoyed myself there going to the listening rooms and Can Jam.
