RMAF 18

[Rt66indierock]

I'm going to the show and will be there all three days. If anyone wants to get together Friday or Saturday after the show let me know. 

 

This will be the  first show I'll actually be shopping for equipment since my son wants my Klipsch Heresy based home system and I'm going to give it to him later this year.

 

So far some interesting seminars with Chris closing the show Digital Vs. Analog.

Lucky kid :P

 

Are you looking to replace with some entry level speakers like the Elacs or high end like the new Paradigm or Revels?

First simpler, computer, usb adapter and active monitors would be ideal. And generally my reference albums and reference recordings break most high end systems. I have a recipe and use AES20 to evaluate speakers.

I will be there at RMAF. I'm not sure of my schedule yet, but would certainly be up for a happy hour like last year. Especially if @The Computer Audiophile is buying the first round!

[The Computer Audiophile]

Of course!

Saturday after the show works best for me. 

[austinpop]

Works for me too. We can meet at the legendary, world-renowned Pint Brothers Alehouse on the lobby level.

 

Saturday 6pm. Ish.

That's rich, I thought I heard it all. "I'm giving my kid my gear so I have to get new stuff" ?

When my son was four I swapped into my home system an Advent Receiver, an Advent 201A cassette deck and turntable a fumble fingered DJ would have a hard time breaking with a broadcasting cartridge to go with the Heresy's. When he was ten I swapped back the Frank Van Alstine modified Dynaco preamp, the modified Dynaco ST-70 power amp, the Kenwood direct drive turntable with an aluminum  Infinity Black Widow tone arm and my favorite cartridge a Stanton 681EEE made in New York. As well as other fragile pieces.

 

He loves the system so I'm giving it to him. He has the skills to do the maintenance and repairs necessary to keep the system sounding great.

 

And my circumstances have changed so I want less pieces in my home system. Ideally as I said earlier a computer, a USB interface and two active monitors closer to studio types.  Part of that change will be hunting down a pair of Yamaha NS-10M speakers for the office not replace a modified pair of AR-4x speakers I've loved for 34 years but be on the same page with recording and mastering engineers.

Awesome  

 

"Yamaha NS-10M speakers for the office" Interesting. Never would have thought for office, but what the hell!

I was aware of NS10's long studio history, never knew there was a home theatre version as well, weird.

"There are versions badged NS10M Pro, NS10MX, NS10MC, NS10MT, and a miniature version that was sold in a 5.1 home-theatre package called the NS10MM"

I am going to use them as part of the evaluation process before releasing albums.

Just want to keep this topic in the activity stream in case people who will be at RMAF missed it the first time around.

 

Saturday after the show - CA get together - Pint Brothers Ale House in the lobby area.

I'll bring my laser pointers.

Some tips for the MQA presentation.  Try and match this level of energy.

 

MQA, more powerful than...another cheetah.

 

 

[Blake]

I might make it. 

 

Will there be cable fights at the party?  I think in-person cable fights (combined with booze) would be much more fun than the online variety.  Be sure to take video!

I'll be attending on Saturday.  We (Sonore) are not exhibiting this year, so I'll be doing some listening.  Anyone who sees me in the hallways etc, please feel free to say hi, I'll have "Sonore" on my badge, and be wearing a Panama hat.

Would love to meet folks and say hi.

[austinpop]

I’ll be there the whole show., and will attend the happy hour.

 

if you see me, stop me and say hi!

[Derek Hughes]

I'll be there, mine's a G&T Chris, thanks ?. I was very impressed with the Gayle Sanders Eikon launch at Axpona so will spend more time with them.

Hi Guys - I’m looking forward to the show opening this morning. 

 

Would live to read about people’s good finds and impressions at the show. 

[barrows]

Saturday evening get together, I'll probably make it for quick drink and to say hi to folks.  anyone who has any questions on what Sonore is up to please feel free to approach me and ask.  Perhaps, if we have 10 or more folks I will run an impromptu (free) raffle for a Dark Matter system clarifier...

[The Computer Audiophile]

I love the color of these Focal speakers!
