Axpona 2019 Meet-UP??

[bobfa]

Anyone else planning to attend?  I am trying to attend all three days.

[Johnseye]

I'll be there.  I believe @lmitche and @Forehaven are going as well.

[Forehaven]

I won't be there guys, we closed on a new house Tues in Portland OR.  Maybe next yr.

Congrats on the new house!  I'll likely be out to the Gorge in June to see a concert.  It's a great venue if you haven't had a chance to see a show there.

I just booked flights to be there Fri-Sat to see old friends and run the exaSound multichannel room for George (probably on Saturday once we get stuff ironed out on Friday) and play NativeDSD stuff, among others.  He's debuting the new e38 Mark II multichannel dac, and I hope to have some unreleased stuff from Jared, et al.    Come by and say hi.

I'm a maybe for AXPONA, guys. I hope I can make it, but this year, my goal is to go to Munich High End.

 

Schaumburg in April is such a beautiful time of year.

I hope you can make it. I just learned @bobfa lives the next town over. It will also be in the 60s this week. I don't think it will be as nasty as last year. The weather was bad, even though we're in doors all day.

Thanks John!  So pumped!   What's the name of the venue?  No idea that there was even one there.

 

And I sure hope you guys are right about the weather.  Not looking forward to packing/moving in the freezing cold!!

 

I'm going to miss the gang this yr. Have good fun everyone!

I hope to be able to make it and would love to meet up with everyone. Waiting on two things to verify I can clear my calendar for the weekend.

@The Computer Audiophile will you be attending this year?

How about @Solstice380 ?

[The Computer Audiophile]

Oh yes, I'll be there. 

 

Walking the show and moderating a streaming audio panel.

Hi Chris

 

I understand that you will be moderating only, but it would be nice to include the worries and issues of the real content providers  : the artists.

Especially in light of the appeal of Spotify and Amazon.

 

We can all buy, build and love our great music systems, without the artists these will be  worth nothing.

Hi Dirk - I certainly hear you on this one, but it's a giant topic that could encompass an entire weekend of view points on all sides. Some artists have never made more money than via streaming services while others have never made less. Anyway, I don't want to derail this thread.

[Solstice380]

@Johnseye I’m hoping to make it to catch up with everyone.  Not looking for anything new, thankfully!  I’ll have to see how my schedule works out when we get a little closer.  Lots happening right now.

Thanks👍

[austinpop]

I will be in the area all weekend, but will only be at the show on Friday, due to other commitments. Hope to see folks there!

My local Austin pal @limniscate just acquired Magnepan 20.7s to replace his 3.7i's, and even before they're completely dialed in to his space, I gotta say these are amazing speakers. 

 

Why mention this in the AXPONA thread? To see if there's interest in an AS field trip to hear the flagship 30.7's at Audio Consultants. See: https://www.facebook.com/download/preview/2442529889315049

 

In case the link doesn't work, I uploaded the PDF here.

I spent some time listening to that system a couple of weeks ago before they were even broken-in.  YEP GO if you are at all interested.  They were all tricked out with Transparent Opus speaker cables and a big Boulder Amp..

I'm a long time Maggie owner and fan but the 30.7s need a bit more work.

I would be especially interested in hearing listening impressions of the 30.7's from those who own AudioLabs or ML's.

I'm planning right now for both shows, definitely Munich is a go for me, hope you guys can attend

Was eagerly planning to join everyone there, cleared everything out of the way, had just gotten a plane ticket purchased and a hotel room booked. Unfortunately, while helping my sister move over the weekend, I did something that injured my hip and I've been in a lot of pain if standing for any length of time, walking more than short distances, or especially trying to sit down in, or get out of a chair. A cortisone shot by my doctor today has brought the pain down to a bearable level, thankfully, but hes concerned about the degree of the injury and wants me off my feet and resting the joint as much as possible for the next few weeks. With Axpona starting in in ten days I'm sadly just not going to be functional enough physically to attend. What a disappointment, especially after missing last year's extravaganza due to a death in the family. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone, catching up with some old Head-Fi friends, and also touching base with a few people I know in the audio manufacturing industry. 

 

Enjoy the show, the equipment and the sounds, and spend quality time with old friends and new.
