2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet

2011 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest Analog Reports + Meet and Greet

The Rocky Mountain Audio Fest is quickly approaching. Just like last year, I’m planning to use this thread to capture anticipated analog related information about the show as well as impressions.

The past four years of RMAF visits have been fun, entertaining, and rewarding. I go to the show for many reasons but mostly to meet other music lovers/audiophiles and industry professionals. The diversity of music, equipment, and personalities are very interesting to me. A link to last year's comments can be found here: 2010 RMAF Comments

There should be quite a few interesting things going on at this year’s RMAF. If you haven’t attended the show, you should seriously consider going. I’ll post a few things I anticipate seeing at this year's RMAF in the tread reply below.

I’ve also found out that AudiogoN member Cello has set up a meet and greet on Friday night @ Garcia's Restaurant located across the street from the Marriot. More details to follow. The past three meet and greets in 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been very enjoyable. I expect the same from this one as well.

Please feel free to post your attendance plans now and your analog experiences after the show.

In the previous years, it has been suggested that we put our AudiogoN Monikers in the field below our names on the RMAF badges. I think this is a great idea to continue into this year.

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at the show,
Dre

Dave -

It's difficult to talk about the Telos...you really have to hear it for yourself.

Thanks Andre,

As we noted offline ... no "shootouts" this year. It's proven to be an exercise in cat herding ;-)

The Saturday night get together in our room will be more of an opportunity for an informal get together. Bring your weird tunes ;-)

Cheers,
Thom @ Galibier

A little more productive, fun and relaxed that way too. I was in your room for that "shootout" last year for a brief listen and just could not get into it. It was late and I was tired but too much tension in the air.

These informal gatherings are much more fun. See you this year.
