I would routinely attend the RMAF with friends. I really enjoyed that venue. I wish it would return, but I think Covid probably had something to do with the end. I do try to attend the show in Costa Mesa and I will be there this year. nice show and venue. It is vexing when the demonstrator talks so much as opposed to playing music. If the system is good and the demo music is good, you don't have to say much. Many times my friends and I would walk out of a room because the demonstrator would not stop talking and just play some music. Ho boy!
Another thing that does bother me is spectators talking to the dealers while the music is playing. Go outside and talk please. I would bring a pad and pen to write down the music playing. Many times I hear great music that I've never heard before and that is simply great.
