I booked flight and hotel reservation for Axpona 2024 last night.
This is my first time to Axpona.
My prime target will be
1. Aris Cerat which I had not listend myself.
How good is Aurora and theire Dac and elextronice?
2. MBL
I like theiir 101E which sounds very musical but wish to listen to therir larger model.
3. Martin Logan
It had been a while since I listened to Martin Logan, thus want to have update on their electrostatic speakers.
4. Clarisis speakeer
I wnat to find out how good this planar speaker is.
5. Wof von Langa
I wish to get a filed coild speakers most likely original or replica of Western Electric.
But I als want to find out how good it is.
I had also got very good impression of Songer Audio field coil units.
It will be nice if Voxactive also display field coil unts.
Theoretica Applied Physics BACCH-SP adio Stereo Purifier - A Princeton professor of physics has spent decades figuring out how to make stereo sound more realistic. Now, with the “Band-Assembled Crosstalk Cancellation Hierarchy” (BACCH) processor, you can hear stereo imaging as never before...

I have serious interest in this cross talke cancelling unit and Dac.
I wish to find out the effect myself.
There could be unexpected suprise as ohter audio show.
I had lived in Chicago from 1998 to 2001 whete my son was born.
I had enjoyed nice audio shops over there.
I bought my Apogee Duetta Sig driven by Krell KSA 150.
It is one of the most musical audio system through my 45 years of Audiophile.
I will be attending this year. I have never been to an audio show, so I want to see the spectacle. But the main reason is to hear the signature sound of more equipment, especially speakers. I have been living in the KEF world for a long time, and I am satisfied, but I have a list of speakers I want to hear when I am there. I realize that you can't get a true demo of speakers in that environment, but just looking to get a feel for the sound of the ones on my list and probably a few I don't know about.
@blisshifiI will be driving down from Duluth, I will try to stop by the DH booth and say hi!
If you have the time, go and listen to the RAAL 1995 Magna and Immanis headphones at Axpona. I just heard it earlier today. The same headphone that is going to Axpona. I took my RAAL VM-1a amp to hear them and this same model amp was shipped to Axpona yesterday. I have 1 tube that is different, but what will be at Axpona is almost the same as what I heard.
This thing was so good that I am trying to figure out what to put up for sale tonight to get this phone. I need to get another job.
I am a 2-channel person, and headphones were never my thing, however, go have a listen and judge for yourself. The phones I heard today are going to The Absolute Sound and Stereophile after Axpona. Just spectacular sound.
Thomas yes lunch would be good. I know good restaurant around the area.Google Min Hin restaurant if you like it? I’lll will treat you there, since you already spend plane ticket and hotel. I am excited to meet you.
@shkong78 I’ve heard a lot of what is in your list, and much of it is very, very good.
Looks like Aries Cerat (and @worldwidewholesales overall) will have a larger room than they’ve had in previous years. This should be exciting as I’ve only heard Rob’s setups in the smaller rooms, but they are always fantastic.
I wish MBL would have the Extremes set up, but I haven’t heard. I think they are in the same room as last year, which wasn’t huge.
Bacch-SP and Theoretica as whole is fantastic. Not for every system, but I’ve heard this first hand many times at a good friend’s house here in MN and have learned how to configure it. It’s a lot of fun, and if I could be a dealer, I would.
Hey guys, I’ll be attending for both a business and pleasure. I’ll arrive on Thursday afternoon to help with some setup, attend the industry mixer, and then be at the show from Fri-Sun morning, driving back to Minnesota mid day. I’d love to meet any of you in person!
A good part of the time, I’ll be helping Greg of DH Labs in his booth at the expo hall as he travels by himself from Florida and needs help at times. A portion of the rest of my time will be visiting my distributors and brands to network, hear their rooms. A third goal is to discover and network with new brands I may have interest in taking on in my dealership, and the remainder of the time will be spent exploring for fun with friends and peers.
Ozzy if we write our Agon name on the pass . Yes you will meet Agon members there. I saw Robert Harley because his name is written on the pass. I met Ralph from atmasphere as well demoing the system.
I live in Chicago and attended one of the earlier shows when it was in Rosemont. My primary memory was hearing Bob Stuart demonstrate MQA in a hotel room where the speakers were flush up against the wall. I couldn’t tell a thing from the setup. I’ve just retired and have the time to go during the week, so perhaps I might attend
