Capital Audiofest Coming Up!
Been to all but 1 or 2 and probably going again this year. You never know what you will see or hear. Always something new and a little different. Maybe this year I will even carve out enough time to not have to zip through it all and be able to soak it all in better.
Anyone else going?

@aldnorab - Midwest AudioFest was so much fun. Lots of really great attendees and vendors. Wish it was still going.... |
was there yesterday, a few rooms I recommend: High Water Sound (room 323) - Cessaro speakers; expensive but Jeff Catalano always has a great room and plays good music. Gestalt Audio (room 325) - very cool new speakers - Cinnamon Audio from Portugal; @lalitk Colin King says “hello” American Sound of Canada (room 641) - Angie is running Rethm speakers with a Synthesis integrated and a cool new German turntable. Great system for reasonable price. Fern & Roby (room 616) - Christopher Hildebrand is one of the nicest people in the biz, and Ivreally like his new amp. Odeon Audio ( room 636) - Never heard their horns before, but impressive.
Rooms to avoid - any room Michael Fremer has taken over to play his lps; his ego has taken over his body, and his taste in music is meh. I had to walk out of a Command Performance room where they were showing AudioVector speakers that sounded pretty good cuz his music was so bad |
Had a full day there today. There was a lot to like! I need to go through my notes first to point out a few highlights. The mbl room is one I can cite as candidate for best sound. They seemed to get it right in every way in their room this year even if not yet even close to what I know mbl can do with soundstage and imaging based on prior showroom demos. A class of their own! There were many others that caught my ear as well yet in different ways.
