The problem I have with many rooms at high end audio shows is the value proposition. You tend to get a lot of bling but only a few cases of actual value for the end results delivered. Often its smaller vendors who think they can outperform all others for a price and charge accordingly but are often sadly mistaken. Only a handful succeed, and they are able to mostly just let their products do all the talking.

Lots of the same around here. It’s fertile ground especially for those selling expensive uber high margin tweaks that people would just laugh at anywhere else. Sorry, but its true. A quick scan of the large % of ads posted here for very expensive tweaks and accessories will prove that out. It is the "high end" audio site after all and the asking price is the key thing that establishes that.

It is what it is. Enjoy!  I learn a lot here.  It takes all kinds.

Well, I’m not going to lie and will say with certainty if the sound in the millercarbon room at CAF was a fair sample, we are no worse off in terms of good sound which is what this place is all about. It was near the bottom for me and I did get to audition almost every room there. My recollection is the sound was quite mid-fi IMHO and most forgettable.  I actually felt embarrassed for the exhibitors.   Apparently, the MC wire supports that looked like the hanger wires in one’s closet were not enough save it. I exited most disappointed. I had high expectations for what I would hear in that room given all the bravado exhibited here over a period of time prior.

Nevertheless, I wish MC well in his endeavors. To each their own. Live and learn!

Yup and they often bring their associates as reinforcements in order to help build them up. Be aware. It’s nothing  out of the ordinary when there is an easy profit to be made. 

His wire stands were used in one of the rooms I visited at Capital Audiofest last year. I did a brief audition hoping for the best as always and left. The sound was well below average IMHO and the gear used was very expensive.

Where are the NFTs?   Not to mention the custom coat hanger stands?
