Southwest Audiofest


  Hello to all and may your Spring be "berry"  merry !

  Well sorry for the "corny" greeting, oops did it again. I am reaching out for help from you avid posters as well as the mostly readers rarely posters like me. 

  My wife and I will be in Dalles Saturday to attend the first ever Southwest Audiofest and our first ever Audiofest. I have yet to post my modest system but most of what I have and a lot of my audio  knowledge comes from sources like this forum with its wealth of contributers.

 We are attending to hear and see the stuff that I have seen and some have heard in the glossy trade magazines, a few dealerships, My brother's house!!! and your posted systems WoW on that !! I want to see the real estate priced components and the closer to earth stuff too. Please is there a protocol or etiquette do or don't dos?  What do you recommend to make us agog, stunned, smile ? What should we not miss? What lesser known "brands" are THE ones to visit I am asking what would you do if not auditioning or shopping??  Thank you verry much for helping

I'm attending also. My advice is to plan ahead by determining what rooms you want to visit. Google Southwest Audio Fest and you can see what Exhibitors will attend and their room numbers.

No crazy stories for me. I have met some very good people at shows over the years and became very good friends with two of them. 

Some rooms will be more crowded than others. Although hotel rooms may not be optimal, it still a great way to hear different components. 

I'm only looking for new speaker cables and power cords, so I plan on going to the Albedo Cables room. I really just want to support the audio fest.
