What’s your favorite audio show to attend and why?

Really liked Summer C.E.S. in Chicago. Saw many Audio Rock Stars there e.g. J. Gordon Holt, Dave Wilson, Julian Hirsch, Mr. Shahinian, Steve McCormack et al.

Also liked T.H.E. shows in Las Vegas when I lived there. Got a textbook lesson in system break in at the Wilson room. Day 1: Sound was thin and stringy. Day 2: Sound improved somewhat but still not there. Day 3: System singing like a bird, excellent sound to beat-the-band. Peter McGrath playing homemade orchestral recordings. Just great!

P.S. Saw HP traversing the exhibits shortly before his passing. RIP

IMO, AXPONA should move to Indianapolis. The show would have the run of the airport (10 minutes to downtown) and the entire downtown is nothing but bars and restaurants. Indy is like a mini Las Vegas (without the gambling). Lots of shiny new hotels, a large convention center, very easy to get around. Think about it AXPONA.

P.S. Close enough for Chicago natives to drive (who doesn’t want to get out of Chicago for a while?).
