Re: Capital Audiofest - who’s going?
Just you Mike. I wonder if B&W will have the D4 series to hear?

Re: Capital Audiofest - who’s going?
This is why I am on the fence about driving up. Might be slim on the equipment to hear.

Re: Capital Audiofest - who’s going?
FWIW I’m going. I’ve gone three times since moving to DC. Bought TAD ME-1’s after listening to them extensively there. Then bought Fyne F1-10’s after listening to them extensively there. I highly recommend the show. There is a chance to meet a lot of company owners and Stereophile writers (based on my past experience). A lot of dealers have their own exhibit rooms. The show is very large but has a low key, homegrown feel. Also a chance to see and hear some big ticket equipment. I heartily recommend it. Check out their web site for a map and exhibitor list. I’m going Friday when it is usually not crowded.

Re: Capital Audiofest - who’s going?
I just went to the Toronto show. What normally is a 3 floor show was a lite 1floor show. Only 1 big time room. Originally Posted by nc42acc

Re: Capital Audiofest - who’s going?
I looked at the list of manufacturers being represented at CAF and it looks pretty good. Hope it’s a good one. Time to get back to normal (not a political statement!).

It won't be normal because everyone is required to wear a mask regardless of vax status. Originally Posted by Ritmo

Re: Capital Audiofest - who’s going?
For those of you who didn’t come, you missed a great show. I was there all day today (Friday). Got to hear Khama, Tidal, JBL Everest, Gobel, B&W 801D4, Fyne, TAD, and Von Schweikert speakers in their own large rooms, coupled with Tidal, AudioResearch, Mc, VAC, CH Precision and many other tube and solid state electronics, many turntables, and a ton of more affordable equipment in a fantastic environment. Got to talk to many company owners and dealers. It was not very full today and everyone wore masks. What a pleasure. Kudos to the show organize Gary Gill for having the courage and fortitude to pull this off. I didn’t take pictures because I’m not a good photographer and I saw many people (amateur and professional) taking pictures.

Wish the Toronto show had that. That sounds like a real show.I did enjoy being back at the show even if it wasn't the best show. Originally Posted by Dylan

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
