Booked at the Tech center for a very reasonable 95.00 a night, anyone else going?

**tunes** · May 9, 2013, 07:46 PM

Went last year on my way to San Francisco and it was a great show. Would love to go back again this year if I can swing it. There are several hotels in the 10-15 min walk approx. from the RMAF site.

**Mike** · May 9, 2013, 08:02 PM

Yes. What's the best, most convenient hotel?

**dlb2** · May 9, 2013, 09:18 PM

For anyone wondering, it's October 11-13. Here the site...

Rocky Mountain Audio Fest

**VT Skier** · May 9, 2013, 09:22 PM

We always stay at the Wingate, but there are plenty of hotels around.

**AudioSalon** · May 9, 2013, 09:53 PM

I prefer to stay in the Marriott where the event is held, can take breaks and not have to walk blocks to get back to the event. Also schmoozing in the lobby is fun during lunch hours and night caps.

That sounds like a plan John.

**Rtan** · May 12, 2013, 09:30 AM

I wanna go too but I hate long lines. I'm very impatient. Which day is the least crowded day?

**MDP** · May 12, 2013, 09:41 AM

Hey everybody, This could be the first "Shark Gathering" !!!!!! Mike, lets make a list of Sharks that are going !!

**Petro85** · May 12, 2013, 10:07 AM

That sounds like a good time. I've never been to an audio show.
Was going to go to the ny one but I forgot about it.

**highEndguy** · May 12, 2013, 11:31 AM

This year I can't, my wife will be on labor for my 3 child on that month
But next year :
NYC audio Show 2014
Munich 2014
RMAF 2014

Count me in !!

Friday is the least crowded. And the last two years you would have been better off not buying tickets ahead of time as the pre-purchase line was much longer than for same-day sales.

**AudioSalon** · May 12, 2013, 01:45 PM

The lines are never long, no matter what day you go. This is my 7th RMAF and I have never experienced long lines or trouble moving around. Like VT mentioned pre-purchasing your tickets will save you a 10 or 15 minute wait.

**highEndguy** · May 12, 2013, 01:51 PM

Never had trouble get in and out fast

**Rtan** · May 12, 2013, 02:06 PM

Thanks experts. I will make plans.

Maybe number 3 will come a little early and you could make it!

**highEndguy** · May 12, 2013, 02:17 PM

**tunes** · May 12, 2013, 09:33 PM

Ron,
Friday has slightly less people I think. Lines are not bad except right at the opening time. Lines to wait for the elevators were a little frustrating but really, that's picky. It's really, very well organized.
Chris

**VT Skier** · May 14, 2013, 06:17 PM

You should see the elevators at CES.

Take the elevator to the top floor, and walk down to the other show floors using the fire exit stairs. The stairs are usually open at the shows.

The lines in 2010 & 2011 on Friday were ridiculous for pre-paid tickets. The line was out the door and we waited about 45 minutes to get our tickets.

Jim,are saying it's way better to buy tickets there instead of pre-pay ?

I am not sure. They had the alphabet divided into 3 parts for pre-paid and one line for walk-up. I was in the middle line of the pre-paids and really didn't pay attention to the walk-up line.

**VT Skier** · June 24, 2013, 08:14 AM

The last few years it would definitely have been faster to buy your ticket the day of arrival rather than waiting in the pre-paid line. But the lines in general move pretty fast.

**MDP** · June 24, 2013, 09:33 AM

I still think that we should get a group of us Sharks together for the show !!

I agree!

**Ritmo** · July 8, 2013, 06:50 AM

I plan to attend. This would be my 3rd year. And, yes, the line for prepurchased tickets was longer - silly. But, to be honest, the lines were not bad at all. I will be staying at the Marriott as well. Very inexpensive and convenient.

Definitely interested in getting together for drinks and dinner.

Hey Mike, I'm sure thinking about going,I've never been to an audio show before,sounds like it would be fun !!

**socfan12** · July 8, 2013, 11:57 AM

You should consider going, Mark. Went to the NYAS this year, heard some really impressive gear and met some good people, including Ron (roncagg) who's now part of AS!

I'm considering going to the Capitol Audio Show end of the month as they will be demoing 2 speakers I'd like to hear: Tidal and the MBL RadialStrahler (sp?) speakers. Kanso and Triode Cables are also on display as well.

**highEndguy** · July 8, 2013, 12:37 PM

I can't go this year

My wife will have my baby girl
between that date.
But you will have a blast for me !!
it's like Christmas for audiophiles

Enjoy

**Ritmo** · July 8, 2013, 08:13 PM

Mark,

Do it! Here is a weekend in which you can see and hear great equipment in a setting that is friendly. It is not perfect but the investment is small for the return in meeting people and listesning to equipment that is not available in most cities.

I may be flying there via Dallas. AA has a non stop that gets to Denver before noon on Friday.

I'll most likely take the same flight. Mike,is it worth staying for Sunday, I heard someone say that the vendors pack up early.

I plan to leave Sunday mid to late morning. Two years ago I stayed through the day on Sunday and indeed some rooms started packing early afternoon. However, this is a good day to revisit rooms since the crowd will be much smaller.

Mike

**highEndguy** · July 11, 2013, 04:14 PM

I want to go, now more than ever that all of you guys are going

**2fastdriving** · July 12, 2013, 05:08 PM

Yay! I'm going now! Cannot wait, it's my first show.

Hey socfan,

I think the Capital Audio Fest is going to be great this year.
I'll be in 3 locations this year with my stands. Triode Pete is going to have a Walnut stand plus 4 of my amp stands.
I'll also be in the Daedulus/ModWright room with two stands.

I'll be hanging out in the lobby with my main displays. So come on and visit...I'm a great bullshitter.

That's IF your wife is not in labor for you're 4th child By the way my friend was at the Munich 2013 show and told me that this was a show that you should see at least once in your life.

**Borderdog** · July 21, 2013, 03:02 PM

The RMAF is just a great kick in the pants. I've gone the past 7/8 years?
All years were as an attendee, but this past year as a vendor. I'll be a vendor again this year.
Even though I live in Virginia, I have major ties to Colorado...I grew up in that part of the world. Went to Colorado State U in Fort Collins. My wife has brothers/sisters in the Denver area, so we always make it a yearly event in our lives.
The show is very well run. I've met people there who are now friends for life.

I'll be doing it again this year as a vendor, but I plan on having fun. My wife will come with me, plus the real Borderdog will be there. (I pretend I'm blind and he's my service dog...LOL)

Anyways, come one, come all. It's a great time.
And of course, you have to come visit me!

Not me, I'm done with kids.

And if Mike is right the Girl could be my ending search for complete father happiness.

I really wanted to go and meet the other group that I don't know personally but I'm pretty
sure this friendship that AS help us to build that we are going to have other days or other venues.

First timers will love the easy way of RMAF, is like Santa Claus all over again for grownups.

Enjoy !!

I agree....I am planning on the 2014 Munich show...besides, Munich is one fantastic town: great beer, architecture, churches, pipe organs, orchestras, BMW, art, BMW...alles ist AUSGEZEICHNET!!!
