    Mike I would love to organize a GTG. If you will send me a PM of your recommended eating establishments in the area I will make the arrangements.

    Re: Florida Audio Expo

    Do we have a list of rooms and which vendors are in which rooms? I looked on the website but did not notice the rooms/layout information.

    Well there's always corn on the cob if that happens.

    AJ - Just did a quick scan of the list. You guys have done a fantastic job getting this many rooms booked with terrific manufacturers and dealers. Congrats!

    Looking forward to the Expo!

    PS - Weather in Tampa is fabulous at this time of the year: today, it was sunny and 60; tomorrow, 72 and sunny.

    Re: Florida Audio Expo

    Thx AJ.

    One more suggestion. Can you add the time on the front page right under the date? I know that information is listed under Attend --> Schedule & FAQ but I think it should be on the front page and easy to find

    Re: Florida Audio Expo

    my wife wanted to go to an all inclusive resort in Mexico for some R&R sometime next month.. quick googling told me the Florida Audio Expo is happening. I think I could convince her to go to Florida instead if I could get her in a hotel on the beach (or close enough to the beach) and reasonably close to where the audio show is happening.

    any hotel recommendation? We might stay in the area for a week, either Feb 5-12 or 6-13.

    thanks,
    Fernando

    The website, www.floridaaudioexpo.com is a good place to start. Hotel options near the show are listed.

    For those of you still thinking about it, Tampa’s temperature next week will be in tthe 70’s; can’t say that about the Midwest or the Northeast. So, come on down!

    Wimp!!!

    Its often -70C in WINTERPEG, Manitoba every year. I recall the then pope visiting Canada and met then PM Mulroney and First Nation people in Northern Quebec (1985). With Chill factor, it was -85C. I sat in my warm Montreal living room watching on TV. It was only -25C in Montreal...positively balmy in comparison. Hehehe

    Pretty sure you will be seeing the "polar bear" types out jogging bareback at that temp! It will feel positively balmy to them.

    There are two beach options...

    -Ben T. Davis Beach... A small beach (more shells than sand) on the Intracoastal Waterway, along the causeway between Tampa and Clearwater. It's closer to the show venue, with many nearby hotel options, but usually crowded with reunions and weekend party-ers. Doesn't offer the "full" beach experience.

    -Clearwater Beach... The "real deal" Beach on the Gulf of Mexico, but about 30-45 mins from the show venue (depending upon traffic). Tons of hotels/motels in that area. That's more in line with what she'd like. If you rent a car, you could stay at (or close to) Clearwater Beach, and drive to the show venue.
    Squeezebox Touch/Bel Canto DAC 3.5VB + Oppo 205 > Conrad Johnson CT5 preamp and Premier 350 amp > Martin Logan Expression 13A's and two ML BF210 subs. Audience Au24e I/C's & speaker cable. Member of the Suncoast Audiophile Society.

    Re: Florida Audio Expo

    Triode Wire Labs is very pleased to be featuring our cable looms in 3 rooms at the Florida Audio Expo. We'll be in Room 403 with BorderPatrol Tube Audio Electronics and Volti Audio. We will have a new Innuos Zenith Mk. 3 server coupled to the controversial BorderPatrol DAC! We'll also be partnering with Tortuga Audio in Room 308 and we'll be in Room 416 with Hugh N. from Angel City Audio!


    Hoping to see many of you there! Looking forward to some warmer weather & sweet tunes!

    The show starts one week from today!!

    Sold out in our first year. We could have easily sold another 20-30 rooms if we had them!

    Exciting stuff. Looking forward to seeing all those who will be attending.

    Maybe it's the the old curmudgeons that are almost dead, not audio?

    Wisnon, come next year and we'll put Mr Wayne in a stroller, push him around show, make it seem young kids here are into it also.
