    Re: RMAF

    I’m still TBD. Probably won’t go. September is bad timing for us as we have four birthday’s in that month and loads of activities. Plus, I was just at Munich. Not much going to be at RMAF that wasn’t at Munich.

    We will see though.

    Re: RMAF

    Not going to attend again this year. Since they moved it from October to Early September it now interferes with a home football game. A man has his priorities.

    There are many games and few shows, but I get it.

    I’m scheduled but at 50% odds of making it - Munich is the one I really want to see

    RMAF

    I'm planning to attend on Saturday as we have a family wedding (nephew getting hitched) nearby in Lyons Colorado on Friday night..

    It will be interesting to see the new venue.

    Re: RMAF

    I'll be there, despite some reservations about the diminished size of the exhibitor list and the increased cost of a sleeping room at the Gaylord. It will certainly be a smaller show but hopefully just as much fun. Hopefully. I know there are less expensive hotels but nothing within walking distance of the Gaylord.

    Re: RMAF

    I hear a large number of major vendors pulled out last week. That, coupled with absurd hotel room pricing, was enough to kill my plan for attending.

    Any news on which vendors pulled out and why?

    I hadn't heard that vendors pulled out. The list was short enough already. This is not good news.

    Re: RMAF

    Unless they haven’t updated their list, it looks like they’ve added a few vendors since the last time I looked.

    I hope they have a terrific show. Marjorie is a wonderful lady and RMAF is one of my favorite shows.

    I won’t be able to attend this year. September is a crazy month for us.

    Re: RMAF

    Marjorie mentioned on Facebook that one of the reasons this year's show is smaller is down to the fact that since this is the first show in the new venue they wanted it to be smaller. I guess that means more easily organized and managed, which makes sense.

    Re: RMAF

    I thought Focal/Naim bailed even though they are listed as an exhibitor. Guess time will tell. I will tell you that exhibitor pricing is extortionate. I saw a price sheet. Yikes. I’d bail too if I had to pay those prices. $500 for a MB of bandwidth. That’s absurd

    It will be. Room 4117 and 4118. Both rooms will be Gated HiFi and Next Next Level HiFi. The SN3 will be with Kudos T-505s and an Ansuz D foundation (I believe).

    That's great. The SuperNait 3 integrated amp and Kudos T-505s speakers (were they playing in the earlier video you posted online?) should please the crowd.

    Kiwi

    No they were the Super 20s playing. I am totally stoked on how the synergy between Naim and Kudos sounded. Enough that I told Tyler I’d come and help him with the room. So if you or anyone else is at the show stop by and say hello. Room 4117 and 4118

    Is VPI attending this show? If so, I wonder if they will have the HW-40 playing?

    They're listed as an exhibitor. I doubt they'll have their own room but I'd expect to see the line represented fairly well in the show. I'd like to hear that HW-40 as well.
