Axpona 2016 - What's On Your List?

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I will arrive by 10 and need to be home for the opening face-off of the Blackhawks game at 2. So much to see and so little time!!

Focal/MicroMega - 3rd floor (I think)
Avantgarde Uno XD - 5th floor - at the end of the hall, the left
MBL 101 Xtremes (lower lobby) - go down the escalators to the basement.
VAC/Von Schweikert room - basement
KEF Blade 2/Parasound room - basement
Big Tidal room - Tidal speakers with Tidal amps.
Sonus Faber/ARC GS150 - 12th floor.

On the lower level the room featuring D'Agostino with Wilson Alexias and a DcS digital player is exceptional. They have this giant battery device that allows them to run the whole rig without being connected to the power grid. It was the best sounding room in my judgement.

If you visit this room, make sure you wait for the front centre chair. It is worth the wait. The room sounds very bad at the back row of chairs.

Has anyone been to Room 532, THE TAPE ROOM?

What new Anaolgue Production tapes are playing?

Any info on the catalogue and prices Analogue Production are proposing?

Do you have an idea of what phonostage you might go for? I like the Lamm, but adjustability for loading is not "on the fly". I love the VAC Statement, it would be a dream piece, but it's beyond my budget right now. The Aesthetix has too many tubes (never thought I would say that). The Tenor has received high praise. I definitely want a tube phonostage with on the fly loading adjustability and options.

As for the Lamm, are you thinkin the two or four chassis unit?

BTW, I'm seriously thinking of going. Does anyone know if the Rockport Lyra's are going to be there?

What's high on your list for Axpona 2016?

For me...

1. See all the awesome Audioshark folks! Hang out, listen together and share a few drinks and laughs.
2. MQA (more listening, more evaluation)
3. Avantgarde Uno XD's - a lot of work has gone in to getting a pair for the show. Can't wait to hear them!! Avantgarde Germany told me they are most proud of the Uno XD....it's taken the biggest leap in performance they clean over the previous generation.
4. Very excited to hear what Magico is bringing to the show. Fingers crossed its the S5 mk2!! :)
5. I'm on the hunt for a killer solid state amp brand that won't break the bank. Parasound? Listening required!
6. Hang out with the Lampi gang. Always fun.
7. Check out the new D'Agostino gear. Did someone say, "Eye Candy"?
8. Dispel rumors of the infamous and to day, mysterious Salon 3. :)
9. Check out the new VAC 200iQ amps (DROOL!) and say hello to my friends and neighbors at VAC.
10. Check out the latest and greatest products from all my brands.
