A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread

"the problem with audio "shows" is the many variables which to create poor sound."

Audiophiles focus too much on what's not right or perceived to be less than perfect.

"My name is Nomad...you are not perfect...you will be sterilized....."

I have not heard more good sound in one place anywhere ever than at CAF 2012.

Was it all perfect? No.

Was it mostly way above average? No doubt.

Was there a lot of promise there? Also no doubt.

Audiophiles can be a jaded bunch no doubt.

Nice, mapman.

You are the Kirk, the creator.

"Nice, mapman.

Cool.

Bring on the green Orion slave girls.......

Mapman, "Was it mostly way above average? No doubt."

I'm sorry, but I couldn't disagree with your opinion of the show any more starkly. I felt it was mostly way below average.

Again, I'd encourage you to visit the show in NYC next spring. Not that the show up there is perfect, either. But you will encounter significantly more exhibitors, attendees, and based on this (Axpona in June 2011 was way below average) year, far superior sound.
