Anyone Attend RMAF?

Went to NY show it was PURE CRAP!!!!!

I didn't attend the show but I'm surprised to read that many rooms had a mono type soundstage. I've never had any problem getting good imaging. Even my $20 computer speakers, which are about 20 inches apart and a couple of feet from my ears, spread the instruments across the space between them.

As for the music played, maybe the vendors have heard enough of the Diana Krall complaints and decided to go in the opposite direction.

This NY show was not so good. A new show record was set for the percentage of rooms in which I heard Dark Side of the Moon and Hotel California.

So apparently DSOTM and HC didn't impress anyone even more than in years past. You might expect that if things were truly progressing the "old standards" might get some new life breathed into them? Apparently not.

Now the burning question: Were there any magnets featured in the show? Rumour has it magnets is where the future of hifi rests its fate.

So, given that these shows often involve playing timeworn warhorses, I had a business idea. You know that business that will take your ashes and mold them into a vinyl record? My recollection is that they inscribe goth, synth, dark music of unknown (presumably bought out) origin. What if, via appropriate licensing, your ashes could be converted into your favorite track from your favorite band? A money maker for the industry and you spend eternity listing to the same record!
