2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet

2011 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest Analog Reports + Meet and Greet

The Rocky Mountain Audio Fest is quickly approaching. Just like last year, I’m planning to use this thread to capture anticipated analog related information about the show as well as impressions.

The past four years of RMAF visits have been fun, entertaining, and rewarding. I go to the show for many reasons but mostly to meet other music lovers/audiophiles and industry professionals. The diversity of music, equipment, and personalities are very interesting to me. A link to last year's comments can be found here: 2010 RMAF Comments

There should be quite a few interesting things going on at this year’s RMAF. If you haven’t attended the show, you should seriously consider going. I’ll post a few things I anticipate seeing at this year's RMAF in the tread reply below.

I’ve also found out that AudiogoN member Cello has set up a meet and greet on Friday night @ Garcia's Restaurant located across the street from the Marriot. More details to follow. The past three meet and greets in 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been very enjoyable. I expect the same from this one as well.

Please feel free to post your attendance plans now and your analog experiences after the show.

In the previous years, it has been suggested that we put our AudiogoN Monikers in the field below our names on the RMAF badges. I think this is a great idea to continue into this year.

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at the show,
Dre

A little more productive, fun and relaxed that way too. I was in your room for that "shootout" last year for a brief listen and just could not get into it. It was late and I was tired but too much tension in the air.

These informal gatherings are much more fun. See you this year.

Dre-
My friend Rushton has told me to be on the lookout for you and introduce myself to you. I shall be sure and do just that. While I don't think I will be able to make it to the meet and greet, I will indeed make it a point to seek you out.

Slipknot1,
I’m looking forward to meeting you and a couple other friends of Rushton heading out to RMAF. I spent some time with Rushton this past July when I delivered some audio equipment of a friend who moved to Richmond. I arranged to meet Rushton and do some introductions so my friend would have connections to the local audio society in VA. The afternoon worked out well. Had a great time visiting Rush and Ann while listening to good music.

I'll send you a message through Agon so we can exchange contact info to find each other in Denver.

Is anyone else thinking about what you are bringing with you to RMAF in terms of LPs?

RMAF is around three weeks away. I've started the process of picking the LPs I'm planning to bring with me.

So far, I've selected a couple softballs that the people showing in the rooms as well as any visitors will enjoy. However, there are a couple things even in this music that can give me a good sense of what's going on with the system as a whole. If certain pieces of equipment are well know by me, I may be able to discern a little more about what's happening.

What no Death Metal?

I'm gonna bring about 10 lps. I will bring stuff I play all the time. Not sure exactly which ones yet. Should probably bring easily replaceable discs in case something happens.
