Shows
Another triple-header show month? Almost a quadruple header: Montreal, Axpona and Munich… with Newport not far after.
A nice Montreal Show Report by Canada HiFi
Mike Fremer describes Patricia Barber’s set at Axpona well. We like Patricia Barber, but only when we do not hear her in an exhibition room at a show [where it was played to death several years ago, from which we never recovered :-)].
HiFi Pig is trying to corner the market on Munich High End 2015 news and doing a good job at it.
Other Stuff
Inner Fidelity has a headphone shootout that looks promising.
Retro hi-fi always entertains me. That turntable above is JUST what we are looking for… [Riiiight, Neli? :-)]
And another article from the same site: Realistic High Fidelity Horn Loudspeakers and Enclosures – 1956
That’s hi-fi for now folks. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
I’ve entered a show worm hole, I think. Four shows in five weeks, with 18,000 air miles and 2,000 road miles. I’m halfway home from AXPONA as I type this. Vancouver, newly added to the calendar, is next, followed days later by Munich, then Newport Beach. By the time we hit June, I’ll be sitting Ina corner babbling to myself.
Hi Dave,
And for show goers, it might cause severe inflammations of which-show-itus paralysis.
There is a 99% chance we will be at Newport Beach [the show we chose because it is a) fun, b) successful, and c) we can drive there in the car]. Munich would be second on the list.
Thanks for putting up the good fight, Dave!
Take care,
-Mike
