AXPONA, In Association With Stereophile, Announce
Atlanta For 2011 Audio Expo

AXPONA Announces Event For 2011

Atlanta, Georgia – April 14th-17th, 2011

Audio Expo Of North America, AXPONA, in association with Stereophile, are proud to present The High End Audio Show of the Future in Atlanta for 2011. The newly redone downtown Sheraton will host the event. No expense was spared in renewing the hotel, including a $1,000,000.00 art collection. Most of last years exhibitors have already lined up for the annual event. First time exhibitors are very positive due to the tremendous success of the Jacksonville Event this past March. A larger show for exhibitors, with more attendance, is expected.

Reservations Begin The Week Of May 11th

Exhibit space reservations will be offered on a priority basis. Jacksonville exhibitors will enjoy room assignments beginning next week. Reservations will not require a deposit until June 15th. This will enable us to have advance mapping for first year exhibitors prepared by that time. We will also be offering a new payment plan with extended terms. All rooms are vastly superior to last year in appearance and size. Our smallest rooms this year are 365 square feet compared to 234 last year. Rooms are all new with outstanding acoustics and appointments. Access to the space is greatly improved with occupancy beginning on Wednesday at 6:00 PM, for all exhibit space, and vacating by 2:00 PM on Monday. Find more by visiting www.axpona.com

OK, here is the link: Proper Discord

It is a classical music site that has 3 clips of a piece of classical music recorded at various fidelities.

Now, we are supposed to listen to all 3 and see which one has the highest fidelity.

OK.

And we are listening to the on…. what?

A. The speaker built into our laptop or computer?

B. The $10 out-board speakers that we ordered with the computer [my default setup]?

B. Perhaps by routing the signal out the earphone jack into a Lexicon surround processor into a couple of active Yamaha speakers? [my other setup]?

The point is that the vast majority of people will answer A. Then take this test and will not be able to tell which is the highest fidelity. And this is supposed to show that people have no ears?

What it shows is that the people running the test have no concept or respect for the quality of audio playback equipment and what it means in terms of being able to hear the music with greater ability and insight.

Anyway, there is also a part 2 to the article, which I have not read – but the test is meaningless IMHO.
