Well, new to me anyway…
Twittering Machines… [what a name, eh?] about non-twittering machines, thankfully, i.e. audio and music.
Added to our rather sizable Audiophiles Guide to the Galaxy: High-end Audio Magazines and Blogs
Audio Quarterly Magazine…
AQ has a new lease of life. They were at one time the premium hifi and music magazine in the UK. Similar to say Fi in the UK.
Please see our their magazine site and journal. AQ will have a new publishing schedule for print 2019
[I never had the pleasure but LOVE seeing new magazines help cover our awesome industry / guilty pleasure]
We got an email yesterday…
First, please know AXPONA will not be moving to the fall dates as stated last week but will remain in April for 2020 and beyond.
… and it goes on to indicate things are back to normal.
I guess this all served to get people to think about the yearly show schedules and what was important about each show, and which ones were worth the effort… as if we needed to think about this more, haha, and which we seem to spend more time on these days than actually going to the shows themselves.
*cranky*
We got this email from Axpona today. I guess, in an attempt to give the Munich HighEnd show goers a break, they are trying to distance themselves further [than the month April 19th to May 14th] than they were before by moving their show to the Fall…
“The first-class Renaissance Schaumburg venue that was so well received in 2018 has now been secured as our permanent home, enabling us to move our dates to the fall beginning in 2020 and to accommodate an additional day on Thursday to be used exclusively as a professional industry only “Trade and Press Day”. Following the upcoming April 12-14, 2019 show, the next AXPONA will be held October 29-November 1, 2020″
So if 2020 is anything like 2018 we will have:
RMAF Oct. 5 to Oct 7 in Denver
Toronto AudioFest Oct 19 – 21 in Toronto
Axpona Oct 29 – Nov 1 in Chicago
Capital AudioFest on Nov, 2 – 4 in Washington D.C.
We [at least Neli, and maybe me too] is going to Capital Audiofest in D.C. this year to support Old Forge Studio as they are hoping to be able show the Acapella “La Campanella” loudspeakers.
Next year?
Will we start hearing about the press getting heart attacks as they try to cover 600+ rooms in one month?
Or the industry being stripped of cash reserves as they pay a fortune to shippers for overnight delivery?
Or maybe they will join us and all just stay home with a pillow over our heads. 🙂
Similar to the Neil Young Live concert on Facebook, but this ‘secret’ event seems much better publicized.
It will happen over on Paul McCartney’s YouTube channel
Be interesting to hear the audio quality, as well as to see how many people ‘go’.
He did TOO write some great songs. 🙂
8pm EST
A few more photos as the show report comes together…
The sliver faceplates of the Audio Note components against the black of the equipment racks was an awesome thing to see – as well as hear 🙂
[forgive me. new camera. new to lightroom]
The AN components were the two box DAC: The Fifth Element and Fifth Force, the two box M9 Phono preamplifier and the CDT-Five transport.
*happy ears*
We are going to pepper you with photos from the show for awhile here. Oh, and photos from our digs here as well.
Uh, hope you all like pepper!
[the show report is progressing apace – expect it to still be a week out or so]
Acapella Campanile 2 loudspeakers
Audio Note, HRS and Acapella
This is the path we had to use get to the light switches – between the right speaker and the LaMusika poster 🙂
The Florida Audio Expo is coming to Tampa, FL this February 8-10, 2019.
[Its a little far away for us, but the prices are very reasonable and it is at an Embassy Suites, so exhibitors get to sleep near their gear in the exhibit room – we always enjoyed this when we were able to swing it in the past.]
