I tried several times to photograph this, see below, to capture how cool it looked. Not sure I succeeded.

High Fidelity Cables – Axpona 2018

The other High Fidelity Cables room was locked, and this one had several classic ‘science discovery toys’ on display along with several ‘scantily clad women’ [ sorry, no photo 😉 ]. Depending on who you are, this was either THE room to see, or THE room to avoid, wildly inappropriate, or… geez, probably several other ways to react to all this. Me? I wanted to check out the ‘science discovery toys’ but instead continued on my ‘photographing way’ to the next room.

SOtM – Axpona 2018

SOtM is a Korean company [ hi Mae! 🙂 ] that has grown by leaps and bounds since I first took photos of their room many years ago. Many international manufacturers like this have decided Axpona is, more or less, the one show they will exhibit at each year in the U.S. The mantle has largely passed from CES, to RMAF, to Newport, and now to Axpona, in fairly rapid succession. The future… ? [yes, I know. Munich 🙂 ]
