Tyson and I went today. It was... ok... No not really that great honestly. Just a bunch of broken ass shit priced way too high. Some very nice restored vintage equipment though! I'll post some pics, but really not a ton for me to get excited for. Lots of Vinyl, too bad I'm not into vinyl, because they had tons of it everywhere. Can you really justify selling a non-working tube amp for $700?

I'm sure this sort of show is someones cup of tea, but it certainly wasn't mine. Want my $5 bucks back.

It seemed different this year, more records and less well cool gear but then again I wanted some vinyl and one guy had every record at $1 each, so for very little investment I have lots of new music.

Personally, I had a great time, was there for 4 hrs yakkin with people, bought some good stuff for cheap. it's very different every year.

Unfortunately, now "everyone" is an audio dealer, and vendors often have unrealistic ideas about what old stuff is worth. And a lot of good stuff sells before the 10 am opening time.
