Rack vendor at past Capitol Audio Fests

Who was that rack vendor that always use to be a Capital Audio Fest? He was a guy with a beard I believe?

I remember from past events (Silver Spring venue), he would always be in the main floor outside of a vendor like Surreal Sound's room.

I remember the display you're talking about but not the name.

The show website has info on past shows. Or email the show operators directly. They'll know.

AAron Hoffman of Kanso is the one who showed in lobby area. Excellent but expensive. Found an alternative SGR Racks.

It wasn't me :green: - even though I made a DVD rack that I gave to you when I moved.  My furniture making abilities are akin to my art work.  If I did any art work, the proper place to display it would be on the fridge with a magnet :lol:

  I'll say one thing about my friend AAron. He makes absolutely beautiful furniture. Yes furniture that are called racks. We used his racks exclusively and amp stands at CAF.

No. Has he been going to C.A.F. because I swear I don't see him.

He may not be exhibiting or just letting a vendor use his furniture who is exhibiting.  Rooms/exhibit spaces are expensive for vendors (that's why many vendors team up).

I was looking at it how vendors have come and gone at C.A.F.

The upcoming Florida Audio Expo has a special for vendors doing early registration - https://floridaaudioexpo.com/to-exhibit-stereo/

Still not cheap and of course a vendor needs to transport their goods.  So many times one will see a vendor at an audio show to get an introduction to audiophiles who were unaware or not totally familiar with their products.  I love Kanso's furniture.  Wish I had a spot for it.
