Audio show are a good place for vendors to network. I have seen different vendors hook up and display together. It makes financial sense plus it refines your sound.
Audio shows are good to display yourselves to a group of people at one time. I always will see new products from familiar vendors as well as new vendors.
Nothing beats seeing something in person. No amount of discussion forum nor YouTube can equate to that.
Very insightful! We are always debating this issue. There are still many audiophiles that have never heard of Cherry products. It’s great to meet customers at shows and nothing can truly replace a face-to-face!
