Ha! Remember we used up two pages of thread worring about that last year and four showed. We thought it would be twenty.

Yes - but I eat enough for 20 so that's got to count for something

Do we have a time for dinner at DFH on Saturday evening?

Looking forward to talking audio and a very good beer!

Today was a very nice day and got to listen to a lot of rooms. Always good to see old friends and meet new ones at this event.

Lunch at the hotel @ 11:45am-ish; dinner at Dog Fish after the give-aways.

Ok, will try and make both gatherings!

Just spend a few hours there today. Great local products too. Cathedral Speakers was there again - made in Sterling and Paolo Audio in Manassas. everyone should check out Paolo's remote control.

Legacy sound nice in their room (below) and their little bookshelves in the Everything Audio Network room

I also went up to see AJ in Soundfield Audio's room (which sounded really nice and dynamic) and immediately recognized him from his old picture

John Gatski of Everything Audio Network also enlisted Mark Waldrep of AIX records to come. I have a bunch of their DVD-As and talked to Mark a few minutes. He has Blu-Rays there. Note that he only has a couple of copies of each of his DVD-As there so for those that want them better get there early tomorrow. I saw and listened to a couple of cuts from a Mozart Blu-Ray in the Everything Audio Network room and bought it and was given a free hi-rez sampler too (I am not sure how big his supply is of those so you may want to get there early for that too). The website and Blu-Ray and sampler are below.

Polk Audio also has a full production model of their prototype reference speaker they showed last year. It is definitely better sounding now.

Legacy Audio also gave out their music sampler volume 1 - not sure how many they brought - but here's a picture of it - http://www.legacyaudio.com/backstage/

Just made it to the Crowne Plaza for the show. Looking forward to hearing Lou's speakers and Bill's Purity preamp. Also looking forward to meeting fellow AC posters who are here. Cheers.

Don't want to alarm you, but I think AJ was impersonating you!!!

That better be a Newcastle in hand, or that ain't me!

HAL · « **Reply #58 on:** 14 Jul 2012, 04:10 pm »

Ok, I am in the lobby/restaurant.
Will be easy to spot with the red HAL ballcap.
See you soon.
