I didn't go last year after several years of attending, I had a brand new grandson who was slightly more important than audio equipment. Now I'm not sure about this year either. I've been downsizing my system(s) in my retirement years and don't have anything I'm in the market for, so it would all be tire kicking.
Sold stuff. I might decide to move a couple of speakers, but everything else went already.
It's 110% tire kicking for me, especially right now, but I have always wanted to hear the Ohms. I'll stick my nose in the headphone space too, and hoping for some interesting presentations, but the schedule for those isn't posted yet.
No dedicated headphone space this year? No mention of any on the website nor any indication of such on the floor plans.
I hope they're not giving the seminars up (why would they?); I've really enjoyed those at the last couple shows. Perhaps the website is just lagging but... the show is less than 2 weeks away and no mention there.I think reducing the headphone exposure would be a mistake. That segment of the audio market is growing far faster than the segment that is wiling to consider $60-$100K audio systems. If the audio hobby is to grow, this is likely to be the point of entry.
The 'hearing lady' did impressions for me for custom tips a couple years ago.Paul Elliott here is associated with the show IIRC; maybe he can shed some light on these questions.
