If I have chance to drop in Minnesota, I would like to visit your factory or showroom.
I had been to 42 US states.
But Minnesota belong to 8 that I had never been there.

Could you also bring one of your OTL amp?
I had chance to listen to your class D amp to drive Tekton Moab which sound decent.
But I had never listend to your OTL yet.
It would be intersting to compare between your Class D and OTL amps.
At one point or the other, I have heard about every OTL design ever made (even the vintage ones like Luxman MQ-36 and a very expensive one from Japan) and Ralph by far makes the best sounding OTL amps. Get to Minnesota and be sure to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka ;-)

I agree with you. The show every 4-8 weeks that exists now is IMO unsustainable for smaller companies.
IMO the juice is just not worth the squeeze. Audio tourism maybe fun but its not a great investment.
FWIW they sound very similar. So you get a really good idea listening to the class Ds.
was on the fence; last night i decided to go, scrambled a bit for a flight and hotel room.
will arrive late Thursday, leave late Saturday afternoon for a 7pm flight out. so pretty short time. will have to be efficient with my time.
reasons for going is mostly i missed last year with a business trip, so i would like to hear some things, and see some people, catch up a little......feeling slightly out of touch. not listing any targets, don't want to get Kedar too worked up.
and very happy with where i'm at, but this part of the hobby is also important to me.

The San Francisco Audiophile Foundation (shortening to the Audiophile Foundation this year) will be holding a meetup and mixer Saturday night at Axpona from 6-8pm in the MoFi room 336. A short talk about plans for SFAF will happen, and some excellent Chicago style pizza will be served along with some fine Oregon wine to take the edge off your day! Personally, I'm looking forward to some real Chicago pizza! I may also bring some Japanese Whisky for shots and sipping
A number of industry folks will be in attendance, I hope I can meet a few more WBF frienz while I am there too!

Nice ones.
I had lived in Bay Area from 1982 to 1989.
During the time I enjoyed Thiel driven by Perraux pre and power amps.
Can I mix in as former resident of Bay area?
Absolutely, everyone is welcome and encouraged to visit. The Foundation is expanding beyond the Bay Area borders.Nice ones.

Early bird access to the PDF, officially goes public on April 1st:
AXPONA 2024 By Floor and Room/Booth
PS, if any information is missing, it's not for lack of diligence on my part, exhibitors/brands/manufacturers have to make timely updates via AXPONA's website CMS, Content Management System". I do what I can daily, and for whatever reason it has been almost a week without updates. That being said, this post could perhaps generate some more activity on their part. HINT. HINT.
And yes, when there are updates I will refresh the file on my server. The link shall remain the same, so bookmark it if you so choose.

Haha! It probably will.
When did you pull your data? SME is in my room (1420) and I don't see it on your list. (it does come up on the AXPONA search)
Exhibitors - AXPONA
Exhibitor List AXPONA 2025 Exhibitors and Brands List Locations: Listening Rooms: Room Numbers run from 304 to 1645, and also include names (ie Schaumburg, Utopia) Ear Gear Expo: Locations start with the number 8 (ie. 8101, 8201) The Expo Hall: Locations start with the number 9 (ie. 9307, 9316)...
axpona.com
This one will work.
Ok, manually added. I'm curious when SME was added because I've been running my script daily and for the past few days there have been no changes.
I’m in for 3 days. Looking forward to meeting y’all. Probably take a show break next year outside of the new Dallas one.
Some Housekeeping. if the folks at AXPONA keep this up, good on them, I won't have to do this work anymore aggregating the PDF file.
Visit this link: https://axpona.com/exhibitors/. and you will find their OFFICIAL Exhibitor Spreadsheet. And if you look closely you'll see that they too do not include SME in Room 1420, even though it can be found by drilling down manually through their website.

I'm glad that AXPONA is publishing this spreadsheet, and moving forward I have far less work to do.
YAY!!!
I am such a lazy SOB!!!

Hi,
Does anybody know if Kuzma will be showing or will be represented at AXPONA this year? If so, which rooms will they be in?
I haven't been able to find Kuzma anywhere on the spreadsheet yet.
I was really hoping to be able to spend some time listening to their tables and hopefully with their new tonearm.
Best wishes,
Don

Kuzma is listed as being in the Elite AV Distribution exhibit, room 312. They're the US distributor for Kuzma among other brands.
Elite AV Distribution at AXPONA
(Found them by using the option to 'Filter by Brands' on the AXPONA Exhibitors page.)
I’ll be there I arrive Thursday morning
I look to enjoy the show.
I look to enjoy the show.
