Rmaf 2010

[vinylphilemag]

Hi all,

I feel a bit silly discussing this when summer has just barely begun, but is anyone planning to go to this year's RMAF in October? It'd be nice to put a few names to faces, so maybe we could arrange some sort of social one evening?

i've registered and reserved a room. coming in Thurday night leaving mid-day Sunday. there are typically get-togethers for Audiogon'ers and Vinyl guys at the Mexican Resturant across the street from the hotel on either Friday or Saturday night.

i've been to every RMAF so far; it's always a great time.

We'll be there...

Hi Rich,

Since RMAF is Oct. 15, 16, and 17 this year (and the not Columbus Day Weekend; I will be participating in an Art Show in RI that weekend) I may consider attending.

To the best of my knowledge though Jonathan Weiss and Oswald's Mill Audio is planning to participate. That should be a good room to visit.

We've got a room reserved and plan to couple the rmaf with some sightseeing. There are a group of Von Schweikert Audio Circlers meeting for a dinner and private audition. My wife and I would certainly be open to something on other nights.

My daughter is a Junior at the University of Boulder and good chance we will be visiting that weekend. If so I will be attending

 

[Jimna]

Ill be there.

I hope to be there for at least parts of it. There's a few people I'd like to catch up with, and also touch base with the Denver dealer who has been very helpful in helping me acquire some new toys.

 

[Steve Williams]

Would those dealers be John and Carl at Audio Unlimited

 

[DonH50]

No, the folk at Cherry Creek (Magnepan dealer). There are a lot of dealers I should really check out up in the Denver/Boulder area as it's been a few years since I looked around. OTOH, no-lookie means no buying expensive stuff I really want but don't really need... The only good news for me is that since I re-started my audio trek I have discovered prices have escalated so much that the gear I owned in the past is an order of magnitude or two beyond what I can pay now, removing the temptation. Hopefully... (Hmmm, if the kids pay for their own college, then we live with them in retirement, maybe I can afford that new ARC setup...)

Maybe it'd be good to start a list of dealers and places one should see while visiting Denver? Strange, but I rarely get up there (work in the Springs and only time I head north is to the airport or to visit my son at UNC). Last time I actually spent time there was for the ITG (International Trumpet Guild) conference a few years ago. - Don

I heard Cherry Creek closed? I havent tried to go there based on that info.

Ouch -- hope not! They are the only Magnepan dealer around, and I have had very good service from them. I last spoke with my saleslady there a few weeks ago and nothing was said, but then something like that would come up fast and quiet. They had a 15-year anniversary sale a few months ago. Their website is still up and running (not a leading indicator, I know). Might try them at (303) 758-4434 or sales@cherrycreekaudio.com -- I might try to ping them later.

 

[Jimna]

email sent, I hope Im wrong.

I spoke with Jonathan Weiss of Oswald's Mill Audio and confirmed that he will be at RMAF 2010. He expects to have the production speakers of the Prototypes that I hope to now have in 2 to 4 weeks for demonstration at that show.

Just got an email from my saleslady at Cherry Creek Audio -- she's fine, they're fine, will be at RMAF, but Magnepan is still not shipping the magical mythical center speaker-stand I would like to hear... They're still trying to catch up on all the 1.7 orders. Last I heard, they thought they'd be caught up by end of June, but guess not. I suppose that's a good thing! - Don

 

[Jimna]

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I emailed them last week and got the same news. www.cherrycreekaudio.com

 

[Gregadd]

I just bought my ticket for RMAF 2010.

 

[Albertporter]

I'll be there, hopefully doing show coverage for Audiogon so it becomes a free trip .

If AG does not budget I'll be there for fun rather than work. Either way, I'm not missing it, I've been to every RMAF show since it began.

 

[vinylphilemag]

I recently booked my flights and hotel room, so I'm definitely going and I'd love to meet up with fellow forum members!

 

[MiTT]

I wouldn't miss it either! Been to every one and don't plan to miss this one. Would be great to meet some of the folks here. I'll be hosting a few folks from the Martin Logan Forum one night for cocktails and munchies. The invitation goes out to members here too.
