I want to see amirm in a bad disguise walking around with his APx555 in a pelican case and surreptitiously measuring expensive snake-oil.

...and also a battery pack on a waist band to power the AP

I filled out the form a little while ago, so now at six people. I''ll be there Fri & Sat,

Anyone planning to stay for the live music after the show Fri. or Sat evening? I don't want to hang out alone, but my wife won't come near the show.

I used to fly to Denver every year for RMAF, but because that's no longer an option I really hope this show is a big success. I did enjoy it last year!

Hey all, I'll be there with Angel City Audio in Cascade 13 if you want to say hello. We have an Eversolo DMP-A6 in service for those who want to check that out. We haven't gotten our shipment in yet but we should have all Zidoo/Eversolo products to sell soon theoretically.

Pacific Audio Fest Gets Underway

The Pacific Northwest's premiere/sole audio show, the Pacific Audio Fest (PAF), takes place today through Sunday June 25 at the Doubletree by Hilton at SEATAC airport near Seattle.

I might stay for that RnB show, and if they have a bar.

Just got home. I stayed for the live swing band at 7:00pm, but left that at the 7:45pm intermission to head to the 13th floor Acora room for an 8:00pm after hours listening session with stories behind the recordings by Greg Weaver..

They did have a no-host bar in the lounge for the live music.

I attended PAF during the day, but unfortunately missed out on the live swing band due to a previously-scheduled appointment. Today, I attended Benno Baun Melgaard's presentation on speaker design and speaker set-up, which I found very interesting and thought-provoking. I also attended an equally insightful and inspiring presentation by David Soloman of Qobuz (FYI pronounced "KO - BUZZ"). I visited a few exhibitor rooms, and what struck me was the generosity and courtesy of many of the exhibitors when engaging in some small talk about music.

I will be there tomorrow, and plan to attend the evening's music as well as the 5 pm taco bar and wine sampling. Hope to see many of you around 5:00 if not sooner, and particularly hoping Amir can make it.

Glad the seminars were good. I didn't have time to catch any. Have to go back tomorrow as I barely touched the 13th floor rooms. They weren't playing the $550,000 Borresen M6 speakers both times I stopped by. They had another very nice model in the room that they were playing. I don't know if they fired up the M6's at all.

It was a long 12+ hrs day, plus a 45 min drive each way. I'll check back tomorrow to see the meetup location.

 

[denydog]

They're playing the Borresen M6's this morning. Sounds pretty good in a large room. I'd compare with the big Vonschweikerts in another large room.

So meeting somewhere tonight?

 

[alont]

Starting around 4:45 I'll be hanging out in this sitting area right by registration on the first floor. Looking forward to meeting you all!

I'll try to hang out until then, but I'm fading fast. Got less than four hrs sleep last night.

I'm wearing a straw hat today

 

[alont]

I'm happy to meet earlier - just finished going through all the room and now taking a belated lunch break. I'll be back in the lobby area around 4. Wearing a red Hawaiian shirt today with blue jeans

 

[RenSong]

What are you excited to see/hear? For me, The Mofi SourcePoint speakers and the Monitor Audio Gen 3 speakers. I'm also looking forward to hearing ETA headphone and internally chuckling about the Lautsänger headphones.

The mofis sounded better than the monitors to me lol
