Hey guys, I was able to spend the past two days at the 2016 RMAF and will throw a few images and thoughts up here. Unlike years past I didn't take detailed notes, so I won't have a whole lot of pricing or anything but passing thoughts. I didn't have the time, and mostly I just wanted to listen...

I'm proud to say that a job I've been working on for almost 2 years is finally coming to fruition. My company was fortunate enough to have been awarded the lighting for 1 WTC's first occupants, Conde Nast, who started moving in today. I'm the GM for our brand at both our factory here in Denver...

Hard to believe that RMAF 2014 starts tomorrow! I'm more stoked this year than I have been for a few as there are a few items I've yet to hear that I know will be at the show. I've got my camera batteries charging and will probably get back to what I did a few years ago and post my impressions...

Recent conversations revolving around DAC's has me interested in how folks are delivering content to their systems. I used to be a dyed in the wool analog guy, but started to see some hope with the advent of SACD, and eventually started getting into utilizing my computer as a source for my...

I don't watch a whole lot of network TV. I prefer to select what I want to watch when I want to watch it either off my DVR or On Demand. There are a few shows that have always been guilty pleasures for me - "The Walking Dead" probobly being my favorite. A few others that come to mind are...

I'd mentioned in the Sunday Morning Music thread that I'm spending a lot of time on the road these days. To that end I recently put together a reasonably high end portable headphone rig using a 7th Gen iPod Classic (160G), an ALO Audio Continental V2 headphone amp with an ALO Cricket LOD/Line...

There is a huge line outside the front door of the hotel for this years RMAF, so I'm just wandering about waiting for things to clear out. I'll post similar to the last couple of years by capturing impressions real time on my iPad and then coming back later to add photos. Hang on, here we go...

Just got in this evening from a few days in Santa Fe. Turned on the tube to catch up on some local news and couldn't believe it. Payton Manning is coming to the Denver Broncos. WOW! Can't wait for the season to start, but I'd also been a Tebow supporter. I can't see them keeping Tebow given the...

It's here! I'll be posting similar to last year, more or less real time from my iPad as I formulate my thoughts going from room to room. Then in the evenings I'll upload photo's that I'd snapped through the day. Looks like it's going to be a great show - huge turnout at the front desk to get...

I've soft deleted the "Tone Audio" thread. Tom can decide if he wants to open it back up or not. Let's all remember a few simple rules of conduct. It's OK to disagree, but never to disrespect. If you find no worth here, don't come. If there is nothing new, perhaps you should seek to bring...

Hard to believe it's here already! I've just dropped some coin on music and now starting to listen to systems. Thought I'd try post sort of real time - stream of conciousness style via the iPad. I'll come back and add photos and additional notes later Sitting in the Meitner room right now...

I'm on a road trip with my new Audi Q5 - drove the family to Portland Oregon for my daughter's graduation from Pacific University this morning. I love Oregon, been here at least a dozen times, and Portland is a vibrant place. BUT - what's with the traffic in this place? Holy Cow Jeff, how do...

We finally got a bit of sun here in Colorado, so I had a chance to get the car cleaned up. Beautiful morning to run out for some coffee and bagels and stop to snap a few pictures of the new Audi Q5 3.2FSI. So far I'm enjoying this car as much as any I've ever owned!

Alright, I'm reaching out to all of you car nuts out there with a completely off the wall question. I've got a new car that has been on the dealers lot for a week now, but I can't pick it up because of some disconnects on the finance side. I'm opting to finance through my bank because they can...

Well, Dave (Twich54) spilled the beans in another thread so I figured I'd start a dedicated thread about it here. A few weeks ago we both got a PM from Tom asking if we would be interested in evaluating some speakers for Martin Logan. Of course we both said yes! Another week or two pass and...

OK, so I don't want to alienate anybody BUT... This morning I was listening to some of the music I'd picked up at RMAF. One of the LP's I'd picked up was Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter". I like Jennifer Warnes. Last year I bought the anniversary reissue of "Famous Blue Raincoat" which I really...

Here we go... Starting coverage of the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2009! I'm stuck at my office this morning while the rest of my audio bretheren are at the show, so I may as well start posting a few pics and impressions from things I observed yesterday. I'm sure Dave, Wayne, Andrew, Rich...

Here's what the last day of summer looked like in the foothills around Denver yesterday. They got about 5 inches of the white stuff around Evergreen! Those of you coming out for Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (a short 10 days away!) will likely want to be prepared for a nice Indian Summer where the...

Interseting point that my friend Bernard brought up in a different thread (Why do Martin Logans have such lousy resale and interest?). Are you at the point of Audio Nirvana? I know I haven't bought anything new in quite some time - other than new music that is. I haven't been tweaking...
