New York Audio Show in April 2013

Putz · January 11, 2013, 08:37:52 AM

I know a lot of us went last year and maybe some of us will be exhibiting this time around. They're offering 10% discount to Audio Clubs. Maybe we can take advantage of that discount for those forum members who are cheap F***s. I know I am.

Here's a link to the event.

I believe members of the NY Audiophile Society receive a discount. Don't know if any of the other groups managed to think ahead.

You only save about $3, and you have to stand on a long line to pick up your ticket once you get there. For the $3 savings I think you might just want to buy it full price and print it from your computer so you can avoid that 45 minute line.

Its a royal pita to watch your friends walk right in while you have to wait in that evil line of evil. Ask Andy.

You guys have a room this year or just attending?

I'll be there on Saturday.

I'm staying home this year. Nothing really floats my boat these days. Maybe DACs.
Getting ready for DC Audiofest. Will be sharing room with GTAudio, Triode Wire Labs and SMA Audio, so far.
DC Audiofest is a great venue, laid back, live music every night and best of all good people. Gary Gill the organizer makes a nice show.

Raidho was very good as was Joseph audio. The top of the line Wilson was nice but not any of thier other stuff. I was really amazed at how much you need to spend to get something decent. Ridiculous really but I go just for fun and I went Friday and had a good time. I saw a couple of AN'rs there.

Really? Did you get to hear these? $2k I believe.
More than just decent IMHO

Those speakers had that beautiful sounding, small, British-made Music First preamp ($6K) in the system... Nice!

How about those French-made see through Glass Speakers from Waterfall Audio... cool looking, didn't sound bad either...
