THE Show Irvine roll call

[KeithR]

Turns out I have a conference in SD that I'll be driving back from Friday morning, so will stop by Irvine on the way back to LA.

Anyone else attending? Can't imagine its more than 20 rooms this year.

Me

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

Would love to be there, unfortunately not in the cards this year.

 

[DaveyF]

There on Friday, maybe on Sunday as well.

Don't think it's in Anaheim...perhaps, that was last year?

 

[DaveyF]

Sam, as I think we both know, THE show this year is in Irvine. Not that far from Anaheim.
Are you going? If so what day?

 

[Ron Resnick]

I am scheduled to be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

[c1ferrari]

Are you going? If so what day?

Perhaps, Saturday, Davey.

 

[DaveyF]

Perhaps, Saturday, Davey.

Sorry, I guess I will miss you at the show.

Hi Guys

I didn't know where exactly to post this but felt that Keith's thread here would be the best place

As you'll know, when THE Show was at Newport I would have an open house at my place at 6:30 Saturday evening. Well it's been 3 years since I've done this and Cathy and I were thinking it was about time again.

So to all members and non members who read this and would like to attend, all I need to know is the name and head count as well as the driver name as it's guarded gate community.

I live about 20 miles south of the hotel so a 20-30 minute drive

We'd like to invite you to the house for drinks and hors d'oeuvres and as before at 6:30

 

[DaveyF]

Steve, are you going to be there on Friday?

 

[Steve Williams]

I should be there Friday and Saturday Davey

I am going to post the announcement about my open house in the General AudioForum where more will see it as right now there doesn't'seem to be a plethora of people attending THE Show

 

[DaveyF]

Steve, hope to see you there on Friday.

 

[Ron Resnick]

I am planning to be there for two nights and all three days, but if there aren’t that many exhibit rooms I might not need anywhere near three days.

 

[Ron Resnick]

Looking on the exhibitors list I did not see Von Schweikert Audio or Aesthetix or VTL or Audio Element.

 

[DaveyF]

Looking on the exhibitors list I did not see Von Schweikert Audio or Aesthetix or VTL or Audio Element.

Or for that matter numerous others. Unlike years past, this show could be a very quick visit with far fewer rooms and a lot less attendance...we shall see.

 

[c1ferrari]

Reports? Observations?

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

Me thinks this will be a rebuilding year, looking forward to next year when all of this will be behind us.
Really wish I could be there for support.

 

[c1ferrari]

I had thought about driving up Saturday, staying Saturday night, and driving back Sunday;
however, a going-away party for my cousin altered that intention.

 

[KeithR]

There are around 20 rooms - and a lot of them were more limited (monitors with digital for example). There were few analog setups and even fewer tape decks (MBL only I believe). Exhibitors definitely didn't go all out for the most part.

I think most of the forum members who attended seemed to prefer the same rooms - the big YGs in the Alma room, the Evo Acoustics/DartZeel room, and the smaller Gryphon room. I think Odyssey was the best value room, albeit a little weird/tricked out room treatment.

I hope this paves the way for a grand return in 2019 with the LAOCAS which was clearly absent and much needed.

THE Show needs to dump the makeup booths, lighting, and all the non-audio stuff. It was so lame walking around the marketplace being asked about moisturizer.
