Less than 3 weeks to go!
A few words of advice for those hoping to audition lots of gear at the show. \
First don't overdo it because after a while it becomes rather difficult to hear even major differences. So take lots of breaks from listening and make some new friends.
Out on the main show floor it's pretty noisy so auditioning open back headphones is a bit tricky. Closed back headphones and IEMs fare much better. Open back headphones are best auditioned in one of the many smaller side rooms. Don't worry if you're not sure about what I'm talking about, things will be very clear once you're there.
Okay enough talk about equipment and seminars, let's talk about food and nighttime entertainment. Of course where and what to eat will be discussed on this thread over the next 3 weeks, with pizza leading the way!
I'm a big jazz fan and so I will be checking the schedules of the major NYC jazz clubs to see who will be playing on Saturday February 25th. So far I've seen that singer Jane Monheit will be at Birdland Jane Monheit and that the Karl Denson Project will be at the Blue Note Jazz Club. It does appear that the Village Vanguard will be closed that weekend There are many other jazz and music venues so if anyone would like to add anything, please do so.
