UE and JHA should be selling also.
Oh and +500,000 for having some beers.
Any word on if Manley Labs is coming to RMAF? I'd love to hear the Neo-Classic 300B and Stingray II.
Since this is my first RMAF show but not my last, should I hit the Canfest on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? I know it will be a mess on Saturday, so I want to hit the most that I can at the show without missing anything.
Based upon last year I didn't get the impression that the Can Jam was a mess at any time. The room is huge and it allows everyone to spread out, making it a lot easier to move around than the local meets I've been to (or hosted, our place was just barely big enough to house PNW Head-fiers).
A general rule of thumb is that the exhibit rooms with speakers sound the best on the last day, after the exhibitor has had a couple of days to do battle with the room acoustics. So it might make sense to do the software and headphone sections earlier in the show and any critical room listening later. I usually do a quick sweep of the rooms and pick a few that I want to go back to for extended listening, on the last day. Of course there will be quite a few headphones and headphone amps that will be brand new and needing break in at the show, so it might be useful to set aside time for a final listen to your favorite headphone gear toward the end of your time at the show, too. I'm bringing a fair number of well broken in cans, but the amps may be getting better and better as the days progress since nearly everything we are bringing is pretty new.
